Congressional Activity on UAP Whistleblower and Disclosure Legislation, Sept 2025–Feb 2026

Congress

September 2025 hearings focused on UAP disclosure and whistleblower issues; both bills remained introduced with no amendments through Feb 2026.

Disclosure Rating — 6/10

H.R. 1187 (UAP Transparency Act) and H.R. 5060 (UAP Whistleblower Protection Act) were the two core filing tracks on this subject in the 119th Congress during this window, and both were referred by House action to committee-level consideration without advancing into reported actions or floor passage.12345

The committee action status for H.R. 1187 was established as a 02/11/2025 introduction and referral to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, with the same two entries shown in Congress.gov all-actions output.12

H.R. 5060 has a similar filing-and-routing pattern, listed with Speaker referral to the Oversight and Government Reform, Armed Services, and Intelligence (Permanent Select) committees, with its all-actions list containing only 08/29/2025-era entry rows and no later House action milestones.345

The Oversight Committee shifted follow-on activity into hearing work: on September 9, 2025 it held "Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection" with witness packets and written testimony linked from the hearing page.67

The House Oversight press release on Sep 3 announced that hearing and its agenda, and the hearing page lists the witnesses and documents tied to this event date.76

Congress.gov records the same hearing under house-event/118584 with a PDF hearing text link in addition to related metadata and transcript labels, preserving the legislative-record footprint beyond the bill text itself.[^14]

Amendment tracking also stayed at zero activity: both bills’ Congress.gov amendments pages explicitly state that no amendments were submitted.86
