For too long, career bureaucrats and anonymous intelligence officials have hidden behind the cloak of “national security” while leaving the American people in the dark about matters that could affect our safety and sovereignty. Representative Anna Paulina Luna, speaking forcefully about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, has ripped off that curtain and demanded answers instead of platitudes — and that stand deserves our respect and support. The days of dismissing credible witnesses as kooks are over; Congress must keep pushing until real disclosure happens.
Luna is not a fly-by-night commentator; she chairs the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets and has already scheduled formal hearings to force transparency out of the agencies that have been stonewalling for decades. Her task force is explicitly aimed at restoring public trust by compelling DoD and intelligence agencies to explain what they know about UAPs and how classification rules are being abused. Americans who pay the bills deserve oversight, and Luna is using her committee tools to deliver it.
This is not idle speculation from a politician seeking headlines — Luna herself has talked about a first-hand military incident she encountered while serving with the Air National Guard, and she has publicly urged the government to stop treating these reports like conspiracy fodder. Her candid recounting of pilots too scared to speak and objects that outperformed our aircraft should be a wake-up call to anyone still comfortable with official silence. If Congress won’t force transparency, the blame will be on politicians who prefer secrecy to accountability.
Whistleblowers and veterans have come forward with extraordinary claims, from recovered materials to encounters that defy known technology, and those credible testimonies deserve protection — not ridicule or threats to careers. Luna has stressed the need for whistleblower safeguards so service members can inform Congress and the public without fearing retribution, which is a plain requirement in a republic that values truth and the rule of law. The stubborn refusal of some agencies to produce documents only deepens suspicion that something untoward is being covered up.
Patriots should demand two things right now: transparent, declassified briefings to elected representatives and legal protections for those brave enough to come forward. Luna’s hearings have already exposed gaps and raised urgent national security questions — from baffling aerial capabilities to unexplained interactions with our weapons systems — that cannot be swept under the rug. We owe it to our servicemen and to future generations to insist on disclosure, accountability, and an end to the bureaucratic secrecy that treats taxpayers like children.
