The government could be forced to disclose if aliens have visited Earth under new legislation.

The Senate passed an amendment in July that will be part of the National Defense Authorization (NDAA) for 2024.

Known as the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Discloser Act, it says Government agencies with records, samples of craft or 'biological' material must hand it over within 300 days.

President Joe Biden will have 90 days to appoint a nine-person Review Board responsible for investigating each record and determining if they are considered UAPs that should be disclosed to the public.

Any government agency possessing such records will be required to hand over printed and digital copies to the board, which has 180 days to investigate and 14 days to publish their findings.

The president, however, can vote against disclosing specific evidence if it poses a national threat.

Step One: The President forms the Review Board

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, has teamed up with Senator Mike Rounds, a Republican, in leading an effort to force the disclosure of information relating to what the government officially calls 'unidentified anomalous phenomena.'

Their proposal is modeled after a 1992 US law spelling out the handling of records related to the 1963 assassination of President John Kennedy.
