Mystery, Confusion and Allegations Surround the Downfall of Key UFO Legislation as Glimmer of Hope Emerges

The downfall of the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act (UAPDA) has been surrounded by mystery, confusion, and allegations after the amendment was excluded from the Senate’s Manager’s Package for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 (NDAA FY 2025).

When news of its exclusion broke, sources informed Liberation Times that the UAPDA was blocked due to resistance from Senator Rand Paul, the Republican ranking member of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

According to one source who spoke to Liberation Times, Senator Paul was prepared to oppose any amendment supported by Senate Leader and Democrat Chuck Schumer - including the UAPDA. 

Another source reported that, in August, a staff member from Senator Chris Coons’ office indicated to them in person that Senator Paul was the only senator opposing the UAPDA.

Initially declining to comment on the record via email, a staffer from Senator Rand Paul’s office later informed Liberation Times via phone that the Senator had approved the inclusion of the UAPDA in the Manager’s Package.
