Some work on the videos has been released, including at a recent NASA meeting. Still, more recent work, particularly by the Pentagon, has not been made public, and the reticence of some government agencies to produce records has frustrated both Democratic and Republican lawmakers, Schumer’s staff members said.įor example, various Pentagon task forces have conducted extensive studies on videos taken by naval aviators and other military personnel that have remained secret. Their freedom of information offices are constantly deluged with requests for material on UFOs, only to be met with responses that the archives have been released. Intelligence agencies have said repeatedly that they have released the material they have. It is hard to know how many unreleased documents exist in government archives. officials have repeatedly said that none of the videos or other material they have collected appears to be evidence of alien visitation.
Officials have said most of the unexplained incidents are airborne trash, Chinese spying efforts or errant weather balloons. Under pressure from Congress, the Pentagon and intelligence agencies have gathered hundreds of reports of unexplained phenomena. Some of the videos released by the Pentagon have been explained as optical illusions or drones, but others remain unexplained and the object of much speculation.
Interest in UFOs has always been high, but it has grown even more since a collection of videos showing unidentified phenomena recorded by military sensors was made public and naval aviators described hard-to-explain events while on training missions. Senate staff members say the intent is to select a group of people who would push for disclosure while protecting sensitive intelligence collection methods. President Joe Biden would appoint the nine-person review board, subject to Senate approval. The Senate measure sets a 300-day deadline for government agencies to organize their records on unidentified phenomena and provide them to the review board. (While the government has agreed not to call mysterious sightings UFOs, various branches and agencies disagree on whether to refer to aerial phenomena or anomalous phenomena.) On Wednesday, the chamber included a narrower measure in its version of the annual defense bill that would push the Pentagon to release documents about unidentified aerial phenomena.

Mike Rounds, R-S.D., and Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who has championed legislation that has forced the government to release a series of reports on unidentified phenomena. The legislation, which Schumer will introduce as an amendment to the annual defense policy bill, has bipartisan support, including that of Sens. The measure offers the possibility of pushing back against the conspiracy theories that surround discussions of UFOs and fears that the government is hiding critical information from the public. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the majority leader, is pushing legislation to create a commission with broad authority to declassify government documents about UFOs and extraterrestrial matters in an attempt to force the government to share all that it knows about unidentified phenomena.
