Overview
Danny Sheehan, chief counsel for the New Paradigm Institute, is calling for a 60-day nationwide mobilization focused on advancing congressional action related to unidentified flying objects, or unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). In a recent video statement, Sheehan urged supporters to contact their elected representatives and press Congress to make disclosure and oversight a legislative priority.
The initiative, as described in the video summary, does not announce the release of specific documents or present new evidence concerning alleged nonhuman technology. Instead, it focuses on the political and constitutional framework surrounding government-held UAP information. Sheehan argues that Congress should play a more assertive role in determining how investigations and potential disclosures proceed.
A Push for Congressional Oversight
A central element of Sheehan’s message is his appeal to the 119th Congress, which he describes as operating under Republican control. He contends that lawmakers from both parties should exercise their oversight authority rather than allow decisions about UAP-related information to remain concentrated within the executive branch.
Sheehan’s stated concern is that the Executive Branch currently has too much influence over the “pace and scope” of UAP discovery and disclosure. His proposed strategy would place Congress at the center of the process through hearings, legislation, records requests and other oversight mechanisms. The objective, according to the video summary, is to establish a more systematic and publicly accountable approach to government transparency.
The 60-Day Mobilization
The campaign would take place over a defined 60-day period, during which supporters are encouraged to engage directly with congressional offices. That could include contacting representatives, requesting public positions on disclosure legislation and urging lawmakers to support formal investigations into government UAP programs and records.
The New Paradigm Institute presents the effort as a coordinated political campaign rather than a single legislative proposal. Its success would depend on whether activists can generate sufficient public attention to persuade lawmakers that UAP transparency warrants sustained congressional action. The video summary does not identify specific bills, committees or legislative deadlines connected to the mobilization.
Concerns About Partisanship
Sheehan also warned that the opportunity for action could narrow if UAP disclosure becomes increasingly associated with one political party. He argued that the issue should be treated as a matter of constitutional authority, government accountability and the public’s right to information, rather than as a partisan cause.
That appeal reflects a broader challenge facing UAP-related policy. Although lawmakers from both major parties have expressed interest in reports involving unidentified objects and military encounters, disagreements remain over the extent of government secrecy, the handling of classified information and the evidentiary standards required for public disclosure.
Background and Context
Sheehan is a civil rights attorney known for work on high-profile matters including the Pentagon Papers and the Silkwood case. He now serves as chief counsel for the New Paradigm Institute, an organization advocating greater transparency regarding UAPs and related government activity.
The proposed mobilization is ultimately aimed at securing a government-led disclosure process subject to congressional oversight. Whether it produces new legislation or public records remains uncertain. For now, the initiative represents another effort to move the UAP debate away from speculation and toward institutional review, documented evidence and formal accountability.
