US Congress Gives , Government Authority to Keep , UFO Information Secret.<br />'The Guardian' reports that if the truth about <br />UFOs really is out there, the United States<br />government isn't ready to talk about it yet.<br />'The Guardian' reports that if the truth about <br />UFOs really is out there, the United States<br />government isn't ready to talk about it yet.<br />Despite promises of more transparency, <br />Congress has acted to control the flow of <br />information that is made public regarding UFOs.<br />On December 14, Congress stripped measures <br />regarding UFO records from a massive defense <br />policy bill signed into law with bipartisan support.<br />Those measures would have created a presidential <br />commission to review records of UFO incidents.<br />It also would have ordered the <br />Department of Defense to declassify , "records relating to publicly known sightings <br />of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP).".<br />'The Guardian' reports that provisions were included in the <br />bill that ordered the National Archives to collect reports of , "UAPs, technologies of unknown <br />origin and nonhuman intelligence.".<br />However, the provisions also grant various government <br />departments the authority to keep those records secret.<br />It means that declassification <br />of UAP records will be largely <br />up to the same entities that <br />have blocked and obfuscated <br />their disclosure for decades, Chuck Schumer, Democratic Senate leader, via 'The Guardian'.<br />The legislation comes following whistleblower <br />claims that the government knows <br />more about UFOs than it is willing to admit.<br />Those claims also accuse the government of <br />withholding evidence of "non-human beings" <br />gathered through decades of top-secret programs
