Summary

On April 14, 2026, the Pentagon missed a deadline set by Congress to provide over 45 UAP videos recorded by military platforms. Representative Anna Paulina Luna, who chairs the task force, stated that the Pentagon did not respond to the request until her office followed up. The videos include footage of unidentified objects near military bases and active conflict zones. Despite a presidential order for disclosure, the Pentagon has not provided the requested materials. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has over 2,000 unresolved UAP incidents. The ongoing lack of transparency and consistent delays from the Pentagon have raised concerns about what is being protected. The encounter has led to increased scrutiny from Congress and the public regarding UAP disclosure.
