Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and a bipartisan group of five other senators introduced groundbreaking legislation on July 13, proposing that the U.S. government or private contractors may possess recovered UFOs and “biological evidence of living or deceased non-human intelligence” in a covert manner.

The legislation provides a definition for “non-human intelligence” as “any sentient intelligent non-human lifeform, regardless of nature or ultimate origin which may be presumed responsible for” UFOs.

This remarkable language is not included lightly in bipartisan congressional legislation, especially considering it comes from the Senate’s top lawmaker, The Hill has reported.

The legislation was prompted by the 2017 disclosure of a previously undisclosed government UFO analysis program, which spurred a broader congressional investigation into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), the new terminology for UFOs used by the government.

During the ongoing investigation, a multitude of individuals and groups claiming knowledge of secret UAP-related programs and information were identified.

This prompted some members of Congress to suspect that the U.S. government had been concealing significant information about UAPs for extended periods of time.

Additionally, credible evidence and testimony indicated the existence of Federal Government UFO records that have not been declassified as required by law, as stated in the legislation.

In response, Schumer’s legislation proposes the establishment of an independent nine-member agency tasked with collecting, reviewing, and declassifying UAP records.

If the law passes in its current form, it would require that all government UFO documents carry a presumption of immediate public disclosure.
