On March 31, 2026, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican who chairs the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, sent a four-page letter to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. It listed 46 specific UAP video files, identified by whistleblowers, and asked for them by April 14.

The list was unusually precise, naming files by date, callsign and platform. According to the task force and press accounts, the videos span several military branches and include formations of objects over Iran, the Persian Gulf and the East China Sea, objects near U.S. airports, and spherical, cigar-shaped and “Tic Tac” shapes. Luna wrote that the continued lack of transparency and the potential national security threat were troubling.

April 14 came and went. Luna said no one at the Pentagon had responded until her office reached out, and that it appeared someone hadn’t passed the letter to the appropriate authorities. “How convenient,” she posted, adding that whoever was trying to be cute at the Pentagon could take a hike. Rep. Jared Moskowitz joked that the Pentagon said it had lost the letter. Luna stressed she considers Hegseth a friend who backs the president’s push for disclosure.

When the Pentagon’s first public UFO file release came on May 8, the 46 videos weren’t in it. Luna said they would come in a later release.
