Last year marked a profound shift in the conversation around unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the new preferred term for what everyone knows as UFOs.
The reflexive giggles that long followed any mention of “UFO” now subside quickly when the uninformed learn about bipartisan legislation and serious elected officeholders alleging that surreptitious government “legacy programs” possess “biological evidence of non-human intelligence” and are attempting to reverse engineer exotic “technologies of unknown origin.”
Although the UAP Disclosure Act passed the Senate with flying colors, House Intelligence chairman Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) successfully killed the most extraordinary elements of the legislation for no apparent reason that makes any sense.
After blasting this obstruction as an “outrage,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), who are sponsoring the legislation, vowed to continue fighting for truth and transparency in 2024.
Speaking on the Senate floor in the waning weeks of last year, Schumer charged elements of the U.S. government with illegally withholding UFO-related information from Congress. The Senate majority leader cited “multiple credible sources” and a “vast web” of whistleblowers to support his astounding allegation.
Ultimately, President Biden signed legislation directing government agencies to turn over any documents that “unambiguously and definitively pertain to [UFOs], technologies of unknown origin, and non-human intelligence” to the National Archives for preservation.
Given a multitude of pressing priorities and the decades-long stigma associated with UFOs, such extraordinary language does not receive a presidential signature on a whim.
Biden also signed into law provisions sponsored by two former presidential candidates, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), cutting off funding for illegal, unreported government UFO programs. Gillibrand and Rubio appear particularly concerned that America’s adversaries may have retrieved highly advanced UFOs and that excessive secrecy is inhibiting scientific understanding of “exotic” technologies recovered by the U.S.
The remarkable language in the UFO-related legislation proposed in 2023 closely mirrors the allegations of whistleblower David Grusch, a decorated Air Force veteran and former intelligence officer who, along with two other senior officials, first spoke publicly in June.
