The Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets is a panel of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Committee chairman James Comer announced it on February 11, 2025, and named Representative Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican, as its chair. The House Oversight Committee said the task force would "examine the declassification of materials in the public interest" and presented it as a follow-up to President Donald Trump's January 23, 2025, executive order on records about the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Luna said it would also investigate "UAPs/USOs, the Epstein client list, COVID-19 origins, and the 9/11 files." The committee said the panel was authorized for six months under its rules.

The committee lists Luna's Republican colleagues on the task force as Nancy Mace, Tim Burchett, Lauren Boebert, Eric Burlison, Eli Crane and Brandon Gill. Jasmine Crockett is the ranking member, alongside fellow Democrats Stephen Lynch, Raja Krishnamoorthi and Dave Min. The panel's first hearing, on April 1, 2025, took up the JFK files, with filmmaker Oliver Stone, journalist Jefferson Morley and researcher James DiEugenio as witnesses.

Its UAP hearing followed on September 9, 2025. Titled "Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection," the September 2025 session heard from Air Force veterans Jeffrey Nuccetelli and Dylan Borland, active-duty Navy Chief Alexandro Wiggins and journalist George Knapp. According to the committee's summary, members examined transparency at the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and across the intelligence community, along with protections for people who report UAP. Wiggins called such encounters "first and foremost a safety issue," and Knapp suggested following UAP-related funds and materials, possibly to private contractors.

The task force carried that inquiry into 2026. In a letter dated March 31, Luna cited the September hearing and asked Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to deliver 46 numbered UAP video files by April 14. The list runs from a 2021 clip titled "Syrian UAP instant acceleration" to a Coast Guard C-144 recording of a "Tic Tac" object from April 2024, and includes an entry describing an Air National Guard F-16 shooting down a UAP over Lake Huron with an AIM-9X missile on February 12, 2023. Many entries carry only a callsign and a date, among them a run of 2020 observations credited to aircraft using the callsigns Toxic 6 and Hackney 6.

Although it was announced with a six-month authorization, the task force was still holding hearings in mid-2026. On June 30 it examined the CIA's MKULTRA program, hearing from Brown University senior fellow Stephen Kinzer, journalist Tom O'Neill, author of Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties, and former National Institutes of Health program director Elizabeth Ginexi, the minority's witness. That range of subjects, from assassination records and Cold War mind-control experiments to recent military footage, defines the panel. It has given Luna's declassification agenda the formal tools of a House committee, public hearings and written demands for records, and placed UAP alongside older disputes over government secrecy.
