U.S. House adopts UAP Records Amendment 315 for the FY2027 NDAA bill
The U.S. House adopted Amendment 315 to the FY2027 NDAA House bill as part of an en bloc package. The amendment provides for a UAP Records Collection at the National Archives and an independent review board for reviewing and disclosing relevant government records.
Background
Introduced by Representative Eric Burlison, the amendment adds provisions to the House FY2027 NDAA bill concerning the identification, transfer, preservation, review, and public disclosure of unidentified anomalous phenomena records. The House agreed to the en bloc package containing Amendment 315 on July 22, 2026. This placed the language in the House version but did not itself enact it into law.
Significance
The adoption represents a concrete legislative advance toward a statutory collection and independent review of government UAP records. It remains distinct from subsequent House-Senate negotiations and final enactment.
