Congress is Last to Know about NHI and their UFOs
The New Paradigm Institute (NPI) and Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) hosted a press event following a recent congressional hearing on UAPs, where Jim Garrison, the director of NPI’s Washington office, underscored the growing coalition of organizations worldwide demanding transparency about non-human intelligence (NHI) and UFOs. He expressed that there’s undeniable evidence suggesting humanity is not alone—a sentiment that emerged powerfully during the hearings and resonates globally. Garrison emphasized that MUFON and NPI are creating a strategic alliance to forge a global coalition advocating for government disclosure of information already perceived as public knowledge. At the event, Danny Sheehan, a prominent figure in the disclosure movement, referenced significant insights shared by Lou Elizondo, a former Pentagon official. Elizondo reportedly confirmed the existence of biological evidence, though specifics about bodies or other biologics remain classified. Congress members repeatedly asked if, in secure locations (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities or “scifs”), Elizondo could share additional details about these biological discoveries, to which he responded that he was unauthorized, even suggesting higher classification levels that restrict Congress itself from accessing certain data.
This points to a profound hierarchy within the U.S. government, where authority on UAP-related intelligence surpasses even congressional clearance. The discussions revealed a persistent, classified structure controlling access to critical information—a structure Congress is actively questioning. Although disclosure advocates have made significant strides, it’s evident that more layers must be unveiled before a fuller understanding reaches the public.
Despite the wall of secrecy still blocking full transparency on non-human intelligence (NHI) and UFOs, a growing number of members of Congress, both in the House and Senate, are demanding access to this classified information. Even hardline security advocates, such as Congressman Ogle, have voiced that Congress should be fully briefed. This sentiment reflects the core purpose of the UFO Control Disclosure Act: to ensure that Congress is informed and, subsequently, to decide on the appropriate level of public disclosure. During the hearing, one member of Congress went so far as to call it “criminal” that their branch of government is being excluded from essential intelligence on UFOs. Congresswoman Mace also emphasized the need for further hearings to uncover more details. Meanwhile, former President Trump has repeatedly stated his intent to release all UFO-related information if re-elected, yet the pressing concern remains whether Trump alone should control this sensitive data. Many argue that this responsibility should lie with Congress, as elected representatives of the American people.
MUFON and the New Paradigm Institute are taking this step seriously, aiming to organize disclosure teams in each of the 435 congressional districts across the country. Currently, they have established these teams in 43 states but seek full coverage. This grassroots push is essential, as both organizations plan to continue pressuring Congress for more hearings and engaging with the public on the significance of disclosure. Furthermore, the hearing highlighted concerns about the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which has reportedly been ineffective in its mission under past leadership. While there is optimism for improvements under new management, as long as AARO operates under the Department of Defense and intelligence community, which have withheld information for decades, concerns about transparency remain. Ultimately, the public and Congress must unite to demand the release of this information.
As Dr. Garrison of NPI highlighted, much of this information is already known within certain circles, but around 75% of Americans remain uninformed. A major aim of NPI and MUFON is to bridge this knowledge gap, making the American public as well-informed as those engaged in disclosure advocacy. They plan to intensify these efforts after the January 20 inauguration, leveraging any commitments made by Trump to push for the release of all UFO whistleblowers from non-disclosure agreements, thereby facilitating a broader, unrestricted flow of information.
As the event continued, speakers emphasized the need for an informed citizenry to apply sustained pressure on Congress to prioritize transparency on the UFO issue. They stressed that without active engagement from the public, congressional representatives would likely not pursue this matter aggressively. Tim Burchett, having emerged from a secure information facility (or “skiff”) earlier, voiced a similar sentiment, attributing Congress’s current engagement to the demands of the people. This theme of mobilizing citizens was echoed by the New Paradigm Institute (NPI) and MUFON, who are collaborating to ensure the public remains informed and engaged. Their strategic alliance aims to build momentum by rallying individuals across the United States to support disclosure efforts.
MUFON’s Director of Media Relations, Ron James, addressed longstanding challenges in the UFO community, noting the division and infighting that has often hindered progress. By uniting MUFON’s resources and NPI’s advocacy efforts, the organizations hope to communicate a cohesive message that empowers the public and pressures the government to reveal more about extraterrestrial engagement. James expressed a belief that current information releases are likely part of a controlled rollout, influenced by entities in positions of power that the public will never see. As much as he respects the witnesses who have come forward, James argued that these individuals are restricted by their roles and chains of command, thus unable to fully disclose what they know.
Dave McDonald, MUFON’s executive director, emphasized the organization’s extensive history and contributions to UFO research, including a comprehensive database of over 1.2 million pieces of evidence gathered since MUFON’s establishment in 1969. He shared that MUFON possesses medical reports and detailed evidence of both biological entities and non-living, android-like beings. Despite the abundance of evidence, McDonald admitted that there are certain security considerations that may justify keeping some information classified. However, he maintained that knowledge of extraterrestrial life is too monumental to remain hidden from the public.
The event closed with a nod to Steve Bassett, the first registered UFO lobbyist in Washington, D.C., who emphasized the importance of maintaining bipartisan cooperation on this issue. He noted that UFO disclosure is fundamentally nonpartisan and that it may serve as an avenue for Congress to bridge divides on this critical issue. Bassett’s hope is that by presenting a unified front, the various organizations can collectively push Congress to hold additional hearings, especially after the inauguration, and to ultimately move toward full disclosure, benefiting from the public’s interest and demand for the truth.
Julia Mossbridge, founder of the Mossbridge Institute, provided a scientific perspective on the stigma surrounding “edge science,” which includes phenomena like UFOs, consciousness studies, and anomalous experiences. Mossbridge explained that scientific inquiry has been artificially limited, with academic and government institutions fostering a culture of stigma around these subjects. Mossbridge shared her efforts to bring “edge science” into mainstream research, citing her proposals to prominent organizations like the Rand Corporation and DARPA, both of which deemed her ideas too controversial without White House endorsement. She hopes to see the creation of a dedicated office within the Executive Office of the President to support unbiased research on these topics. Mossbridge’s vision for “healing” science involves integrating unconventional subjects into mainstream inquiry, bridging the cultural divide that has restricted exploration and stifled innovation.
The speakers concluded by calling for ongoing public engagement and underscoring the critical role of civilian pressure in advancing disclosure. They encouraged continued public involvement to push for transparency and keep the momentum going, highlighting how essential citizen activism is for ensuring government accountability and a more complete understanding of humanity’s place in the universe.
