A Well Regulated UAP Industry: Why ?The UAP Registration Act? is a Better Path to Disclosure

In this op-ed, Sean Munger, an attorney and former Marine Corps intelligence analyst, introduces the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Registration Act (UAPRA). This forward-thinking legislative proposal addresses two urgent needs: 1) It provides a path to responsibly manage breakthrough scientific discoveries, especially those held by commercial entities, that may originate from non-human intelligence (NHI), and 2) it brings the alleged unregulated UAP industry into a transparent, accountable, and efficient legal structure. 

As disclosure efforts move from speculation to active efforts involving legislation, ‘The UAP Registration Act’ proposed herein provides a balanced, proactive approach that respects property rights, promotes public trust, and safeguards national security. It is a necessary step toward building the legal and institutional infrastructure needed for the next chapter of engagement involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and the potential existence of non-human intelligence (NHI).

This op-ed aims to re-energize legislative efforts to tackle this subject, promote productive debate, and help to bring about seamless disclosure that uses existing infrastructures and enforcement mechanisms. An initial draft of the proposed UAP Registration Act can be found at the end of this article.
