André Carson is a U.S. representative from Indiana and former House Intelligence subcommittee chair who led Congress’s first open UAP hearing in more than fifty years.
André Carson is an American politician who has represented Indiana’s 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House since 2008. Before entering Congress, he worked in law enforcement and homeland-security roles in Indiana. He later joined the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where his assignments gave him a direct role in oversight of intelligence agencies and national-security programs.
Carson’s political career developed through Indianapolis public service and a special election following the death of his grandmother, Representative Julia Carson. He became one of the first Muslim members of Congress and built seniority across intelligence, transportation, and homeland-security work. That background matters to his UAP role because he approached the subject as a sitting overseer accustomed to classified programs, agency jurisdiction, and the practical consequences of weak reporting systems.
As chair of the intelligence committee’s Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation Subcommittee, Carson opened the May 2022 hearing on unidentified aerial phenomena. It was the first open congressional hearing devoted to the subject in more than half a century. Carson framed the issue around flight safety, intelligence collection, adversary technology, and the stigma that had discouraged service members from reporting observations.
Carson helped move UAP oversight from occasional classified briefings into a public legislative record. He supported standardized reporting, improved collection, and clearer accountability for the offices assigned to military incidents. By chairing the 2022 congressional hearing, he compelled defense and intelligence officials to describe what they were collecting, what remained unresolved, and how lawmakers would be informed. The hearing also gave future lawmakers a public precedent for questioning the government’s investigative offices.
Now that Democrats control the House, they plan to deliver UFO disclosure - Indiana Democrat Andre Carson is leading the push, arguing that disclosure is too slow under the Republicans, especially given that Congress now has the appropriate channels for whistleblowers to step forward.
Rep. Andre Carson: “I’m calling for the immediate release of [AARO's Historical UAP Record Report], which is expected to provide additional findings of historical military and intelligence investigations of UAP, including how incidents were investigated, the role of classified programs, and whether relevant activities were appropriately disclosed to Congress.” What's in the report? https://t.co/cf8xpdvZzW
[Retweeted] In 2022, @timburchett / @RepTimBurchett was the ONLY Republican Representative visible in the audience at the House UAPTF hearing held by @RepAndreCarson and now @SenAdamSchiff. UFO / NHI Disclosure is BIPARTISAN. I have no doubt Tim will be working across the aisle in a Democratic led effort to: • increase whistleblower protections • expose the Executive Branch coverup • Hold the DOW, ODNI, CIA, Air Force, NASIC, DOE accountable to existing laws.

Rep. Andre Carson says a key historical UAP report from the Pentagon's UFO office (AARO) has been delayed for almost two years. Carson said that the report includes details on "how [UAP] incidents were investigated, the role of classified programs, and whether relevant activities were appropriately disclosed to Congress." https://t.co/0aC4Kdh0DC

If your representative has kept their seat and has been vocal about disclosure, take the time right now to write them to encourage them to continue and thank them! Whether you have a new representative or not, please take the time right now to write your reps. Tell them to make the UAP issue and disclosure a priority! But especially if you have a new rep, write them! This is the upcoming bill for 2027 to watch: https://burlison.house.gov/media/press-releases/ house-adopts-burlison-amendment-e...
