America’s historic UFO bill crash lands: Law that would’ve forced government to hand over records of mystery craft loses key parts as Congress passes it

US lawmakers were furious on the Senate floor after Congress stripped two important provisions from the upcoming UAP disclosure law.

The legislation was passed Thursday along with the annual defense spending bill that aims to require the government to disclose records related to “technologies of unknown origin and non-human intelligence.”

However, Congress pulled the plug on the review board to do so Review each case and give the federal government “imminent domain” rights to seize any and all recovered “non-human technology” currently owned by private entities such as defense contractors.

The changes will also mean that the Pentagon and US intelligence agencies can determine for themselves what information has been revealed about these mysterious sightings and what has been kept secret from ordinary Americans and Congress.

We were robbed. We've got the hose completely covered. “They stripped away every part,” said Rep. Tim Burchett, one of the lawmakers behind the law.

The Unspecified Anomaly Phenomena (UAP) Detection Act of 2023 passed the Senate in July but needs full congressional approval to be part of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

President Joe Biden is expected to sign this provision into law Any records not officially disclosed must be made public within 25 years of their creation unless the president determines they must remain classified for national security reasons.

Although the amendment was greenlit, it did not remain as initially written.

In addition to repealing parts of the law, Congress added a laundry list of exemptions to disclosure of records.

The government can hide information if it deems it poses a threat to national defense National intelligence or federal agents, or how to collect intelligence.

The amendment now states that the Department of Defense has ordered the declassification of “records relating to publicly known sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena that do not reveal sources or methods or endanger the national security of the United States.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (left) and Rep. Tim Burchett (right) defended the bill, which aims to bring transparency about what the government knows about mysterious sightings.

said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who sponsored the bill New York times“It is truly infuriating that the House has not worked with us on adopting our review board proposal.

“This means that declassification of UAP records will largely fall to the same entities that have prevented and concealed their disclosure for decades.”

the The original text of the bill stated that President Joe Biden would have 90 days to appoint a nine-person review board responsible for investigating each record and determining whether they are considered UAPs that should be disclosed to the public.

Any government agency in possession of such records must turn over print and digital copies to the council, which has 180 days to investigate and 14 days to publish its findings.

Schumer spoke before the Senate before the final vote to criticize Republicans for backing away from the legislation.

Capital Hill was abuzz with rumors that several Republican House representatives were working in the shadows to block the bill.

Speaking on December 5, Schumer said Republicans were trying to “kill commonsense and partisan action” and prevent Americans from accessing records on a topic of “deep curiosity.”

“The measure I advocated with Sen. (Mike) Rounds would create a board, just as we did with the (John F. Kennedy) assassination records, to work through the declassification of many government records on UAPs,” he said earlier this month.

“This model has been a great success for decades.”

“It should be used again with UAPs, but once again, House Republicans are ready to kill this bipartisan provision.”

“What they were doing was they were going straight to the Senate Intelligence Committee,” Sheehan told DailyMail.com that month, in the wake of then-breaking news of Pentagon UFO chief Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick's retirement plans.

“We know they don't want to join Sean's AARO group until the issue of who will replace him is resolved,” Sheehan said.

Beck on Capitol Hill It's not known why House Republicans are working against the legislation — but some speculate it's because the executive branch is hiding vital information related to UFOs, extending over a long period of time.

But it appears that Schumer's predictions were not wrong.

Mike Turner (R-Ohio), Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Los Angeles) are said to be among those Those who paid back on the bill.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on his Channel

Later, Speaker Carlson criticized Johnson and McConnell for being among those looking to “shut down (the bill).”

David Grosch, a former high-ranking intelligence official who testified under oath about his experiences with UAPs, also named Rogers and Turner during a recent interview on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

“Why block the bill?” And it wouldn't cost a lot, a few million a year max, you know, for the board, which is like steamrolling in US government speak, right? Grosh said during the podcast.

Schumer's design is intended to give the president more authority over what has been declassified, but now that authority falls to individual government entities, military branches and intelligence agencies.

“We lack oversight opportunities, and we are not fulfilling our responsibilities,” Rounds said.
