Democrats Plan Their Own UFO Committee if They Win the House
The plan also includes an informal caucus of lawmakers. Meanwhile, André Carson is demanding the release of a report he says has been delayed for nearly two years.
Democrats plan to form their own UFO caucus and committee, replacing the Republican-led task force, if they win a majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. Meanwhile, Carson is calling for the release of a long-delayed historical report, and David Grusch warns that time is running out.
Democrats are preparing to take the lead on UFO disclosure, challenging the Republicans and the Trump administration. One House leader told the New York Post that Democrats will argue the administration has dragged its feet on promises of transparency.
According to the source, the plan is to form an informal UFO caucus of lawmakers and create a committee of their own to replace the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, chaired by Republican Anna Paulina Luna of Florida. The plan will move forward only if Democrats win a majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. Republicans fear Democrats will take credit for an achievement that might otherwise have been attributed to the administration.
What’s Being Delayed
André Carson, a Democrat from Indiana who chaired Congress’s first UFO hearing in 2022, is demanding the immediate release of a historical report. The report is supposed to go to the Pentagon office that studies unidentified anomalous phenomena, which would then publish it. Carson says it has been delayed for nearly two years. It is expected to detail military and intelligence investigations conducted over decades and examine whether classified programs were kept from Congress.
Carson’s office did not say which report he is seeking, what its legal publication deadline is, or where it is now. Without those details, it is impossible to determine how long it has actually been delayed.
What Grusch Says
David Grusch, a former member of the intelligence community who became a UFO whistleblower, said on the Joe Rogan podcast on September 30 that disclosure must happen before Trump leaves office. “I just don’t trust another president to continue the president’s directive,” he said.
