UAP Transparency Act
HR 1187, the UAP Transparency Act, requires federal agencies to declassify and publish on public websites all documents related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) within 270 days of the bill's enactment. This directly affects all federal departments and agencies holding such records, making them accessible to the public. The bill also mandates quarterly reports to Congress on implementation progress, starting 360 days after enactment. It defines UAPs using the existing legal definition from the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act. The law focuses solely on increasing transparency around government-held UAP information, with no additional policy provisions.
