WHAT THE ACT DOES
At its core, the UAP Disclosure Act directs the President to order each federal agency to identify, declassify, and release all records related to UAP — and to make them available on a public agency website rather than burying them behind individual FOIA requests. It builds on the records provisions Congress wrote into recent defense bills, which already require the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office to brief lawmakers and to surface intercepts dating back to 2004. The throughline is simple: move the record from "request it one page at a time" to "publish it."
JUNE 9, 2026 — THE CAPITOL PUSH
On June 9, 2026, David Grusch stood on the steps of the U.S. Capitol alongside a bipartisan group of representatives — Eric Burlison, Jared Moskowitz, Anna Paulina Luna, and Tim Burchett — to press for full passage and enforcement of the Act. Investigative journalist Leslie Kean and documentary filmmaker James Fox helped host the event. It followed a presidential declassification directive earlier in 2026 that launched the PURSUE release, after which government-released UAP records drew over a billion views worldwide. The rally's message was that disclosure had started but was not finished. Two weeks later, at the June 25, 2026 Disclosure Forum in the Senate's Kennedy Caucus Room, Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) pledged to revive the Act — including whistleblower protections — keeping the legislation alive heading into the next session.
WHERE THE RECORD LIVES
The Act's whole point is a readable public record — and that record is PURSUE, published in tranches at war.gov. War.gov posts the raw files; Umbra indexes every release by agency, type, date, and location and renders it natively on iPhone, with a push the moment a new tranche drops. As the Act forces more out into the open, Umbra is where you read it.
