The National Security Agency has UAP records in highly classified intelligence channels. Disclosure Foundation obtained hundreds of pages after challenging the agency’s initial denial under FOIA. The production includes radar tracking reports, visual sightings, and intelligence reporting involving unidentified objects. Many records were previously classified TOP SECRET UMBRA. TOP SECRET is the highest baseline classification level in the U.S. government, and UMBRA is historically associated with highly sensitive signals intelligence. Many remain heavily redacted, even decades later. A initial review reveals a striking pattern: entries with conventional explanations are often more readable, while several of the most anomalous reports remain heavily withheld. High-speed objects. Silent lights changing direction. Disc-like forms. Luminous emissions. Fighter scrambles. The takeaway is clear: the U.S. government was monitoring foreign reporting and technical observations related to UAP for decades, and treating that information as highly sensitive intelligence. The data exists. The records exist. The secrecy remains. Disclosure Foundation will continue fighting for the public disclosure these records demand.

Harvard astrophysicist and Disclosure Foundation advisory board member Avi Loeb has announced a new UAP Science Advisory Council, established to bring scientific rigor to the government's work on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. Loeb will chair the council. He names five founding members with expertise spanning AI-driven data analysis, instrumentation, numerical analysis, and astrophysics. The announcement lands alongside the third release of government UAP files, which includes a June 5 AARO report noting that about 40% of the phenomena in one October 2023 case remain unexplained. Releasing records is a first step. The harder work is independent scientific analysis. A standing council to advise government agencies is a step toward that footing. Avi joins our science panel at the Disclosure Forum in Washington, D.C. on June 25. This will be a central topic.

Thank you to @RepEricBurlison , @RepLuna , @timburchett , @RepMoskowitz , and @RepScottPerry for standing with whistleblowers, journalists, and disclosure advocates today on the Capitol steps. One document discussed deserves attention: a declassified 1971 Australian government assessment titled “Scientific and Intelligence Aspects of the UFO Problem,” prepared by O.H. Turner, Head of the Nuclear Branch in Australia’s Joint Intelligence Organisation. While the document’s conclusions should be evaluated carefully and in their historical context, its significance lies in the fact that a government intelligence and scientific official was assessing the UFO issue in these terms more than fifty years ago. The assessment states that early USAF intelligence analyses found some UFO reports involved flight characteristics beyond known U.S. aircraft, and that the analysts involved could only envisage an extraterrestrial origin for some of those reports. It also describes the issue as one involving air defense, intelligence collection, scientific analysis, and potential advanced propulsion research, including questions related to gravity control. The document further argues that the U.S. government’s public posture shifted toward debunking and ridicule, even as underlying intelligence and scientific questions remained unresolved. That historical record is directly relevant to the oversight questions being raised today. If government records exist concerning UAP crash retrievals, biological evidence, advanced propulsion, compartmented programs, or past efforts to mislead the public, Congress has a responsibility to obtain them and the public has a right to an honest accounting. Today’s press conference was another important step toward that accountability. The next step is enforceable disclosure, credible whistleblower protections, and full congressional access to the records and witnesses needed to resolve this issue. disclosure.org/news/1971-aus…

Our Executive Director, @jordanflowers, joined CBS News this morning to discuss the Pentagon’s latest release of UAP files. As these releases continue to build the factual record around UAP, the need for a National Intelligence Estimate only grows, giving Congress and the public a clearer assessment of confidence levels, unresolved questions, and the forward-looking implications.

🧵 1/ There is a growing public conversation around whether UAP whistleblowers need “amnesty” before they can tell Congress what they know. That framing is understandable, but incomplete. The real issue is not whether Congress is legally allowed to receive classified information. It is. The harder issue is how witnesses and whistleblowers can responsibly provide that information while reducing the very real risks of retaliation. That distinction is at the center of our policy brief on disclosure of classified UAP information to Congress. Hunt Willis, Chief Legal Officer of the Disclosure Foundation, explains why classification cannot be used as a blanket shield against congressional oversight.

4/ This is also why “amnesty” is not the right universal frame. If someone has knowledge of illegal activity, misappropriation of funds, withholding from Congress, retaliation, or undisclosed programs that should have been reported, the question is not whether Congress has the authority to receive that information. The question is how to do it responsibly. That means: Talk to qualified counsel. Identify the proper committee or member. Use secure, nonpublic channels. Understand your employment status, clearance posture, and personal risk. Do not confuse a podcast, a public stage, or the press with a protected disclosure to Congress.

5/ No one should act on a social media thread as legal advice. But the public should understand the basic constitutional point: Congress is not powerless here. The executive branch cannot use classification as a permanent wall against lawful oversight. If UAP-related programs, records, funding streams, or reprisals have been hidden from Congress, there are lawful pathways for that information to reach the legislative branch. The real policy gap is not that Congress lacks authority. The real gap is that whistleblowers still need stronger protection from retaliation after they use the pathways Congress already created.

Document releases are only the beginning. Jordan Flowers, Executive Director of the Disclosure Foundation, explains why UAP transparency requires more than releasing files. It requires analysis, oversight, and a formal process for determining what is happening in our airspace. That is why we are advocating for a National Intelligence Estimate on UAP. And it is why Congress has already identified a path beyond document dumps through legislation like the UAP Disclosure Act.

“There is a dedicated office in the Pentagon whose sole purpose is to study UAP.” The public debate often lags behind the facts. Congress has already created and funded AARO, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. Recent incursions over sensitive military installations, including Barksdale Air Force Base, show why this issue is no longer theoretical.

For years, the public was told there was little to see. Last week’s release established something important on the public record: The U.S. government has been collecting data, receiving reports, and conducting analysis on UAP for decades. “That is no longer deniable.” - @ChrisKMellon Appreciate @DefenseScoop’s coverage of this historic moment and the work still ahead. defensescoop.com/2026/05/14/…

The Speech or Debate Clause is one of the most powerful constitutional tools Congress has to inform the public when agencies continue to withhold information of legitimate public interest. Additional UAP records, imagery, and footage remain classified. Where that classification is not adequately justified, Congress does not have to remain passive. We applaud @RepEricBurlison's commitment to use the Speech or Debate Clause if necessary, and to keep pushing until more UAP records, imagery, and footage are made available to the public.
This was the low hanging fruit. Apollo 17 photos. Pilot accounts. Predator drone footage. More is still classified, and I've seen some of it. If the administration doesn't release it, I will, under Speech or Debate.

In this clip, Disclosure Foundation Director of Operations @lesternare speaks with our Chief Legal Officer, Hunt Willis, about the Speech or Debate Clause and why it matters in the UAP transparency debate. As Hunt explains, Members of Congress are protected by an extraordinary constitutional immunity when acting within their legislative functions, including in contexts involving classified information. This is also addressed in our policy brief, Congressional Access to Classified Info & Related Legal Considerations, co-authored by Kirk McConnell and our Chairman @ChrisKMellon. The brief explains that the prevailing narrative around classified UAP disclosures to Congress is often skewed toward fear and illegality, when the constitutional and statutory framework is far more supportive of congressional access than many assume.
