The law urges the U.S. Department of Defense to report what observations of unidentified intruders have been made in airspace and in space or underwater. The Department of Defense has required the Pentagon to report whether those who have made UFO sightings have been harmed, whether UFOs may be state-of-the-art in an enemy country, or whether UFOs are otherwise a threat to the United States. For the first time in the United States, a bill is being passed, which clearly and in great detail provides for the handling of UFO sightings.

The Department of Defense has required the Pentagon to report whether those who have made UFO sightings have been harmed, whether UFOs may be state-of-the-art in an enemy country, or whether UFOs are otherwise a threat to the United States. The law obliges the Secretary of Defense to set up a new office to administer the findings of the armed forces and intelligence services on unidentified targets for which no explanation can be found.

The word UFO is not mentioned in the law. Instead, the U.S. authorities use the abbreviation UAP, which refers to unidentified phenomena in the air. However, in the new law, the term UAP also covers enigmatic objects that are observed to move between the atmosphere and space, as well as those that move from air to water or from water to air.

The law sets strict and concrete goals for the defense administration in a very controversial matter. The law tells the Pentagon to investigate what technology UFOs are all about and pave the way for the United States to do the same. It also obliges the Department of Defense to report to Congress on whether the U.S. has projects to abduct UFOs or whether UFOs may be exploited.

The law treats UFOs as if they had already been identified as concrete objects, the “origin” and “intentions” of which the law must now seek to ascertain. Last summer, the Pentagon completed a preliminary ufo report with a public version; according to it, most of its UFO sightings are “likely to be physical objects.”

The report covered 144 UFO sightings by the armed forces. Of these, 80 were documented by a variety of means, including a radar or infrared camera in addition to visual observations.

Reports to the public, but also to secret information to Congress

According to the bill, all UFO sightings must be reported annually to key committees of Congress. The report has been made public but may be supplemented by a secret annex. The text of the law shows that Congress is taking the matter extremely seriously, says Nick Pope, who investigated UFO sightings at the British Department of Defense in the 1990s.

Pope commented on the bill to Yle by email after the bill was passed in the House of Representatives last week. Pope believes the law also means that Congress will “finally” hold the executive accountable for properly investigating UFO sightings.

Similarly, estimates Christopher Mellon, who has worked with, among other things, on request Executive Vice-Deputy Minister of Defense. The law is a huge step forward. It ensures that the general public also knows what will happen in the future, as it obliges public reporting, Mellon says.

The bill was passed a moment ago by 89-10 votes.

However, the bill has also been criticized. U.S. journalist Jason Colavito, who critically follows UFO sightings, believes that the text of the law opens the door to the most peculiar UFO theories. Now that Congress has passed the bill, it will still require the approval of President Joe Biden to become law. However, Biden’s confirmation is seen as a mere formality, as the bill had clear majority support among both Democrat and Republican members of Congress.

The motives of the Pentagon are disputed.

The UFO sighting law has been drafted by members of the House of Representatives and senators who, in addition to the Pentagon’s public UFO report, have received classified information about UFO sightings in the United States in recent years.

The importance of the bill has been particularly emphasized by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of the Democratic Party(switch to another service), Marco Rubio from New York, and Republicans(switch to another service) in Florida. Both are members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The strict wording of the bill denies that legislators have been dissatisfied with the transparency and reporting of the defense administration.

For example, the Pentagon’s UFO report last summer left more questions than answers, as all but one of the UFO observations it covered remained unexplained.

In connection with last summer’s report, the Department of Defense said it would improve its reporting UFO observations. The last couple of weeks ago, the Pentagon announced it was setting up a new research team to investigate UFO sightings. However, the Pentagon’s initiative has been criticized as an attempt to keep the phenomenon a secret because it did not promise to report the results to Congress or to the public.

Now, on the other hand, there are promised very strict obligations for the defense administration to report UFO sightings. They are part of the annual so-called NDAA Act, by which Congress directs the spending of Department of Defense money. The law covers a total of more than 2,000 pages, 15 of which deal with the investigation and reporting of UFO sightings.

The most significant public progress yet in understanding UAPs.

In November 2021, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) authored legislation creating an office to study UAPs government-wide and report to Congress. Gillibrand and a bipartisan bloc of lawmakers, including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) attached as an amendment to the annual defense bill, sent to President Biden’s desk Wednesday to be signed into law — that establishes a new office to study UAPs.

The amendment also requires unclassified reports on UAPs delivered to Congress each year and semiannual classified briefings to legislators. The move represents the most significant public progress yet in understanding UAPs.

The June 25th, 2021 UFO report, particularly that classified version, really shook up a lot of people in Congress. It’s what got Kirsten Gillibrand to write up her Amendment. But what did they all see in that classified version?

The June 25th, 2021 UFO report, particularly that classified version, really shook up a lot of people in Congress. It’s what got Kirsten Gillibrand to write up her Amendment. It got others like Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney to start talking about all this in public language that held open the possibility that they may not be on this Earth.

It got the same response from NASA’s new administrator Bill Nelson. Even Avril Haines, whose office put it out, was talking more openly in the aftermath. Plus, last year saw former CIA chiefs taking to the airwaves and talking about what a vast universe we live in, one where anything is possible. But what did they all see in that classified version?
