UAP Disclosure Act of 2024 (Rounds-Schumer Amendment)

The Act finds that all federal UAP records should be preserved, centralized, and disclosed to inform the public about government knowledge and involvement. It defines broad categories of records related to unidentified anomalous phenomena, technologies of unknown origin, and non-human intelligence. A nine-member independent Review Board would review, transmit, and oversee public disclosure of records to the National Archives, with limited grounds for postponement (e.g., identifiable harm to intelligence sources/methods or privacy). It directs government offices to identify and transmit records and includes mechanisms for eminent domain over recovered non-human technologies or biologics in private hands. The legislation aims to prevent destruction of records and ensure transparency while balancing national security. Earlier versions were modified; this 2024 reintroduction sought to strengthen disclosure requirements.
