Nancy Mace

Representative Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) emerged as a prominent political voice in UAP disclosure advocacy beginning in late 2024. As chair of the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, Mace has made government transparency and UAP declassification central to her oversight work.

Congressional Leadership on Disclosure

On November 13, 2024, Mace co-convened a major joint House hearing titled "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth" with Rep. Glenn Grothman, chair of the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs. The hearing directly examined the Department of Defense's reluctance to appropriately declassify material on UAPs and became a pivotal moment in congressional disclosure efforts.

During the hearing, Mace entered the Immaculate Constellation document into the Congressional record—a 12-page whistleblower report alleging an unacknowledged Special Access Program through the Department of Defense responsible for consolidating UAP imagery and surveillance data since 2017.

Transparency Advocacy

Mace has argued forcefully that government overclassification of UAP-related data, including reports from military and commercial pilots' close encounters with unidentified anomalous phenomena, only fuels public skepticism and undermines faith in government institutions. In a striking rhetorical challenge, she questioned "Are they keeping the president of the United States in the dark?" regarding UAP information compartmentalization.

Mace has also claimed that certain individuals within the government sought to prevent the November 2024 hearing from occurring, fearing what disclosures might emerge. This framing positions UAP transparency as a fundamental government accountability issue rather than purely a scientific or defense matter.

Ongoing Role

Through 2025, Mace continued her involvement in UAP disclosure advocacy, fielding new questions from whistleblowers and responding to fresh allegations about congressional statements and classified programs. Her persistent, public-facing approach has made her one of the few prominent Republican voices consistently pushing for UAP declassification and transparency.
