Official description
Formal letter on House Oversight Committee letterhead, dated March 31, 2026, addressed to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Requests the unredacted release of 46 named UAP videos held by the Department of War, identifying each by file title, incident date, geographic location, and military unit or callsign. Sets a response deadline of April 14, 2026.
Editor's context
Luna chairs the Federalization, Immigration, and Government Operations subcommittee and has been the most active congressional voice on UAP transparency in this term. The letter precedes the May 8, 2026 PURSUE Release 01 by roughly six weeks and is widely credited as having pressured the timing of that release. Several titles named in the letter correspond to videos that subsequently appeared in PURSUE Release 01, including DOW-UAP-PR series entries from CENTCOM and INDOPACOM.
In the margins
Transcribed redactions, stamps, and handwritten markings, the paratext of the file. Often the most human part of a declassified document, and worth reading on its own.
