The public program ran from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and covered UAP transparency, oversight, national security, science, and social implications.[^1]\n\n## Participants and Discussion Topics\n\nThe official program lists Senator Mike Rounds, Representatives Anna Paulina Luna, Eric Burlison, Andre Carson, and Suhas Subramanyam, and former defense official Christopher Mellon. Sessions addressed congressional oversight, security and defense, instrument-based investigation, psychology, religion, technology, and financial impacts.[^1]\n\n## Public Opinion Survey Release\n\nThe Foundation also presented a survey it commissioned from F'inn, fielded online June 5-9, 2026, among 303 U.S. adults. The published results say 84 percent wanted more government information about UAP and 69 percent believed UAP exist; the methodology notes representative quotas and cautions that comparisons with a 2021 Pew survey are directional because question wording, sample design, and response options differed.[^2]\n\n## References\n\n[^1]: [Disclosure Foundation, \"Disclosure Forum 2026,\" official program and session replays](https://forum.disclosure.org/)\n\n[^2]: [Disclosure Foundation, \"Public Sentiment on UAP Transparency,\" June 2026 survey report and methodology](https://www.disclosure.org/research/public-sentiment-uap-transparency-2026)","readingTime":"1 min read"},"relatedRecords":[{"ref":{"type":"updates","slug":"2026-japan-uap-and-historical-expansion","title":"Japan UAP investigation, 2026 executive actions, and historical expansion","url":"https://disclosdex.com/updates/2026-japan-uap-and-historical-expansion"},"direction":"inbound","weight":1}],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/events/2026-06-25-senate-disclosure-forum","title":"Inaugural Disclosure Forum","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/events/2026-06-25-senate-disclosure-forum","license":"CC-BY-4.0"},"witnesses":["Sen.
