UAP Whistleblower Protection Act

This bill protects people who work for the federal government when they speak up about the use of taxpayer money to study or test unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) material. It adds this topic to existing whistleblower protections, so reporting it would be a “protected disclosure” and workers shouldn’t be punished for raising concerns.

It extends these protections across several parts of the government, including federal civilian employees and the FBI, and it also covers the military, Defense Department contractors, other federal contractors, and the intelligence community.

• Who is affected: Federal civilian employees, FBI personnel, service members, Defense Department contractors, other federal contractors, and intelligence community personnel.
• What changes: Speaking up about taxpayer funds used to evaluate or research UAP material becomes a protected whistleblower disclosure.
• What this means: Workers can report this issue without fear of job-related punishment.
