Jordan Flowers on NewsNation: Disclosure Forum 2026 Recap

Executive Director Jordan Flowers joined NewsNation’s Hena Doba following the Disclosure Forum 2026 to discuss what the event signaled for UAP transparency, congressional oversight, and the broader public demand for answers.

Flowers described the forum as a watershed moment, noting that it was held in the Kennedy Caucus Room, a Senate hearing room associated with major moments of congressional oversight and public accountability. He emphasized that multiple members of Congress attended or participated, including lawmakers who have pushed for UAP transparency and legislation such as the UAP Disclosure Act.

Whistleblower Protections and Congressional Pressure

The interview addressed remarks from Representative Anna Paulina Luna about efforts to secure immunity or protection for individuals who say they have sensitive information related to UAP programs. Flowers said the idea did not come as a surprise, explaining that stronger protection for potential witnesses has been part of the broader disclosure conversation for some time.

Flowers said one of the forum’s goals was to make a clear case to the White House, Congress, and the public that getting to the bottom of the issue may require careful consideration of amnesty, protection from nondisclosure agreements, and other mechanisms that allow people with relevant information to come forward lawfully.

Historical Records and the 1952 Washington Events

The segment also covered Representative Eric Burlison’s statements about an alleged 1950s-era briefing recording connected to UAP incidents over Washington, D.C. Flowers praised Burlison’s focus on locating and obtaining historical records, including materials that may sit outside ordinary agency archives.

Flowers said the reported existence of such records reinforces a central point of the forum: the federal government and associated research institutions have treated the issue seriously for decades, and there may be additional historical material that has not yet been released to the public.

Public Demand for Transparency

NewsNation also highlighted Disclosure Foundation polling showing broad public support for more information about UAP. Flowers said the Foundation has taken those findings to Congress to show that support for transparency crosses party lines and does not depend on whether someone holds a particular view about the origin of UAP.

The interview closed on a simple point: on this issue, as with many others, the American public wants to be told the truth.
