Today, July 20, 2022, the House Intelligence Committee approved the Fiscal Year 2023 Intelligence Authorization Act, authorizing funding for initiatives that will improve the IC\u2019s ability to collect data on hard targets, modernize the Intelligence Community\u2019s use of emerging technology, recruit and retain top talent to the IC, and strengthen congressional oversight. The measure was passed through a bipartisan voice vote and now heads to the House floor for final passage.<\/em><\/p>\n

It also included language about Unidentified Aerospace-Undersea Phenomena. (Click Here<\/a> for the full approved Act and corresponding press release.)<\/p>\n

Shining a historical light on UAPs<\/b>. This year, the Intelligence Committee delivered on a promise to hold the first public hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in more than half a century. The hearing included newly declassified information about UAPs, including never-before-seen video footage and data from subject matter experts. In order to support the work to unravel the UAP mystery, the 2023 IAA directs the GAO to study historical classified information that may further the broader IC effort to understand and explain UAPs \u2013 including the implications they may have for our national security.<\/em><\/p>\n
