Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act of 2026 (Senate Amendment 6344)

The amendment, submitted by Senators Schumer and Rounds to the FY2027 NDAA, cites findings that all federal records related to unidentified anomalous phenomena should be preserved, centralized, and disclosed to inform the public about the government's knowledge and involvement. It defines terms including technologies of unknown origin and non-human intelligence. The Act directs the Archivist to establish the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection within 60 days, requires government offices to review, identify, and transmit records for public disclosure with a presumption of immediate release, and limits postponement only to cases of clear and convincing evidence of harm to defense, intelligence, foreign relations, privacy, or other specified criteria. The purposes include creating an organized process for expeditious public transmission and disclosure of such records.
