About

Why This Event

In the past decade, UAP transparency has moved from the margins of public discourse to the floors of Congress. Bipartisan legislation has been introduced. Whistleblowers have testified under oath. Intelligence community insiders have broken decades of silence.

Yet the conversation remains stuck in the era of proving existence. Despite a growing body of both indirect and direct evidence — enough to establish that there is clearly something here — no organization has begun the work of asking the harder question: what is the plan?

The Disclosure Forum is designed to move beyond proof and into process. How do you facilitate disclosure responsibly? What are its impacts across global security, technology integration, environmental policy, and the deeper sociological, theological, and philosophical questions that follow? These are the conversations that matter now — and no one is having them at scale, on the record, in a serious institutional setting.

We are convening the policymakers, researchers, scientists, and journalists who are ready to outline a path forward — to identify how we integrate the emerging knowledge of UAP and their origins into modern society.

The Disclosure Foundation

The Disclosure Foundation is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing the understanding of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). We unite policy leadership, legal action, and public education to shape a post-disclosure future.

Our work includes public forums and media initiatives, evidence-based resources for policymakers, and confidential support for those who come forward.
