The United States Department of Defense is facing pressure to release dozens of classified videos showing unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), after a congressional deadline passed without disclosure. Anna Paulina Luna said the Pentagon did not meet an April 14, 2026 deadline to provide 46 recordings formally logged by military and intelligence agencies as 'unidentified'.
The request forms part of an ongoing investigation by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. In a letter to Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Luna described the lack of transparency around UAP incidents as 'troubling' and raised concerns about potential national security implications. The Pentagon has not publicly explained why the deadline was missed but has indicated that some material may instead be reviewed in closed briefings.
