Our mission is to promote greater understanding of UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) by advocating for government transparency & scientific research.
🧵 We have released a new policy brief: Policy Brief No. 7 - All Government-Funded UAP Records Belong in the UAP Records Collection at the National Archives.
The policy brief is authored by Christopher Mellon (@ChrisKMellon), Jordan Flowers (@jordanflowers) and Hunt Willis.
The new policy brief argues that the FY 2024 NDAA requires the National Archives’ UAP Records Collection to include not only agency records, but also government-provided and government-funded records, including those held by federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs).

Much has been revealed, but many questions remain unanswered.
If Congress isn't allowed to know the truth, who is?
Watch my full interview with @jordanflowers and me on with @DrPhil on YouTube.
In Jay Stratton's (@jaystratton) recently released memoire titled "Out of the Shadows," Stratton states: "There is a lot of evidence of UAP in NASA’s archives that has never seen the light of day. And while I can’t provide the specific examples I am aware of, I can say this with certainty: The evidence NASA has matches what our military aircrew have been seeing and reporting for years. The data exists.
Stratton goes on to mention that he worked with Mike Gold previously during Gold's tenure as Robert Bigelow's attorney during the AAWSAP days.
As we have announced previously, former NASA administrator Mike Gold is also a Disclosure Foundation Advisory Board member and is currently leading the effort to conduct a Foundation-led detailed review of NASA archival material to identify Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) information/data within it.
“The President is the ultimate declassification authority.”
Speaking with Dr. Phil (@DrPhil), Disclosure Foundation Executive Director Jordan Flowers (@jordanflowers) emphasized the president's broad authority to declassify information and outlined three actions to advance UAP transparency:
1. Expand NDA waivers across the intelligence community, defense contractors, and federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs).
2. Produce a National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on UAPs, requiring interagency coordination and a formal intelligence assessment of the phenomenon.
3. Establish a whistleblower restitution fund to address retaliation, lost security clearances, loss of income, and threats to personal safety.
As Flowers explained, whistleblowers may face severe professional and financial consequences even when they can make protected disclosures without criminal prosecution. Declassification authority exists. The question is how it will be exercised, and whether those who come forward will be adequately protected.
Are UAP secrets being withheld from incoming presidential administrations?
In this second clip from a new episode of the Dr. Phil Podcast (@DrPhil), Rep. Eric Burlison (@RepEricBurlison) raised concerns that sensitive UAP information may not have been passed from one administration to the next.
Burlison suggested the following:
• Information may have been deliberately withheld during presidential transitions.
• Critical knowledge may reside within mid-level government programs rather than with elected leadership.
• Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) and defense contractors may possess fragmented pieces of sensitive programs.
• Contractors could be working with materials without knowing their original source.
Burlison argued that someone within this network may still possess critical knowledge and that Congress must use its oversight and subpoena powers to obtain answers.
50 or more UAP orbs reportedly observed during a suspected luring operation at a Western U.S. military installation, possibly White Sands, New Mexico.
In a new episode of the Dr. Phil Podcast (@DrPhil), Rep. Eric Burlison (@RepEricBurlison) and Disclosure Foundation Executive Director Jordan Flowers (@jordanflowers) discussed the reported late-2025 operation.
Among the reported observations:
• Orbs approaching within 10 feet of a helicopter
• Objects splitting apart and recombining
• Intelligent-looking formations and responsive maneuvering
• Silent hovering without visible conventional propulsion
• Sudden, extraordinary acceleration
• Reddish-orange glows with bright white centers
• Possible pulsating light
• Observations involving optical and infrared sensors
Photographs associated with the reported operation were included in the government's PURSUE releases. The accompanying records also reference video footage that has yet to be made publicly available.
Rep. Burlison confirmed that requests have been made for video, radar, and other sensor recordings.
What attracted these objects, and what might the unreleased footage reveal? The public deserves to see the evidence.
1/3 Could UAP disclosure become a new geopolitical race between the United States, China, and Russia?
In Jay Stratton's (@jaystratton) recent interview with Bret Baier (@BretBaier ) on Fox News, the following exchange occurs near the end:
Bret Baier: “If an adversary cracks this technology before we do, what happens? Do you think China is trying?”
Jay Stratton: “I do. I think China and Russia are both working on reverse engineering craft of nonhuman origin.”
2/3 Stratton's statement ties directly into a new article from @TheInsiderPaper where Disclosure Foundation Executive Director Jordan Flowers (@jordanflowers) is quoted as previously suggesting that "China and Russia may have recovered unidentified objects and attempted to reverse-engineer them." In addition, the article states that "Flowers argued that the possibility of foreign governments studying such technology raised serious national security questions."
As concerns grow over a potential geopolitical race involving UAP technology and disclosure, these questions underscore the importance of greater transparency, rigorous investigation, and sustained congressional oversight.
The implications extend beyond disclosure itself to national security, technological competition, and America's role in leading a responsible global conversation on UAP.

Information was taken from a briefing presented by Chief Legal Officer Hunt Willis and other Disclosure Foundation representatives to the UAP Science Advisory Council. View the interactive briefing here.

A poignant reminder, especially on the UAP front: No person has ever been prosecuted or sued for providing classified information to any Member or committee of Congress.
Concerns around disciplinary action, clearance, and livelihood are warranted, but the stakes around prosecution and NDAs or lawsuits are different from the public narrative.
Recently shared by the Yale Student UFO Society, this clip features Disclosure Foundation Executive Director Jordan Flowers (@jordanflowers) and former congressional staffer and current Disclosure Foundation Advisory Board member Kirk McConnell discussing UAP whistleblower protections, the limits of congressional oversight, and unexplained drone incursions over sensitive military installations.
The discussion is excerpted from a longer Disclosure Foundation conversation originally published four months ago.
We thank the Yale Student UFO Society for highlighting these important issues and continuing to be part of this effort.

1/4 Weinstein comments on potential UAP "luring" operations near sensitive military bases.
In a recent interview, mathematician and physicist Eric Weinstein (@ericweinstein) questioned the official explanation for the February 11, 2026, closure of airspace over El Paso, Texas.
Pointing to reports of unexplained lights near White Sands Missile Range, Weinstein rejected the explanation involving Mexican cartel drones, stating, “I don't believe it's cartel drones.” He suggested two possibilities:
1. A classified U.S. drone capability being tested against domestic defenses, or
2. Unidentified aerial activity involving actors whose origins remain unknown, potentially including non-human actors.
His remarks are particularly relevant to information we have previously shared concerning alleged UAP “luring” operations near sensitive military installations, including White Sands Missile Range in late 2025. The "open secret in D.C." persists.
3/4 Another recent video clip where @jordanflowers discusses personnel that might have been present at the White Sands "luring" event itself (via the Endless Void Podcast, @KristinFisher).
https://t.co/kv3eQCD5Vy
The questions surrounding the alleged UAP “luring operation” at White Sands demand answers.
As Disclosure Foundation Executive Director Jordan Flowers (@jordanflowers ) explains in this clip from a new interview with The Endless Void (@KristinFisher), publicly available government records, statements from members of Congress, and subsequent reporting are beginning to form a picture that warrants serious scrutiny.
Based on the available information, Flowers discusses the possibility that personnel from ODNI, AARO, and the FBI may have been aware of - or even present for - the alleged operation. However, as Flowers indicates, important details remain unconfirmed.
The Disclosure Foundation is actively pursuing FOIA requests in order to better understand what occurred, who was involved, who authorized it, and what it could mean.
6/ Explore our new interactive presentation, National Security Information and the PURSUE Initiative, examining AARO, PURSUE, whistleblower protections, and congressional pathways to disclosure.
The original 28-slide presentation is also available to download.

🧵 Disclosure Foundation Chief Legal Officer Hunt Willis and other Foundation representatives were honored to recently brief the U.S. government's UAP Science Advisory Council (UAPSAC) on national security information and the PURSUE Initiative.
The briefing examined the legal frameworks governing UAP disclosures, including a comparison of AARO and PURSUE, whistleblower protections, and congressional pathways to disclosure.
We are making these materials publicly available at this time.
5/ A lawful pathway for public UAP disclosure through Congress already exists, without requiring passage of new legislation.
Members of Congress and their staff have constitutional protections for legislative acts, including certain public disclosures of information received privately.
While sources may still face employment retaliation or loss of security clearances if identified, the briefing explains how Congress can exercise its existing authority to bring information into the public record.
