Anna Paulina Luna
Republican Representative from Florida; leads the declassification task force
2023– · Congress · Politician
Republican Representative from Florida, she questioned Grusch at the 2023 hearing and Elizondo at the 2024 one. Since 2025 she has chaired the Oversight Committee's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, which on September 9, 2025 held the only UAP hearing of the 2025-2026 legislative term. In 2026 she asked the Pentagon for 46 UAP videos and on June 9 led the questions at Grusch's press conference.
- Key claims
- Maintains that evidence of technologies beyond current capabilities has been shown to Congress and that there was a cover-up of activities at Eglin Air Force Base.
- Considers Grusch a credible witness and has called him an excellent adviser to Burlison.
- Accused Kirkpatrick of lying and rejected as false the WSJ's investigation into “Yankee Blue.”
- Controversies
- Several deadlines she announced (closed-door briefings and a hearing in spring 2025, the videos by April 14, 2026) were not met.
- Today
- Chairs the declassification task force; after the missed April 14 deadline she spoke of possible subpoenas, and some of the requested videos came out in the May 22, 2026 PURSUE tranche.
