Andy Biggs

Andy Biggs is a Republican House member from Arizona's 5th District.¹ This dossier limits his public UAP record to official congressional and committee proceedings from 2023 through 2025.²³⁴⁵⁶⁷ His office lists him on the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees, and the Oversight Committee's 119th Congress assignment notice places him on the Military and Foreign Affairs and Federal Law Enforcement subcommittees.⁸⁹

  Role in the UAP oversight record

The official record reviewed here begins with the July 26, 2023 Oversight hearing titled "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on National Security, Public Safety, and Government Transparency."²³ During his questioning, Biggs framed the subject around alleged official misdirection, cited the 1997 Phoenix Lights case because it was local to the Phoenix Valley, and asked about UAP effects on military training ranges in Arizona.³ He then asked witnesses what Congress could do about range impacts, whether the 2019 UAP classification guide interfered with public transparency, and whether the Department of Defense or intelligence agencies were keeping information from Congress or the public.³

The answers Biggs received pushed the record toward reporting channels, attached sensor data, and overclassification rather than toward a single claimed explanation for UAP.³ Ryan Graves pointed to service-wide reporting as a next step, David Grusch emphasized attaching sensor data to training-range reports, and David Fravor said UAP data needed to be acknowledged and collected before it could be researched.³

  Overclassification and access

The November 13, 2024 Oversight hearing, "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth," was a joint hearing of the Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation and National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs subcommittees.⁴⁵ Biggs questioned Tim Gallaudet about the "Go Fast" video, the deleted email Gallaudet described, and whether the email's author had been seeking confirmation of classified technology demonstrations.⁵

Biggs then turned to Luis Elizondo and Michael Shellenberger to ask why the Federal Government was overclassifying UAP material and restricting public access to it.⁵ In the same exchange, he read from material submitted to the hearing record about an alleged program called Immaculate Constellation, and Michael Gold later answered that overclassification was not limited to UAP and was a broader government problem for Congress to remedy.⁵

  Task Force hearing

The September 9, 2025 Task Force hearing, "Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection," listed Jeffrey Nuccetelli, Alexandro Wiggins, George Knapp, Dylan Borland, and Joe Spielberger as witnesses.⁶⁷ The hearing print lists Biggs as present but not as a task force member, and it records Chairwoman Anna Paulina Luna waiving him onto the task force for questioning.⁷

Biggs opened his 2025 questioning by saying the testimony should alarm Americans no matter their views on UAP and connected the hearing to government truth-hiding and punishment of whistleblowers.⁷ He asked Knapp how he verifies UAP whistleblower claims, asked Nuccetelli whether Congress or witnesses had been denied access to Vandenberg red square records held by AARO and the FBI, asked Wiggins whether full-resolution unedited footage had been provided to Congress, and asked Borland about alleged security-clearance record manipulation.⁷

When Borland said he could identify the responsible agencies only in a sensitive compartmented information facility, Biggs encouraged the chair to arrange that classified session.⁷ That exchange placed Biggs's 2025 questions in the same lane as his 2023 and 2024 questions: where records are held, what evidence Congress can see, how classification blocks access, and whether witnesses can safely provide details.³⁵⁷

  Dossier assessment

Across the official transcripts, Biggs's UAP role is best described as repeated hearing questioning.³⁵⁷ He used Oversight questioning to seek record locations, evidence custody, classification rationales, and whistleblower-protection channels.³⁵⁷ In the records reviewed here, he does not present himself as a UAP eyewitness or as an investigator outside Congress; he asks witnesses where records are held, what can be disclosed, and what closed setting may be needed for protected testimony.³⁵⁷

Biggs's most consistent target is AARO's credibility as an intake and disclosure mechanism.⁵⁷ That focus appears in the 2024 hearing through questions about overclassification and access, and it sharpens in the 2025 hearing through questions about AARO-held records, witness mistrust, and the need for a SCIF discussion of clearance-related allegations.⁵⁷
