The U.S. Department of Defense is facing criticism for missing an April 14, 2026 deadline to release requested Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) videos.

U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna had demanded the release of 46 military-recorded clips, some allegedly showing unidentified objects near war zones, bases, and sensitive airspace.

Lawmakers argue the footage could help assess potential national security risks, while supporters say it is essential for government transparency.

Luna accused the Pentagon of failing to properly respond, despite claims that President Donald Trump had ordered broader declassification of UAP-related files, the Daily Mail has reported.

The controversy has intensified public debate over government secrecy and unexplained aerial sightings involving military personnel and equipment.
