For decades the American people were treated like children and told to just trust the process. That era is over.
This is the age of disclosure, and the truth belongs to you, not to a bureaucrat who stamped it classified 30 years ago.
Lord Hill-Norton was one of the highest-ranking military figures in Britain. He was Chief of the Defence Staff (the UK’s professional head of the armed forces), First Sea Lord (head of the Royal Navy), Chairman of NATO’s Military Committee & Member of the House of Lords.
#AGEOFDISCLOSURE
It is an outrage the House didn’t work with us on our UAP proposal for a review board.
This means declassification of UAP records will be up to the same entities that have blocked and obfuscated their disclosure for decades.
We will keep working to change the status quo.
BURLISON FILES UAP REVIEW BOARD PROPOSAL TO HOUSE DEFENSE BILL
In the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Eric Burlison (R-MO) today (June 18, 2026) filed at the House Rules Committee, as a possible amendment to the FY 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 8800), a 65-page proposal to establish a federal review board dedicated to locating records and materials related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
Burlison's amendment, cosponsored by Reps. Eli Crane (R-AZ) and Andre Carson (D-IN), is not labeled as the "UAP Disclosure Act" (UAPDA), but it largely tracks proposals that carried that name in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Burlison’s proposal would fold in the "UAP Records Collection" framework in the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), enacted as a compromise in late 2023. But Burlison's proposal would go much further, creating a temporary federal agency and nine-member board, with members nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. This agency would be empowered to search out UAP-related records and materials for the purpose of orderly public disclosure, subject to some constraints.
The proposed Review Board would have authority to issue subpoenas in some circumstances and to request Attorney General-issued subpoenas in others. A provision objected to by some UFO-oriented groups in past years, allowing the government to seize materials deemed to be of non-human origin through the exercise of the power of eminent domain, remains in the amendment.
Burlison's amendment does NOT contain the "findings, declarations, and purposes" that were part of the original "UAP Disclosure Act" unveiled in the Senate in July 2023 by Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Mike Rounds (R-SD). 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."
The Rules Committee may meet the week of June 29 to decide which amendments may be considered when the full House takes up H.R. 8800, which could occur the same week. Over 1,100 proposed amendments had been filed with the House Rules Committee by the "deadline" at 5 PM today (June 18, 2026), and some additional amendments are generally accepted late. Based on the practice in previous years, however, only a fraction of the amendments filed will be made in order for floor consideration. UAPDA 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).

Questions or comments dealing directly with the substance of this or related legislative proposals, or the legislative process being employed, are welcome below, although I cannot always answer questions rapidly. Discussion of other UAP matters or personalities does not belong in this thread; those who egregiously violate this advisory may be blocked.
The UFO conversation has gone from fringe to the Senate floor. @shanesmith30 and @Dan_Farah, director of @ageofdisclosure, discuss what brought about this change and the 80-year cover-up of the existence of non-human intelligent life.
