UAP Disclosure Act Excluded from FY2026 NDAA for Third Consecutive Year

The UAP Disclosure Act of 2025 was excluded from both the House and Senate versions of the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act during the conference process. This marked the third consecutive year that the legislation failed to survive NDAA negotiations. Both the Burlison House amendment and the Schumer-Rounds-Gillibrand Senate amendment (S.Amdt.3111) were dropped. The final NDAA included only three minor UAP provisions: mandatory briefings on UAP intercepts since 2004, a classification review of UAP records, and a UAP reporting mechanism for current and former government personnel.
