Dr. Voss's Analysis
The UAP Disclosure Act, championed in part by Senator Chuck Schumer, sought to establish a presidentially appointed review board with authority to declassify UAP-related government records. While the original provisions were significantly amended before final passage in the FY2024 NDAA, the enacted language maintained requirements for agencies to review and transmit UAP records for potential public release. Critics noted the final version was substantially weaker than the original proposal.
