The New Paradigm Institute is a Romero Institute initiative pursuing UAP disclosure through advocacy, litigation, research, public education, and whistleblower assistance.
The New Paradigm Institute is an initiative of the Romero Institute, a nonprofit law and public-policy organization associated with attorney Daniel Sheehan. Formally launched in 2023, NPI describes its mission as compelling “full and responsible” UAP disclosure and preparing society for what it expects could be confirmation of extraterrestrial contact.
Its work includes public campaigns, policy advocacy, research, litigation, educational material, grassroots organizing through Citizens for Disclosure, and legal assistance for whistleblowers. The institute has promoted congressional hearings, defended disclosure legislation, petitioned for international cooperation, and publicly challenged government accounts that it regards as incomplete. NPI’s structure joins the Romero Institute’s litigation experience with an explicitly disclosure-focused campaign. Chief counsel Danny Sheehan is a prominent public voice, while executive staff and volunteer chapters organize outreach. That combination enables the institute to move between court strategy, proposed legislation, public rallies, and direct assistance to people considering protected disclosures.
NPI begins from stronger conclusions about secrecy and non-human intelligence than many scientific or government bodies. That position is central to its advocacy and should be attributed to the institute rather than presented as an established finding. Legal experience and access to witnesses can generate important leads, but each historical or technical claim still requires its own documents, testimony, and corroboration.
The institute matters in the public record as an organized actor in the contemporary UAP disclosure movement. It links legal strategy, legislative pressure, public mobilization, and a specific interpretation of the phenomenon. Analysis should track what NPI actually files, publishes, or helps enact, while separating those outcomes from the broader worldview used to motivate them.
[Retweeted] The New Paradigm Institute is hosting a live event on October 18th for our Chicago-area residents! We will be screening the unreleased documentary film Anomalous by filmmaker Jeremy Sadowski, followed by a discussion and networking event. The film is an in-depth overview of path toward official Disclosure - it follows the major events and hearing from recent years, and is accompanied by commentary by our very own Danny Sheehan.
Part 2 of a series reassessing the documentary record behind the 1933 Magenta narrative. TL;DR Tier B papers: anonymous mailings from 1996, unauthenticated, not shown forged. If authentic, the telegram suppresses news of an “aircraft of unknown nature and origin”; no crash, recovery, occupants, or U.S. transfer. Forensics covers one 1936 manuscript; Vergiate dates to 1937; the July 1933 “cover story” depicts lightning. Later testimony postdates the printed narrative and adds no custody record...
The House passed the UAPDA. The Senate returned Sept 14 with weeks to act. The UAP Disclosure Act was first introduced in 2023 by Senators Schumer and Rounds. It passed the Senate as an NDAA amendment, but during conference with the House, the strongest provisions were gutted: the independent review board, subpoena power, eminent domain authority. All gone. Only a National Archives record collection survived. It was reintroduced in 2024 and 2025. Neither year resulted in enactment. This year,...

The U.S. House of Representatives passed its version of the FY 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, which would establish an independent process to review and disclose government records concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), commonly referred to as UFOs. Now the Senate must do its part. The UAPDA act is currently being processed by the US senate and New Paradigm Institute has set up a webpage where US citizens can contact their Senator to tell them to pass the UAPDA and why t...

[Retweeted] In 2023, the UAP Disclosure Act passed the Senate. Then conference stripped its teeth: the independent review board, subpoena power, gone. This year both chambers can send it to conference intact. That only happens if the Senate acts NOW. Tell your Senators to Pass the UAPDA in its current form. Use the link in the comments to take less than 1 minute to do so.
