Pentagon Seeks New Secrecy Power
Pentagon proposes legislation to withhold unclassified records from public access
The Pentagon is seeking a new secrecy power to withhold unclassified records from public-access laws, according to a recent proposal, as reported by CBS News, which describes the effort as an attempt to better protect sensitive military information from foreign adversaries. This move comes as the department has been under scrutiny for its handling of sensitive information, including the release of declassified UAP files and photos, which has sparked renewed interest in the topic of unidentified aerial phenomena, with some cases involving accounts from Navy pilots recalling UFO encounters. The proposal has raised concerns about government transparency, and the issue is being closely followed by major news outlets, including edition.cnn.com, which provides up-to-date coverage of the latest developments.
