US, Russian parliaments may hold joint meeting to discuss UFOs

Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican member of the US Congress and head of the Federal Secrecy Disclosure Task Force, stated that Congress is preparing to organize a meeting with members of the Russian parliament to discuss unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

Appearing last week on the NewsNation channel with host Chris Cuomo, Luna said, “We look forward to having a bipartisan meeting with [members of] the Russian parliament soon.”

Luna stated that she had “recently” contacted representatives of the Russian Federation government to ask if they had any information to share on the subject.

However, the congresswoman did not provide details about the format, date, or location of the potential meeting.

Neither the US Congress nor the Russian parliament, the Duma, has publicly confirmed that such talks are taking place.

Soviet research from the Cold War era on the agenda

Luna’s statements came just before a hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) scheduled for September 9 by the House Oversight Subcommittee.

During these hearings, KLAS-TV reporter and investigative journalist George Knapp claimed that the USSR had attempted to comprehensively study UFO evidence during the Cold War, conducting special research for this purpose from at least 1978 to 1988.

According to Knapp, based on “documents and interviews” he obtained in Russia in 1993, the USSR Ministry of Defense collected “thousands of reports in an effort to understand the nature of the technologies displayed by UFOs (unpredictable movements, maneuverability, and sudden turns).”

Previously, Luna’s office had informed RIA Novosti that preparations were underway for a parliamentary meeting between the US and Russia in a “neutral zone” but did not specify the topic of the meeting.

Russian parliamentarians had also mentioned the possibility of negotiations with their American counterparts following the August 15 meeting in Alaska between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Hearings on UFOs have been ongoing in the US Congress for several years. A report published by US intelligence agencies in 2021 stated that some events in the atmosphere could not be explained.

However, it is known that military officials are more concerned with potential new types of weapons from Russia and China than with extraterrestrial civilizations.

In 2022, a department was established within the Pentagon to explain anomalous phenomena not only in the air but in all domains.
