WATCH: Our interview with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand on UAPs UFOs & the Pentagon's UFO Program AARO.

In recent years, the subject of UFOs—now referred to as UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena)—has transitioned from the fringes of conspiracy theories to the center stage of American national security. At the forefront of this legislative push is Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a key figure on the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committees. Gillibrand is the driving force behind the establishment of AARO—the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office within the Pentagon—an entity designed to centralize military reporting and scientifically examine objects alleged to demonstrate technology that challenges the known laws of physics. This interview provides a rare, behind-the-scenes look at Capitol Hill, where government transparency meets guarded military secrets. Gillibrand discusses the urgent need to destigmatize pilots and military personnel who report unusual encounters, emphasizing the importance of creating a safe and protected reporting channel. For her, the question is not merely whether these represent extraterrestrial visitations, but is first and foremost a matter of airspace sovereignty and national security: are foreign powers operating advanced technology in U.S. airspace without the Pentagon’s knowledge, and what does this information gap mean for military readiness? Beyond security concerns, the discussion touches upon the philosophical and scientific questions captivating the general public. Gillibrand elaborates on the bureaucratic challenges facing the pursuit of truth, resistance within the defense establishment, and the ongoing struggle to declassify both historical and current data. It is a fascinating dialogue on the attempt to institutionalize the study of the unexplained within the world’s most conservative systems, and the commitment of American lawmakers to provide answers to a public demanding to know what is truly hovering in our skies.
