Rep. Tim Burchett, a Republican from Tennessee, is set to introduce a new bill called “The UAP Transparency Act” that would require President Biden to direct federal departments to declassify all documents related to UFOs within 270 days. The bill aims to bring transparency to the issue of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) and addresses concerns about government cover-ups and spending on UFO-related programs. Burchett, along with other lawmakers, has been frustrated by the lack of information being released to the public and believes that transparency is essential.
The bipartisan effort to push for UFO transparency includes co-sponsors Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and Jared Moskowitz from Florida. The bill would not only force federal agencies to declassify UFO-related files but also require the president to provide quarterly reports to update Congress on the progress of releasing the information. Lawmakers like Burchett are concerned about the diversion tactics and stonewalling by government agencies, as well as the millions of dollars being spent on programs that officials claim do not exist. The bill aims to hold the government accountable for its spending and lack of transparency on UFO-related issues.
Recent reports have indicated that the Intelligence Community Control Access program, which was expanded in February 2021 to protect UAP reverse-engineering, was disestablished due to lack of merit. This highlights the disconnect between the government’s spending on UFO-related programs, the lack of tangible results, and the ongoing secrecy surrounding the issue. Burchett and other legislators believe that it is time for the government to release all information related to UFOs to the public in order to address concerns about cover-ups, wasteful spending, and lack of transparency.
While the push for UFO transparency continues, Republican lawmakers are focused on bringing all compartmentalized information about UFOs into one declassified pool. By merging federal agency files and making them available to the public, lawmakers like Burchett hope to clear the air and move forward on this important issue. The bill seeks to address the frustration felt by many legislators who have been kept in the dark about UFO-related programs and are eager to learn more about the government’s involvement in the study of unidentified aerial phenomena.
Burchett has expressed his disappointment with the lack of progress on UFO transparency, citing a recent classified briefing he attended where he felt discouraged by the limited information provided. He believes that the compartmentalization of information within the government hinders efforts to uncover the truth about UFOs and calls for a commander-in-chief who is willing to prioritize transparency on this issue. The bill introduced by Burchett aims to cut through the bureaucratic red tape and bring forth all relevant information on UFOs to the public eye, allowing for greater understanding and accountability in this area.
Overall, the UAP Transparency Act represents a significant step towards addressing concerns about UFO cover-ups, government spending on UFO-related programs, and the lack of transparency surrounding UAPs. By requiring federal agencies to declassify UFO-related documents and provide regular updates to Congress, the bill aims to shed light on a topic that has long been shrouded in secrecy. With bipartisan support and a clear focus on transparency, lawmakers like Burchett are working to ensure that the public has access to all information related to UFOs, ultimately aiming to bring clarity and accountability to this complex issue.
