AI Summary
This bill requires the U.S. President to direct all federal departments and agencies to declassify and publicly release any documents, reports, or records related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) within 270 days of the act's enactment. UAP, previously known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), is defined according to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 as objects or phenomena that cannot be immediately identified or explained. The bill mandates that these documents be made available on each agency's public website, ensuring transparency about potential unexplained aerial or technological encounters. Additionally, the President must submit quarterly reports to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, detailing the progress of document declassification and release across different federal departments. The bill aims to provide the public with comprehensive information about UAP that has previously been kept confidential, potentially shedding light on mysterious aerial incidents and government investigations.
