Anna Paulina Luna

Anna Paulina Luna is a member of the US House of Representatives for Florida who has taken a leading role in congressional hearings and legislative efforts on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.

Congressional Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Caucus (principal) · US Representative (Florida)

Tim Burchett, Matt Gaetz, Anna Paulina Luna and Eric Burlison visited USA, Florida, Eglin Air Force Base to seek answers about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).¹ Gaetz had sought a briefing about the incident at Eglin and brought Burchett and Luna with him.² Burchett said that without Gaetz’s involvement, he, Luna and Burlison would still be at Eglin trying to get answers about UAP.³

Luna was one of several members waived onto the House Subcommittee by Glenn Grothman to participate in the House Hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (2023-07-26), alongside Burchett, Gaetz, Burlison, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Andrew Ogles.⁴ According to the hearing’s record, Representatives Luna, Burlison, Gaetz, Burchett, James Comer, Ogles, Nick Langworthy, Jamie Raskin and Ocasio-Cortez were present.⁵ Grothman thanked Burchett and Luna for bringing UAP to the attention of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.⁶

During the hearing, Luna described how, while serving as an active-duty service member working on an airfield, she had spoken with pilots who feared coming forward about UAP sightings, worried about retribution or being taken off flight status.⁷ Members of United States Congress were denied access to a classified briefing in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility ahead of the hearing, due to the requirements needed to grant David Charles Grusch temporary clearance to testify.⁸ Grusch has knowledge of classified information.⁹

Luna also cited polling data during the hearing: she said one survey found that 68 percent of Americans believe the government is hiding information about UAP and is not being honest about what it knows,¹⁰ and another found that nearly half of Americans believe the federal government is doing a very bad or somewhat bad job of dealing with reports of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sightings.¹¹ Over 20 percent of Americans have reported having seen UFOs or UAP.¹² Luna said that on 2023-04-19, Sean Kirkpatrick, then head of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, stated that he had not found any evidence of unidentified anomalous phenomena.¹³

At the 2024 United States congressional hearing on UAPs (13 November), Luna asked Luis Elizondo whether it is likely that non-human biologics piloting aircraft are connected via a mind-body connection.¹⁴ Luna has since chaired a congressional hearing on Project MKUltra (MKUltra).¹⁵ As one of the principals of the Congressional Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Caucus, Luna has pushed for the disclosure of approximately 46 videos requested from the Defense Department.¹⁶ As of 2026-08-10, it remained unknown whether Luna would gain access to those videos.¹⁷ Phil McGraw has discussed the UAP subject with Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Burchett and Luna.¹⁸
