Senators Chuck Schumer and Mike Rounds introduced the UAP Disclosure Act as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, first in 2023 and again in 2024 and 2025. The legislation, modeled on the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act, would mandate that all government UAP records carry a 'presumption of disclosure' and — most remarkably — would grant the federal government eminent domain over 'any recovered technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence of non-human intelligence' held by private entities. The bill's language implicitly acknowledges the possible existence of such materials. While most provisions were stripped from the 2024 NDAA under defense industry pressure, legislators reintroduced them in subsequent years.
