Pentagon missed the Congressional deadline to release 46 classified UAP videos — Rep. Luna threatened subpoena

Congress Set a Hard Deadline for 46 UAP Videos. The Pentagon Ignored It.

The House Oversight UAP Task Force, chaired by Representative Anna Paulina Luna, gave the Pentagon a specific deadline: April 14, 2026. Deliver 46 classified unidentified aerial phenomena videos. The deadline passed. The Pentagon did not deliver the videos.

The Deadline

The task force's request was not informal. It was a committee demand backed by the oversight authority of the House of Representatives. The 46 videos had been referenced in prior congressional briefings and described as containing footage relevant to UAP incidents over U.S. military airspace. Luna's office set April 14 as the compliance date after the Pentagon missed earlier informal requests.

Luna's Response

Following the missed deadline, Luna stated publicly that she was prepared to issue a congressional subpoena — a formal legal compulsion that the executive branch cannot ignore without triggering a constitutional confrontation. She framed the Pentagon's non-compliance as obstruction of legitimate legislative oversight.

The Disclosure Pattern

The 2024 UAP Disclosure Act required the executive branch to release UAP-related records on a defined schedule. Multiple deadlines have been missed or partially met since the law passed. Each missed deadline is followed by a new request, a new deadline, and another missed delivery. The 46-video deadline is not an isolated failure — it is the latest step in a years-long pattern of executive resistance to statutory disclosure requirements.
