Disclosure Rating — 5/10

Dina Titus is the Democratic U.S. Representative for Nevada's 1st District, the urban Las Vegas seat she returned to in 2013 after earlier House service from 2009 to 2011.123 Before Congress, she was a UNLV political scientist and Nevada Senate minority leader from 1993 to 2008.12 Her UAP record is institutional: House Administration records for the 119th Congress list Titus as one of four chair/co-chairs of the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Caucus, alongside Tim Burchett, Jared Moskowitz, and Bob Latta.4

  Nevada Senate Minority Leader, Then Congress

Born Alice Costandina Titus in Thomasville, Georgia, on May 23, 1950, she earned degrees from William and Mary, the University of Georgia, and Florida State University before becoming a long-serving Nevada political figure.1 She served in the Nevada Senate from 1989 to 2008, led the Democratic minority from 1993 to 2008, won a House seat in 2008, lost reelection in 2010, and returned to Congress in 2013.1 She taught American and Nevada government at UNLV, represents a Las Vegas-centered district, and has worked in Congress on transportation, foreign affairs, tourism, animal welfare, and veterans policy.2

  UAP Caucus Co-Chair

In the 119th Congress, Titus is a co-chair of the UAP Caucus with Burchett, Moskowitz, and Latta.4 The same House Administration list separately names Titus as a co-chair of the Congressional Travel and Tourism Caucus and the Unmanned Systems Caucus, placing her in congressional networks around tourism, aviation, and unmanned aircraft.4 She sits on Foreign Affairs and on Transportation and Infrastructure, including the Aviation Subcommittee.3

  Introducing Knapp At The September 2025 Hearing

The Oversight Committee scheduled the September 9, 2025 hearing under the title "Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection" and listed George Knapp, Dylan Borland, Jeffrey Nuccetelli, and Alexandro Wiggins as witnesses.5 The hearing's stated focus was UAP transparency, alleged agency overclassification, the Defense Department, the intelligence community, and the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office.6 Titus appeared by waiver before the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets and was recognized to introduce Knapp; the transcript records no later question from her.7

  Knapp As Las Vegas Constituent

Titus introduced Knapp as a Las Vegas journalist and constituent with decades of reporting on UFOs and UAPs.7 Knapp then testified about reporting, documents, witnesses, and alleged secrecy around UAP programs, with those claims recorded as his testimony before the task force.7 Area 51 and classified flight testing give Nevada local salience in UAP culture, while Titus's hearing action came through her congressional role and Knapp's Las Vegas connection.57

  Not A Sponsor Of The Whistleblower Bills

The UAP Whistleblower Protection Act in the 119th Congress was H.R. 5060, introduced by Burchett on August 29, 2025, with Anna Paulina Luna and Eli Crane listed as cosponsors on Congress.gov.8 Its 118th-Congress predecessor, H.R. 10111, was also introduced by Burchett and listed Nancy Mace, Luna, and Eric Burlison as cosponsors.9 The September 2025 transcript places the statement about having recently introduced the whistleblower bill in Burchett's questioning, not in Titus's introduction of Knapp.7 Titus is not listed as sponsor or cosponsor of H.R. 5060 or H.R. 10111.89

  AARO 2024 Counter-Record

The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office historical report released by the Defense Department in March 2024 found no verifiable evidence that any U.S. government investigation had confirmed extraterrestrial technology, extraterrestrial bodies, or a secret reverse-engineering program.10 That AARO report predates the 2025 hearing and leaves later witness testimony for Congress to evaluate, but it remained the official Defense Department position on claims of extraterrestrial technology and reverse engineering when Titus joined the 2025 UAP transparency hearing.5710 No cited official source identifies Titus as a UAP witness, whistleblower, or sponsor of dedicated UAP whistleblower legislation.789
