This legislation aims to increase public access to information concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena. It requires the President to direct all federal departments and agencies possessing relevant documents, reports, or other records to declassify and make them publicly available on their respective websites within 270 days of the Act's enactment. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the President transmit quarterly reports to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. These reports must detail the progress made by each federal entity in implementing the declassification and public release requirements. The term "unidentified anomalous phenomena" is defined by reference to existing law.
