Munger argues that the UAPRA offers a more effective and transparent path to UAP disclosure than the existing Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act (UAPDA), which was co-introduced by Senators Mike Rounds and Charles Schumer but has twice failed to become law in its intended form.\n\nMunger contends that the UAPDA, as currently structured, centralizes control of UAP-related materials within the Executive Branch through a nine-person review board, replicating the opacity it ostensibly seeks to remedy. The UAPRA, by contrast, would require private and government entities to register and submit to inspection of any non-human intelligence (NHI) materials or biological evidence in their possession, embedding oversight within existing regulatory structures rather than creating a new executive-controlled body. Munger draws parallels to established regulatory regimes governing nuclear, pharmaceutical, and aviation industries, and argues the UAPRA would balance national security interests with public transparency while also generating taxable economic activity.", "eventType": "official_statement", "eventDate": "2025-04-27", "dateDisplay": null, "isFeatured": false, "location": null, "tags": [ { "slug": "uap-legislation", "name": "UAP Legislation" }, { "slug": "uapra", "name": "UAPRA" }, { "slug": "uapda", "name": "UAPDA" }, { "slug": "disclosure", "name": "Disclosure" }, { "slug": "non-human-intelligence", "name": "Non-Human Intelligence" }, { "slug": "regulatory-framework", "name": "Regulatory Framework" } ], "canonical": "https://disclosurearchives.com/events/attorney-and-former-marine-intelligence-analyst-proposes-uap-registration-act-as" }, { "slug": "pursue-dow-uap-d50-email-correspondence-indopacom-april-2025", "title": "Email Correspondence: INDOPACOM, April 2025 (DOW-UAP-D50)", "summary": "This document is email correspondence describing the content of a mission report and requesting clarification on its content.

He references specific prior commitments — including a 2022 pledge by Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray before the House Intelligence Committee — that have not resulted in any meaningful public disclosures beyond a handful of videos on the AARO website.
