Anna Paulina Luna

Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets and is one of the leading congressional champions of UAP transparency.

Role in UAP Disclosure

Legislative Priorities

  • Stronger whistleblower protections for UAP disclosures
  • Confidential reporting channels for military personnel
  • Declassification initiatives for UAP-related data
  • Announced a hearing featuring a witness willing to come forward about crash-retrieval-programs

Criticism of AARO

  • Exited a classified aaro briefing in April 2024, calling it unsubstantial
  • By September 2025, publicly characterized former AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick as “a documented liar on the congressional record”
  • Championed the effort to shut down AARO, supporting tim-burchett’s H.R. 8197 (src-aaro-shutdown-bill-2026)

Significance

Luna has emerged as one of the most active congressional advocates for UAP transparency, providing institutional continuity from the 118th to the 119th Congress.

H.R. 5060 — UAP Whistleblower Protection Act (August 2025)

Co-introduced with tim-burchett the week of Aug 25, 2025; bill text is identical to a November 2024 version. Would extend existing federal whistleblower-protection statutes to cover individuals reporting on the use of taxpayer funds to research or evaluate UAP material. Referred to House Oversight, House Armed Services, and HPSCI (src-uap-whistleblower-protection-act-2025-09). Distinct from eric-burlison’s standalone uap-disclosure-act.

”Interdimensional beings” claim (2025 Joe Rogan podcast)

In a 2025 episode of joe-rogan’s podcast, Luna said she had seen evidence of “interdimensional beings” — a non-ETH framing of UAP origins distinct from the NHI / extraterrestrial framing used by most disclosure advocates. The claim was re-cited in May 2026 Fortune/AP coverage of donald-trump’s UAP push (src-trump-pentagon-uap-files-2026-05).

”Nonhuman origin and creation” — Pod Force One (April 2026)

In an April 29, 2026 episode of New York Post columnist miranda-devine’s Pod Force One podcast, Luna escalated her language: she said she has “seen evidence in a SCIF that leads me to believe there are things we cannot explain” and “observed things that are of nonhuman origin and creation.” She pledged to hold a press conference once the underlying material is declassified: “When it’s declassified, I will have a press conference, and I’ll show you exactly what we saw.” Pressed on aliens, Luna deliberately avoided the word: “I don’t call them aliens, and I don’t know what these things are that they’re using.” A department-of-war official, in the same Newsweek piece, reiterated that aaro is “working in close coordination with the White House and across federal agencies” to release “never-before-seen UAP information” (src-luna-nonhuman-origin-pod-force-one-2026-04). The remarks land between the Pod Force One “interdimensional” Rogan framing and the broader NHI vocabulary, but explicitly assert non-human creation — the strongest such claim Luna has put on the record.

46-Video Demand (March-April 2026)

  • Mar 31, 2026 — Wrote to SecWar pete-hegseth requesting 46+ specific UAP videos by April 14. Footage reportedly includes spherical, cigar-shaped, and Tic Tac-like objects over war zones, oceans, and restricted airspace, including incidents near Iran, Syria, U.S. bases, and a 2023 Lake Huron event.
  • Apr 14, 2026 — Deadline missed. Luna’s X post: “No one from the Pentagon had responded until we reached out… How convenient.” Rejected an offered future briefing (src-pentagon-uap-deadline-missed-2026-04).
  • Apr 15, 2026 — DoW publicly confirms the release process; jeremy-corbell and george-knapp say they supplied Congress with the file names and locations underlying Luna’s request (src-war-department-uap-release-2026-04).
  • Apr 16, 2026 — avi-loeb frames Luna’s 46-video demand as a worthwhile probe but cautions the most scientifically interesting recent classified-sensor data is likely to be withheld and pushes for raw, unprocessed satellite imagery (src-loeb-wh-uap-videos-skeptic-2026-04). Also Apr 16: Luna appeared on former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s OAN show and described the escalation chain — staff had to chase the Pentagon, then she escalated to the White House after the Pentagon “refused to respond.” Pentagon offered a future briefing; Luna rejected it: “That’s not up to them.” aaro issued a statement confirming coordination with the White House on UAP release; Hegseth on record: “in full compliance with that executive order.” (src-luna-uap-deadline-missed-2026-04)
  • Apr 17, 2026 — Luna posted Trump’s TPUSA tease clip with a winking emoji and (in NewsNation interview) said she is “considering using subpoena authority” if the 46 videos are not released — first explicit subpoena threat tied to the 46-video demand (src-trump-ufo-files-interesting-2026-04).

May 8, 2026 PURSUE Pre-launch Tease

Luna pre-announced pursue Release 01 with a cryptic “8 a.m.” X post (src-newsweek-luna-teases-disclosure-2026-05) and directed followers to a joe-rogan episode featuring tim-burchett and to the Book of Enoch (Watchers / Nephilim) — her first explicit Enoch citation in this wiki, anchoring her commentary on the Christian-eschatological side of theological-uap-framing alongside Rep. lauren-boebert. Post-launch reactions: “a massive first step in the right direction”; said additional videos would follow (src-fortune-aldrin-apollo-11-uap-2026-05).

”Biblically accurate angel” post (May 2026)

Shortly after the May 8 PURSUE files dropped, Luna posted an image of a “biblically accurate” angel — interlocking rings studded with eyes and wings. Commenters on X linked the image to the 2013 Middle East IR “eight-pointed star” UAP clip (dow-uap-pr38). Luna told Courthouse News Service in a Capitol-corridor interview that the post was “unrelated” to the department-of-war release and only “a modern-day interpretation” of angelic form (src-religious-republicans-uap-files-2026-05) — a measured walk-back contrasting with her same-day Book-of-Enoch pointer.

Harvard meeting with Avi Loeb (April–May 2026)

Per avi-loeb in his May 11, 2026 The Hill’s Rising interview (src-loeb-two-ufo-interpretations-2026-05), Luna visited Loeb’s Harvard office “a few weeks ago” for an extended in-person discussion. This is the first vault evidence of direct Luna–Loeb engagement on UAP transparency, formalizing the rhetorical alignment already present in their respective May 2026 PURSUE commentary.

May 15, 2026 — Joint Kosloski–Burlison review session

Per Luna’s X post the same day (preserved in src-debrief-pursue-next-batch-preview-2026-05), Luna, AARO director jon-kosloski, and Rep. eric-burlison completed review of “40+ videos set for declassification” ahead of pursue Release 02. Luna’s post is her first explicit endorsement of Kosloski, after months of “documented liar”-tier criticism of his predecessor sean-kirkpatrick:

“We are standing with the NEW and very QUALIFIED Director of AARO who now has my full support and has proven through action that he is working in good faith on declass efforts.”

This pivots Luna’s posture: from adversary to qualified ally of AARO leadership, at least under Kosloski. The reviewed videos are expected in PURSUE Release 02 (May 22, 2026 — see src-pentagon-second-batch-ufo-release-2026-05).

April 24, 2026 UAP Hearing

Luna chaired a second hearing on April 24, 2026: “Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection” — the official primary-source record of which is at src-uap-transparency-hearing-2026-04. Featured additional military witnesses (jeffrey-nuccetelli, dylan-borland, alexandro-wiggins) and Rep. eric-burlison’s public release of MQ-9/Yemen orb footage. (Note: analysis agent originally assessed this as the September 9, 2025 hearing; the April 24, 2026 date is from the hearing page URL.)

June 9, 2026 — Grusch disclosure press conference

Luna is a slated participant in a Capitol Hill UAP disclosure press conference headlined by david-grusch and hosted by leslie-kean and james-fox, alongside Reps. eric-burlison, tim-burchett, and jared-moskowitz, pushing for passage of the uap-disclosure-act (src-grusch-disclosure-press-conference-2026-05).

At the presser, as Task Force chair, Luna said lawmakers are discussing immunity protections for those with knowledge of craft locations, recovered materials, or advanced technology, joining eric-burlison’s immunity call (src-washington-examiner-grusch-slush-fund-2026-06, src-lawmakers-crash-retrieval-immunity-2026-06).

June 25, 2026 — Disclosure Forum

Luna was honored at the disclosure-foundation Disclosure Forum 2026 alongside Reps. eric-burlison, tim-burchett, and andre-carson for UAP transparency efforts. She reported that she is actively working with the White House on immunity provisions for individuals with knowledge of recovered nonhuman technology or “biologics”: “We are going to get them immunity and protection.” (src-disclosure-forum-june25-2026-06)

June 26, 2026 — Whistleblower immunity list

In a NewsNation/The Hill segment (also featuring chris-mellon on base incursions), Luna said credible whistleblowers with knowledge of recovered non-human spacecraft and biologics fear losing their clearances, and that she will submit a list of such individuals to Congress for immunity consideration:

“We know there have been credible whistleblowers … but they are worried about losing their clearances.”

(Note: the source article mislabels her party as “(D-Fla.)”; she is a Republican representing Florida — an error in the original reporting, not reflected here.) See src-pentagon-bases-ufo-mellon-2026-06.
