The United States Congress has passed legislation directing the release of some UFO records. The records must pertain to unidentified anomalous phenomena, technologies of unknown origin, and non-human intelligence. They will be released after 25 years, unless classified by the president. However, advocates are disappointed by the removal of stronger language in the original amendment. There are claims of lobbying by aerospace firms to protect an alleged cover-up of crashed UFO technologies, but evidence of this is lacking. Resistance to the amendment came from the Department of Defense. The disclosure movement, fueled by claims from former military and intelligence personnel, has been gaining momentum. The Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has found no credible evidence of extraterrestrial activity. NASA has commissioned an independent panel to study UAP. Former U.S. Navy aviators and a Pentagon intelligence officer have testified about their encounters with UAP. In response, a UAP caucus has been formed in Congress to support the release of records and information.
