WHAT THE FORUM IS
The Disclosure Forum 2026 is an all-day event at the U.S. Capitol organized by the Disclosure Foundation, a nonprofit pressing for UAP transparency. Unlike a hearing or a rally, it is framed as a working forum: keynote addresses and panels bringing together policymakers, national-security officials, scientists, legal advocates for whistleblowers, and journalists to map a path forward rather than to argue a single case.
BEYOND PROOF, INTO PROCESS
Its organizers describe the goal as moving “beyond proof and into process” — past the question of whether anomalous objects are real and toward how a government discloses responsibly. The agenda reaches into national security, congressional oversight, technology, environmental policy, and the harder sociological and philosophical questions that follow if the phenomenon is taken seriously. It is, in short, about institutionalizing disclosure.
THE FORUM AND THE RECORD
The forum lands in the middle of an active disclosure cycle: the PURSUE program is releasing tranches of declassified UAP files, lawmakers are pushing the UAP Disclosure Act, and a bipartisan group rallied at the Capitol on June 9 just weeks earlier. The through-line across all of it is the primary record — the documents, footage, and testimony being unsealed. Umbra indexes and renders that record natively, so as the forum debates the path forward, you can read what has already been released.
