As lawmakers, researchers and advocates gather on Capitol Hill, the conversation appears to be shifting from whether anomalous phenomena exist to how governments should address growing public demands for transparency.

As a new UAP disclosure forum prepares to convene in Washington, D.C. on June 25, 2026, organizers and participants are signaling that the conversation may be entering a new phase.

The event, organized by the Disclosure Foundation, will bring together lawmakers, researchers, scientists, whistleblowers and public advocates on Capitol Hill to discuss transparency surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs). According to forum organizers, the focus is no longer solely on whether unexplained phenomena exist, but on how governments should approach public disclosure and scientific investigation.

Among the announced participants are Senators Mike Rounds and Kirsten Gillibrand, whose involvement underscores the bipartisan nature of congressional interest in the issue. The forum comes amid continuing public debate following several government releases of UAP-related records and increasing calls for greater transparency.

The gathering also coincides with the formation of a new scientific advisory effort associated with astrophysicist Avi Loeb. The multidisciplinary team is expected to provide scientific expertise regarding unexplained aerial and related phenomena, while bringing both advocates and skeptics into the conversation.

Questions remain about whether future government disclosures will address claims made by several high-profile witnesses, including former intelligence officer David Grusch. Some witnesses have alleged the existence of long-running retrieval and analysis programs involving non-human technology and biological materials. Those claims remain disputed and have not been publicly substantiated by the U.S. government.

For now, the Washington forum appears less focused on proving extraordinary claims than on addressing a growing public demand for clarity. Whether it produces new information or simply advances the conversation, the event reflects a continuing shift in how UAP issues are being discussed within both scientific and political circles.

The Disclosure Forum is scheduled to convene inside the Kennedy Caucus Room at the Russell Senate Office Building, a historic Senate chamber built for moments of national consequence, on June 25, 2026. This event is free and open to the public.
