UAP Whistleblower Protection Act

This bill, known as the "UAP Whistleblower Protection Act," significantly expands existing whistleblower protections across various federal sectors. Its primary purpose is to safeguard federal civilian employees, FBI personnel, Department of Defense members and contractors, federal civilian contractors, and members of the Intelligence Community who disclose information related to the use of federal taxpayer funds for evaluating or researching unidentified anomalous phenomenon material . The legislation achieves this by amending several sections of the United States Code, including Title 5, Title 10, Title 41, and the National Security Act of 1947. These amendments specifically add the disclosure of federal funds used for UAP material research as a protected category, ensuring that individuals reporting such activities are shielded from adverse personnel actions or other forms of reprisal. This aims to promote transparency and accountability regarding government expenditures on these specific phenomena.
