This past July, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was part of a bipartisan group of senators who wrote up legislation requiring the United States to collect and publicize records about UFOs or UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena) as they’re now called.

I’ve been updating this page every week or two, whenever a new, fun, cute, cool photo or video pops onto my pixels.
