Democrats to Form UFO Caucus if Win House

Live Poll

Do you trust the federal government to be transparent about UFO investigations?

Democratic lawmakers are preparing to establish their own UFO caucus and select committee if they take House control in the midterm elections, replacing the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. Rep. Andre Carson has called for immediate release of a historical Department of Defense UAP report that the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office has delayed for nearly two years.

Why it matters

Democrats accuse the Republican and Trump administration of failing to deliver on promises of greater transparency, and say the administration has slow-walked several statutory requirements Congress set for UAP disclosure. The dispute would shape how federal unidentified-anomaly records are handled across the United States if control of the House changes.

The historical report is delayed nearly two years past its expected release, and Carson chaired Congress' first UFO hearing in 2022. The file in question and the missed statutory deadline have not been publicly identified.

The players

Andre Carson

A Democratic congressman from Indiana who chaired Congress' first UFO hearing in 2022 and is pressing for release of the delayed UAP report.

Anna Paulina Luna

A Republican congresswoman from Florida who leads the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets that the planned Democratic effort would replace.

All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office

A Department of Defense office created to collect, analyze and resolve reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena, which has delayed the historical report.

The details

Democrats would create a UFO caucus and select committee to effectively replace the existing Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets if they win House control. Carson's office has pressed for the immediate release of the delayed All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office report, which is expected to add findings from historical military and intelligence investigations of UAP.

Nearly two years: the historical UAP report has been delayed.
2022: Carson chaired Congress' first UFO hearing.
Sept. 30: Former official David Grusch urged quick disclosure on a podcast appearance.
Midterm elections: Democrats could gain House control and form the caucus.

Roadmap

The dispute follows Congress' 2022 hearing and the statutory disclosure requirements that the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office was meant to satisfy. It signals that UFO transparency is becoming a partisan oversight issue tied to control of the House.

Whether the caucus forms depends on the midterm elections, so the outcome could change how UFO records are reviewed and released. Readers following the topic should watch whether the historical report is published before those results.

The takeaway

Congressional control can determine whether long-delayed federal records on unidentified aerial phenomena are released. Tracking committee assignments after the midterms will show whether the transparency promises move forward.
