Congress passed legislation on Thursday that directs the government to ‘eventually’ tell the public what they know about UFOs, but that’s not the full story.
Earlier this year, Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, introduced a UFO transparency bill on the heels of testimony given to Congress by the retired air force officer and whistleblower David Grusch.
While the government is now expected to at some point reveal some information, some are disappointed by the decision that there will not be a massive amount of confidential info revealed to the public.

Under the provision, which President Joe Biden is expected to sign into law, any records not already officially disclosed must be made public within 25 years of their creation.
While pressure from the public will suggest it will be revealed sooner rather than later, the government does legally have 25 years to share the info. Plus, anything Biden (or any future president) deems too sensitive to be released, will not be shared.
“It is really an outrage the House didn’t work with us on adopting our proposal for a review board,” Mr. Schumer said, according to the New York Times. “It means that declassification of U.A.P. records will be largely up to the same entities that have blocked and obfuscated their disclosure for decades.”
Grusch, who made the claims that the US government knows far more than it has revealed about UFOs, also claimed that ‘ten aliens’ have been captured by humans.
