Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer supports declassifying UFO-related government records.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has expressed his support for bipartisan legislation aimed at declassifying government records relating to unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and anomalous phenomena. The proposed legislation, which would amend the National Defense Authorization Act, seeks to make all records on unidentified phenomena accessible to the public, unless a review board determines that they should remain classified for legitimate reasons. The process is inspired by the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, which mandated the release of files related to Kennedy's assassination. However, not all of the files have been released, leading to ongoing public scrutiny and a lawsuit by JFK scholars.
Schumer believes that it is time for the American public to receive answers regarding mysterious and unexplained objects. He asserts that the public has the right to learn about unknown technologies, non-human intelligence, and unexplainable phenomena. The legislation not only aims to declassify existing government knowledge on these subjects but also to establish a system for future research to be made public.
The amendment has garnered support from several senators, including Sen. Mike Rounds, Sen. Marco Rubio, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Sen. Todd Young, and Sen. Martin Heinrich. Sen. Rounds emphasizes the importance of maintaining credibility in any investigation or record-keeping related to unidentified anomalous phenomena. He believes that relevant documents should be preserved and that the establishment of a central collection location and a reputable review board will enhance the credibility of future investigations.
The proposed amendment also includes the creation of an independent UAP Records Review Board, which will determine whether records should be fully disclosed to the public or postponed. After 25 years, all records must be made public unless the sitting president certifies that continued postponement is necessary for national security reasons.
It is worth noting that former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden both postponed the full release of the JFK assassination files due to alleged security concerns. However, Biden eventually ordered the release of thousands of documents, with some released last year and others earlier this year.
The announcement of the proposed amendment coincides with reports that the House Oversight Committee expects to hold a hearing on unidentified aerial phenomena later this month. Rep. Tim Burchett, who supports the hearing, emphasizes the need for transparency and the truth. He claims that federal agencies have engaged in cover-ups regarding UAP and extraterrestrial sightings, and that individuals who have come forward with information have faced threats to their careers.
Burchett points to video footage on YouTube, such as the "Tic Tac" video, as evidence of the existence of these unidentified aircraft. The video shows pilots attempting to chase an aircraft that exhibits extraordinary speeds and maneuvers.
In conclusion, the proposed legislation aims to provide the public with access to government records on unidentified phenomena. It seeks to establish transparency, credibility, and a pathway for future research in this field. The support from senators and the upcoming hearing on unidentified aerial phenomena indicate a growing interest in uncovering the truth behind these mysterious objects.
