We all want realistic transparency that doesn’t give way our secrets but also doesn’t hide a basic universal knowledge- we are not alone.

VERSIONS OF THE UAP DISCLOSURE ACT FILED IN BOTH CHAMBERS OF CONGRESS

Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Mike Rounds (R-SD) filed the "UAP Disclosure Act" (UAPDA) as a possible amendment to the FY 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA, S. 4784) on June 24, 2026.

This means that versions of the UAPDA are now formally available for possible consideration when the Senate and House take up their respective versions of the NDAA, likely in July. But the UAPDA faces a rocky path ahead.

Congress-dot-gov shows that the Schumer-Rounds amendment was filed on June 24 as S. Amdt. 6344 to S. 4784. Due to an unusual technical problem, the Congressional Record for June 24 has not yet been posted, so the amendment language is not yet available for examination at this writing (11:45 AM EDT on June 26), but I am told that it differs little from last year's language. I will note any significant changes after the June 24 Congressional Record is posted.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has indicated that he plans to try to move S. 4784 through the Senate around mid-July. So far 729 amendments have been filed, with more expected. A small fraction of these amendments are likely to receive roll call votes on the Senate floor, but the great majority of the amendments will either be incorporated into the bill as parts of a multi-amendment "manager's amendment," which will be negotiated behind the scenes, or discarded for lack of sufficient consensus.

It seems to me unlikely that the Schumer-Rounds proposal will become the subject of floor debate and a separate roll call vote. In 2023 the UAPDA was incorporated into the NDAA through the out-of-sight negotiation process and in that fashion passed the Senate, but later it was greatly diluted in conference committee. In 2024 and 2025 the UAPDA did not make it into the bill at all.

The House of Representatives has never considered or passed the UAPDA. The UAPDA has never been the subject of a hearing or a recorded vote in any congressional committee.

In the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Eric Burlison (R-MO) on June 18 filed a version of the UAPDA with the House Rules Committee, as a possible amendment to the House version of the FY 2027 NDAA (H.R. 8800). Burlison's amendment is not labeled as the "UAP Disclosure Act," but it largely tracks the proposals that have carried that name, including the new Schumer-Rounds submission.

The Burlison proposal (amendment no. 1044 on the House Rules Committee list of amendments submitted for H.R. 8800) has been cosponsored by Reps. Eli Crane (R-AZ), Andre Carson (D-IN), Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), and Nick Begich (R-AK).

Both the Schumer-Rounds and Burlison proposals would establish a temporary federal agency, consisting of a presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed review board with professional staff, dedicated to locating records and materials related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). The proposed review board would have authority to issue subpoenas in some circumstances and to request Attorney General-issued subpoenas in others.

Burlison's amendment does NOT contain the "findings, declarations, and purposes" paragraphs that were part of the original UAPDA unveiled in the Senate in July 2023 by Schumer and Rounds. Those provisions, much quoted in ufological circles, suggested the existence of UAP records hidden from proper oversight through excessive classification, and asserted that the legislation was "necessary to restore proper oversight over unidentified anomalous phenomena records by elected officials in both the executive and legislative branches of the Federal Government that has otherwise been lacking..."

Still, Burlison's new version retains multiple provisions that refer repeatedly to "non-human intelligence," which the amendment defines as meaning "any sentient intelligent non-human lifeform regardless of nature or ultimate origin that may be presumed responsible for unidentified anomalous phenomena or of which the Federal Government has become aware." The proposal also refers repeatedly to "technologies of unknown origin," defined to include devices "incorporating science and technology that lacks prosaic attribution or known means of human manufacture." Burlison's amendment still contains a provision objected to by some UFO-oriented groups in past years, allowing the government to seize "all recovered technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence of non-human intelligence that may be controlled by private persons or entities" through the exercise of the power of eminent domain.

The Rules Committee is currently scheduled to meet on June 29 to decide which amendments may be considered when the full House takes up H.R. 8800, although that meeting could be postponed. So far 1,330 proposed amendments have been filed. Based on the practice in previous years, only a small fraction of the amendments filed will be made in order for floor consideration. UAPDA-type amendments were not made in order when they were filed at Rules in 2024 (by Rep. Robert Garcia, D-CA) and in 2025 (by Burlison).

Of those amendments that the Rules Committee does make in order, some will be accepted on the floor in batches ("en bloc") by voice vote , and others will be allowed separate roll call votes. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL) and other committee leaders largely determine which in-order amendments end up wrapped into en bloc packages.

At a June 25 forum on Capitol Hill sponsored by The Disclosure Foundation, Burlison said he wants the Rules Committee to make his amendment in order "so that when it [NDAA] comes to the floor, at least we get an opportunity to have a vote on the UAP Disclosure Act. And then you'll know who supports it and who doesn't. But I've got to get [the] Intelligence Committee to approve that." ((The chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) is Rep. Rick Crawford, R-AR.)) However, I would be surprised to see the Burlison amendment receive a separate roll call vote, as envisioned by Burlison. No amendment explicitly referring to UAP or UFOs has ever been the subject of a stand-alone roll call vote on the floor of either chamber of Congress.

It seems to me much more likely that if the Burlison amendment is made in order, its adoption would occur by being accepted for an "en bloc" list, without a separate roll call.

Questions or comments dealing directly with the substance of these or related legislative proposals, or the legislative process being employed, are welcome below, although I cannot always reply rapidly. Discussion of other UAP matters or personalities does not belong in this thread; those who egregiously violate this advisory may be blocked.

🚨 SR-71 Pilot Capt David Fruehauf who also worked under Ben Rich at Area 51 says Bob Lazar is telling the truth about working at S4 🛸👽

"Everything Bob Lazar describes from getting on the 737 Plane, going through the gate & jumping on the Bus to S4 seems totally accurate to me"

From the Ancient Aliens episode "Storming Area 51" that Jeremy Corbell consulted on – huge validation for Lazar's story!

Do you believe Bob Lazar now with this insider backing? Have you followed the Janet flights or Area 51 mysteries? What's your take on these new witnesses?
