As a concerned citizen, I am writing to you regarding our government’s lack of transparency for 75 years about what it knows about UFOs, or what the government now calls unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP.
In December 2017, the New York Times revealed a secret government program investigating UFOs/UAP in the late 2000s. In June 2021, the Director of National Intelligence issued a report acknowledging the UFO/UAP phenomenon is real. In December 2022, Congress passed bipartisan legislation to continue investigating UFOs/UAP. Pressured by the aerospace/military industry, three Congressional leaders weakened a bipartisan bill. However, the president just signed legislation that directs the Defense Department and military services to turn over copies of their information about the UFO/UAP phenomenon to the National Archives. The president did, however, reserve the right to withhold some UFO secrets from the public.
The public knows little more than it did when the U.S. Air Force closed the Project Blue Book investigation in December 1969. The government assured us there was nothing to see here, but that’s just not true.
