Every formal hearing the U.S. Congress has held on unidentified anomalous phenomena since the modern UAP record opened in 2017, with named witnesses, transcripts, and primary-source links.
Congressional UAP hearings are where the U.S. record converges into a single, citable, sworn-testimony format. Since 2022, the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation; the House Oversight Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs; the Senate Armed Services Committee; and the Senate Intelligence Committee have all held formal hearings.
Notable sessions tracked here include the May 17, 2022 House Intelligence hearing (the first congressional UAP hearing in over fifty years), the July 26, 2023 House Oversight hearing featuring David Grusch, David Fravor, and Ryan Graves, and the November 13, 2024 'Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Eyes on the Sky, Secrets in the Dark' hearing.
The Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) track is distinct from the House hearings in two ways. First, the April 19, 2023 SASC Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities hearing — chaired by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), with then-AARO director Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick as the principal witness — was conducted largely in closed session, with only a brief open portion. It remains the only standalone SASC UAP hearing on the record. Second, much of SASC's UAP work moves through the annual National Defense Authorization Act rather than standalone hearings: § 1683 of the FY2022 NDAA (the legal definition of UAP and the AOIMSG framework that became AARO), the Schumer–Rounds UAP Disclosure Act amendment to the FY2024 NDAA, and successive AARO reauthorizations.

U.S. material is the single largest body in the public UAP record, but it isn't the only one. France's GEIPAN has run a transparent case database since 1977; the UK MoD released ~60,000 pages between 2008 and 2017; Japan's evolving track is the program currently moving fastest in 2026. Every state-run UAP-investigation body with a public archive — fifteen countries to date — is catalogued in one place.
