Burchett Bill Targets Pentagon’s UAP Office for Shutdown

U.S. Representative Tim Burchett has introduced legislation that could dramatically reshape how the government handles reports of unexplained aerial objects. On April 6, 2026, the Tennessee Republican filed H.R. 8197 to shut down the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, known as AARO, within 60 days of the bill becoming law.


The measure would scatter AARO’s duties across other parts of the Department of Defense instead of keeping everything in one place. It also blocks the creation of any new centralized office inside the Pentagon or the Director of National Intelligence that would control all UAP investigations. Supporters say this move stops any single agency from acting as a gatekeeper that might hide or downplay findings.


AARO was launched in 2022 to scientifically examine strange sightings reported by pilots, sailors, and radar systems in the air, sea, space, and on land. While the office promised open, evidence-based answers, many longtime UAP researchers and some lawmakers argue it has focused more on quick explanations than on truly puzzling cases. Whistleblowers have claimed the military possesses technology and materials not made on Earth, yet public AARO reports have often described most incidents as ordinary objects or sensor glitches.


Burchett, who co-chairs a bipartisan group pushing for clearer answers on these phenomena, has reviewed classified briefings he says would keep most Americans awake at night. He believes spreading responsibility will make it harder for any one office to control the story and easier for genuine discoveries to reach the public. Critics of the bill worry that without a central hub, important data could get lost between agencies.


As public interest in UAP grows—with polls showing most Americans suspect we are not alone—this bill signals a fresh push toward openness. Whether it passes remains uncertain, but it marks another step by Congress to demand real transparency on one of the most intriguing mysteries of our time.
