Florida congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has said additional classified files relating to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) could soon be released following renewed congressional efforts to review government records connected to unexplained sightings and military investigations.
Luna, who chairs the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, made the remarks during a recentFox News interviewafter an initial batch of documents and footage was released last week. She said the task force had requested more than 40 additional files from the Pentagon and expected to receive them within the coming weeks.
The Republican lawmaker also accused multiple federal agencies of delaying or obstructing disclosure efforts connected to UAP investigations. However, federal agencies including NASA and the Pentagon have repeatedly stated there is no confirmed evidence linking investigated sightings to extraterrestrial activity.
During the interview, Luna said the material released so far included military footage, aircraft observations and previously classified records connected to federal investigations. She rejected suggestions that the images were AI-generated, stating that many of the files contained official government redactions linked to military or law enforcement sources.
Luna said the task force had specifically requested additional Pentagon documents by name and expected further disclosures following discussions with defence officials.
As Chairwoman of the Task Force of the Declassification of Federal Secrets, we have been working overtime to bring declassification of all materials regarding UAP’s and disclosure yet we have been stonewalled by various bureaucratic agencies every step of the way.This release…pic.twitter.com/8DgZbRhlRh
In astatementposted on social media, Luna described the initial 'tranche' of records as 'a huge step in the right direction', adding that there would be 'much more to come'.
She also claimed lawmakers and whistleblowers had previously faced resistance when attempting to discuss or investigate the issue publicly. According to Luna, some officials feared professional consequences for speaking about classified programmes or sightings connected to military operations.
Luna accused what she described as 'bureaucratic agencies' of repeatedly blocking efforts to expand whistleblower protections and disclosure legislation related to UAP investigations. She said members of Congress had attempted several times to include UAP-related protections in bipartisan legislation but claimed those efforts were halted during the legislative process.
