Congress, Hearings & the House Request: 56 Declassified UFO Files
This collection gathers UAP material that Congress has seen or asked for. It holds the transcript of the House Oversight task force's 9 September 2025 UAP hearing, videos that defense officials showed at open House and Senate hearings, and 49 videos AARO found on a classified network after eight House members requested 51 records on March 6, 2026. Letters from 1998 show NASA telling a senator it had no program for investigating UFOs.

What stands out
This batch is the congressional response dump: 56 videos AARO handed over when eight House members demanded every UAP crumb from the War Department. Expect grainy footage, spotty chain‑of‑custody, and just enough redaction to keep the mystery machine humming.
- DOW-UAP-PR074 — "[CALLSIGN] (Mission)HD 20220613" — 2022 CENTCOM footage that actually names a mission – perfect for seeing whether the 'UAP' is a drone or a budget‑cut helicopter, with the usual bureaucratic blur.
- DOW-UAP-PR057a — "Spherical UAP in clouds" — 2023 Yellow Sea video shows a spherical object in clouds, giving the first non‑Middle‑East theater in the set and a chance to spot waves of mystery.
- DOW-UAP-PR096 — "HH11 03 July 2018 UAPs" — A 2018 CENTCOM clip, the oldest here, lets you compare vintage grain to modern HD and wonder why the chain‑of‑custody is always “unsubstantiated.”
- DOW-UAP-PR073 — IIR 1 655 S0053 23/Several Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Encountered In The Vicinity of Columbus OH" — 2022 Midwest US sighting breaks the overseas pattern, featuring a UAP over Columbus, Ohio – because even cornfields get their share of unexplained lights.
- DOW-UAP-PR099 — "Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP on 25SEP19 at 1715Z" — 2023 high‑resolution CENTCOM video of Sep‑19, 2021, at 1715Z; finally a crisp frame to test if you can actually make out something beyond a pixel.
