Disclosure Foundation Holds 300-Person UAP Forum on Capitol Hill as 84% Seek More Government Disclosure
1 articles · Updated · TIME · Aug 6
Summary
June 25’s daylong forum in the Senate’s Kennedy Caucus Room brought lawmakers, scientists and former intelligence officials together to press for more serious UAP scrutiny and public disclosure.
84% of respondents in a Disclosure Foundation poll wanted more government information, 69% said UAPs are real, and only 21% trusted the federal government to be telling the full truth.
Security concerns dominated the event, with speakers citing repeated military encounters — including Ryan Graves’ reports of 3 to 6 objects off Virginia Beach and Langley incursions that lasted 17 nights in 2024.
The forum builds on a broader U.S. shift: Trump has released more than 450 historical reports since May 8, while AARO, congressional hearings and a White House science council have expanded official attention.
Even with rising political and public interest, officials and scientists remain split between advanced foreign technology, misidentification and the far more consequential possibility of extraterrestrial origin.
