Congress Demands 46 Secret UAP Videos | Week of Apr 3
This Week's Lead Story
Pentagon Given Until April 14 to Hand Over 46 Classified UAP Videos
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Chair of the House Federal Secrets Task Force, sent a formal letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on March 31st demanding the Pentagon deliver 46 specific classified UAP video files by April 14, 2026 or face further congressional action.
The footage, described by whistleblowers who informed the Task Force, spans multiple years, platforms, and global locations. Notable clips include a 2022 recording of a four-UAP formation over Iran, a 2021 clip of an object performing an instantaneous acceleration in Syrian airspace, footage captured by a fifth-generation aircraft platform, and video from the 2023 Lake Huron shootdown incident. The objects range in shape from spherical to cigar-shaped to the now-familiar Tic Tac profile.
Luna's letter states that AARO, the Pentagon's congressionally mandated UAP office, has been "less than adequate" in responding to Task Force inquiries, and that the presence of UAPs near U.S. military installations represents a direct threat to force readiness and national security. The April 14th deadline is now the most concrete UAP declassification pressure point since the 2023 Schumer-Rounds amendment.

Legislative Watch
The UAP disclosure landscape remains active on multiple legislative fronts heading into spring.
Bills to Track: H.R. 1187 — UAP Transparency Act (119th Congress) - Requires the President to direct all federal agencies to declassify UAP-related records and publish them on agency websites. Currently in committee.
FY2026 NDAA UAP Provisions - The enacted defense bill mandates AARO provide Congress with briefings on UAP intercepts by NORTHCOM and NORAD since 2004, including number, location, nature of encounters, and protocols followed. Also streamlines reporting requirements across agencies feeding data to AARO.
Coming Up
What to watch for next week: - April 14, 2026 — Luna's deadline for the Pentagon to deliver 46 classified UAP videos. Watch for either compliance, a formal response, or escalation from the Task Force.
From the Archives
The Lake Huron shootdown on February 12, 2023 remains one of the most under-discussed incidents in recent UAP history. An object was engaged and downed by a U.S. F-16 over Lake Huron yet no wreckage was officially recovered, and no origin was ever publicly confirmed. That specific footage is reportedly among the 46 videos Luna is now demanding from the Pentagon.
Editor's Note
The April 14th deadline is the clearest near-term test of whether the current administration's stated commitment to UAP transparency will hold up under congressional pressure. If the Pentagon complies, we could be looking at the most significant public UAP video release in history. If it doesn't I'd expect Luna's Task Force to escalate.
