Ask Your Members of Congress to Sign the UAP Transparency Pledge For decades, the American people have been told little to nothing about UFOs, or what is now commonly referred to as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). At the same time, Congress itself has often struggled to get complete answers from the Executive Branch. The American people deserve a government that is honest with Congress, accountable to the Constitution, and committed to lawful transparency regarding UFOs, or what is now commonly referred to as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). For too long, critical questions surrounding UAP and related government activity have been met with secrecy, incomplete disclosure, and weak institutional accountability. Congress has held hearings, and lawmakers from both parties have pushed for greater transparency. Yet, the public still does not have confidence that the full truth is being shared with elected representatives or responsibly disclosed to the American people. That is why the New Paradigm Institute has launched the UAP Transparency Pledge: a public commitment for members of Congress to support stronger congressional oversight and full disclosure to Congress regarding UAP-related information, while protecting only legitimate national security interests. Take Action, Today! ⬇️

In a recent podcast interview with @duncantrussell, I reflect on my legal work in landmark cases like the Pentagon Papers and Watergate. I explore what those experiences reveal about the ongoing struggle for government transparency and public trust. Our conversation covers how misconduct by our nation’s various leaders is causing a growing skepticism toward institutions. youtube.com/watch?v=IYqxiJ…

The Pledge That Could Change 2026 — Be Part of It! We’re launching something bold — and time-sensitive. Across all 50 states, in 468 Congressional races in 2026, we’re mobilizing a national campaign to secure commitments from federal candidates to support UFO/UAP transparency, accountability, and disclosure. This only works if we scale now. Public trust in government is declining across party lines. People are demanding stronger adherence to democratic principles and oversight. This campaign meets that moment with a clear, nonpartisan path forward. We’re asking candidates — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — to take a public stand for open governance by signing the UFO/UAP Transparency Pledge. It puts them on record to strengthen congressional oversight, ensure full disclosure of UAP-related information to Congress, protect whistleblowers, preserve critical records, and support a responsible path to public disclosure. The pledge is grounded in advancing lawful transparency while protecting legitimate national security interests. NPI’s organizing is already underway in 34 states, powered by our growing network of grassroots volunteers — Citizens for Disclosure. We’re training activists, building media visibility, and communicating with candidates for public office. We’ll have more content to share soon about this campaign, including online tools you can spread to your networks. Your support at this early stage is what determines whether this becomes a defining national movement. Together we can make transparency and disclosure unavoidable in 2026. Join us. Please contribute as much as you can to the success of this pivotal campaign! Link in the comments section ⬇️

New Developments Regarding The Majestic 12 Documents The Majestic 12 documents remain among the most debated materials in UFO/UAP history. First made public in the 1980s, these alleged classified papers claim that President Harry Truman authorized the creation of a secret oversight committee in 1947 to manage the recovery and study of extraterrestrial technology following the Roswell incident. According to the documents, this committee, referred to as Majestic 12, oversaw the retrieval of crashed craft and biological entities and supervised long-term reverse engineering efforts within deeply compartmentalized Special Access Programs. The papers list prominent figures such as James Forrestal, Vannevar Bush, Allen Dulles, and Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter as being among the group’s alleged members. The documents surfaced in 1984 when television producer Jaime Shandera received an undeveloped film anonymously containing photographs of briefing papers. Working with researcher William Moore and physicist Stanton Friedman, the materials were analyzed and publicly announced in 1987. Both the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and later the FBI reviewed the documents and concluded they were likely fabricated, citing formatting inconsistencies, classification anomalies, chronological errors, and signature irregularities. For decades, the UFO research community has remained divided over their authenticity. Now, a researcher going by the name MJ12 Logic reports a new data point. In a recent Substack article, he claims that certain document identifiers appearing on Majestic papers match routing and registry numbers found in recently declassified CIA files on Operation Paperclip accessed through the agency’s FOIA portal. While this discovery does not confirm that Majestic 12 was a genuine operating committee, it does raise fresh questions about whether the documents can be dismissed as a simple 1980s hoax.

Protect UAP Whistleblowers No one should be silenced for telling the truth—especially those who risk their careers, reputations, and personal safety to report what they know about UFOs/UAP and related government programs. Across three years and multiple hearings, the message has been consistent: Current whistleblower protections are failing in practice. As a result, dozens of additional individuals with firsthand knowledge of UAP programs remain silent—not because they lack information, but because they lack protection. Enough is enough. The New Paradigm Institute has drafted the Enhanced UAP Whistleblower Protection Act of 2026 to close enforcement gaps, prohibit retaliation, and ensure safe, lawful testimony before Congress. Contact your members of Congress today! Tell them to protect whistleblowers, uphold oversight, and defend the public’s right to know. ⬇️

Four days after @POTUS told the Pentagon to release its UFO files, I flew with @SecWar to Colorado — and asked him if he's actually going to do it. This is the full video. Also featured on this leg of the Arsenal of Freedom tour: @Buckley_SFB @The_TrueAnomaly @SierraSpaceCo

President Trump’s UFOs/UAP Vow: What Happens Next As we reported last week, @POTUS has publicly declared on social media his intent to direct the heads of Executive Branch Agencies “to begin the process of identifying and disclosing" UFO/UAP files of these United States Executive Branch Agencies. In response, we’ve created a call to action so you can encourage the President to follow through on this public commitment by issuing a binding Executive Order. This is a pivotal moment (thanks to all of you who have taken our call to action already!). It’s important that President Trump and his administration clearly understand how significant the UFO/UAP issue is to the American people. Encouragingly, the President’s comments have already generated reactions within both the Cabinet and Congress. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, currently led by @DNIGabbard, has issued a statement expressing support for the declassification of UFO/UAP records. Secretary of War @PeteHegseth was asked by former Fox News White House Correspondent @KristinFisher whether he is prepared to implement the President’s directive. His response was direct. “Of course. We have people working on it right now.” @RepLuna of Florida, who leads the Taskforce on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, has also indicated that updates to the National Archives are forthcoming. However, as of this writing, the National Archives page for Records Related to Unidentified Flying Objects and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena has not been updated since April 2025. Momentum is building, but public engagement remains essential. We encourage you to participate in our call to action if you haven’t already and to share it widely with friends, family, and colleagues. Continued, visible public pressure will help ensure that this promise results in meaningful transparency. TAKE ACTION TODAY! Link in the comments section ⬇️

Send Letter to @POTUS - Demand UFO/UAP Disclosure ufos.pro/trump-uap-x @NewParadigmInst

ACTION ALERT! 📩⚠️🏛️ @POTUS just vowed to release all UFO/UAP files Your activism is needed right now. Trump has just vowed to release all UFO/UAP related information held by the federal government. With one click, you can send a letter thanking him for his commitment, and urging him to issue a binding Executive Order that ensures real, comprehensive disclosure. Here’s the backstory: Last week, we reported on President Obama’s statement that aliens are real and how this comment sent shockwaves through the media. A few days later, while aboard Air Force One, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked President Trump about Obama’s “aliens are real” remarks. President Trump responded: “He gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that.” Doocy then noted that a president can declassify anything he wants to. Trump responded: “Maybe I’ll get him out of trouble. I may get him out of trouble by declassifying.” That statement ignited even more public interest. Then, hours later, President Trump posted the following on Truth Social: “Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)...” Let’s be clear: This is significant. This is not the moment to sit back. This is the moment to act. That’s why we’ve launched a new call to action below. Take our Call To Action Send a letter thanking the President and urging him to issue an Executive Order that follows through on his social media post. The letter to the @WhiteHouse we’re asking you to sign calls for: • Immediate, government-wide searches for UAP-related records • Transfer of all materials to the National Archives’ UAP Records Collection • Clear definitions and uniform standards across agencies • Binding timelines and Congressional oversight • Regular public reporting and accountability for noncompliance • Congress has already created the legal framework. What’s needed now is decisive executive leadership to make sure agencies fully comply. This is a respectful, constructive message — one that supports transparency, restores public trust, and strengthens the rule of law. Add your name and send the letter today!

A Note of Support for Nick Pope We want to take a moment to acknowledge @nickpopemod and send our heartfelt support to him and his family during his current battle with cancer. Nick is well known in the UFO research community for his work at the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence, where he investigated UFO reports and helped bring serious governmental attention to the subject. Since leaving the MOD, he has become one of the most credible and measured public voices on UFOs/UAP, contributing thoughtful analysis through books, media appearances, and international conferences. Nick has long worked to move this issue out of the realm of ridicule and into responsible public dialogue. Our positive energy, strength, and prayers are with him and his loved ones during this challenging time. With love, New Paradigm Institute Team

New Military UFO/UAP Footage Emerges Last week, @JeremyCorbell and George Knapp (@g_knapp) released striking new footage on their Weaponized podcast, allegedly showing a UFO/UAP tracked by a U.S. military MQ-9 Reaper drone over Syria. In the video, the object appears to recognize the drone’s lock, executes an evasive maneuver, breaks tracking, and departs at extraordinary speed. Corbell and Knapp have a well-established record of responsibly publishing authenticated military-sourced material, and this release is consistent with that reputation. The recent episode also features analysis by UFO/UAP researcher and commentator Marik von Rennenkampff (@MvonRen), who offers clear and grounded insight into what the footage shows. His assessment highlights maneuvering characteristics that appear to exceed known aerodynamic or propulsion capabilities, perhaps demonstrating one of the five classic observables concerning authentic UAP: instantaneous acceleration. This is a significant data point in the growing body of credible military encounters with UFOs/UAP. We encourage you to watch the full episode to better understand the footage, the analysis, and why this release matters ⬇️

Join Danny Sheehan at Conscious Life Expo in Los Angeles Los Angeles friends and colleagues, we're looking forward to connecting with many of you in person at this year’s @ConsciousLifeLA, taking place February 20-23 at the Hilton near LAX. @danielsheehan45 will be presenting two in-depth sessions focused on the legal, ethical, and civic implications of UFO disclosure. Danny's primary workshop, UFO Disclosure and Its Criminal Implications, will examine the expanding legal record surrounding the Legacy Crash Retrieval Program and why decades of unlawful secrecy may expose its leadership to serious criminal liability. Danny will also address why full disclosure may ultimately require congressionally authorized immunity in exchange for sworn public testimony. In addition, Danny will lead a post-conference intensive titled The Implications of Disclosure: An Active Discussion. This session will closely examine what more than two dozen UFO whistleblowers have already disclosed to Congress under oath, and what those statements mean for law, policy, and the future of democratic oversight. If you plan to attend the Conscious Life Expo, we encourage you to register for Danny's talks specifically via the affiliate links below: UFO Disclosure and its Criminal Implications bit.ly/3ZjpuMY The Implications of Disclosure: an Active Discussion bit.ly/4r5N4Ji A portion of each registration directly supports the ongoing work of the New Paradigm Institute and the @RomeroInstitute as we continue advancing UFO/UAP transparency, accountability, and responsible disclosure. We hope to see many of you there!

Updates from The New Paradigm Institute: Rep. Eric Burlison Calls for Passage of the UAP Disclosure Act Courtesy of the WOW! Signal News (@TheHDAlliance) thewowsignal.news/latest-news/up… On January 20, investigative filmmaker @jamescfox hosted a significant UFO/UAP press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. The event brought together firsthand witnesses, medical experts, government officials, and U.S. insiders to present new information on alleged encounters with non-human intelligence in the Varginha, Brazil case. A replay of the full event is now available to watch. During the press conference, @RepEricBurlison (@EricBurlison) (R-MO) delivered a clear and urgent message. He called for passage of the UAP Disclosure Act, stronger whistleblower protections, and sustained pressure from journalists and citizens to compel accountability from Congress. As Rep. Burlison put it, “I’m asking you to act and push on members of Congress because otherwise they won’t do anything about it.” The New Paradigm Institute strongly supports Congressman Burlison’s leadership on disclosure. US AIR FORCE UFO REVERSE ENGINEERING PROGRAMS For decades, much of what we know about UFOs and UAP has come from rigorous civilian research. Figures such as Stanton T. Friedman, who first brought serious attention to the Roswell case, Jacques Vallée with his global UFO/UAP databases, and Richard Dolan (@I_D_Official) through his deep archival work on national security aspects, have helped establish a serious UAP research tradition. And investigative journalists, including @lesliekean and @rosscoulthart, have furthered that legacy by applying professional standards to a topic long dismissed by the mainstream. What unites these researchers is not authority proffered by institutions, but the quality, depth, and consistency of their work. Within that tradition of citizen investigation, a newer researcher known as @UAPGERB is standing out. We’ve highlighted his work before, and his latest output, The Hidden Wing: US Air Force UFO Reverse Engineering Programs, is particularly strong. The episode offers a detailed, carefully sourced examination of how potential UFO/UAP reverse-engineering efforts may be siloed within the Air Force and its associated organizations. For readers seeking a serious, methodical analysis of this subject, this new video is essential viewing. youtube.com/watch?v=-IXSZe… THE LATEST UFO/UAP REPORTING Several new pieces of reporting are worth our attention, as they add important context to recent whistleblower claims and raise fresh questions about long-standing secrecy. First, @LiberationTimes, founded by @ChrisUKSharp, has published a detailed article titled New Allegations Link Former National Intelligence Leaders Clapper and O’Sullivan to UFO Shoot Down and Retrieval Program. The article expands on statements made by David Grusch during his recent interview with Megyn Kelly, examining allegations that former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper played a role in UFO/UAP-related programs within the ODNI. The article also identifies Stephanie O’Sullivan as another senior intelligence figure connected to the same effort. In other UFO/UAP news, former intelligence officer @LueElizondo shared a recent article exploring claims that Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, commonly known as Pax River, may have housed an exotic vehicle of unknown origin since as early as the 1950s. The report raises significant questions about long-term storage and study of unconventional technology within the U.S. military system. You can read the full article here. Finally, John Greenewald of @theblackvault has obtained a new FOIA response identifying who attended the Department of Defense and @DoD_AARO meetings held prior to the release of the AARO Historical Report Volume One. As Greenewald notes, the attendee list only deepens concerns about transparency and oversight, and leaves key questions unanswered.
