The UAP Disclosure Act is a recurring federal legislative proposal for records collection, independent review, controlled disclosure, and government custody of UAP material.
The UAP Disclosure Act is a legislative proposal first introduced in 2023 by Senate leaders including Chuck Schumer and Mike Rounds as an amendment to the annual defense authorization bill. Modeled partly on the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, it proposed a government-wide UAP records collection, an independent review board, a presumption of disclosure, and authorities addressing alleged technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence.
Congress enacted a narrower records-collection framework but removed major provisions, including the independent board and eminent-domain language. Revised versions have returned in later authorization debates. The proposal is not an agency or advocacy organization despite this record’s entity type; it is a changing legislative instrument whose operative effect depends on the exact text enacted in a given year.
UAPDA is central to UAP legislation because it attempts to solve fragmented custody and classification through a structured review process. Supporters argue that ordinary FOIA mechanisms and agency self-review are inadequate for alleged legacy programs. Critics raise constitutional, property, cost, security, and definitional questions. The bill’s references to extraordinary possibilities define records to search for; they do not constitute a congressional finding that such material exists.
Its institutional significance is the translation of disclosure claims into records law, deadlines, reporting duties, and review authorities. Analysis must distinguish introduced language, amended text, enacted provisions, and later implementation. The most important measure is what records reach the National Archives and public under enforceable law, not what an unenacted draft proposed. Successive versions should also be treated as related but nonidentical proposals: a removed review board, changed definition, or altered disclosure standard can transform the law’s practical effect. Linking each claim to the relevant bill version prevents advocacy shorthand from substituting for statutory analysis. The enacted UAP records collection supplies the measurable baseline.
[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.

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, Rep.
