Policy

Since 2023, the Sol Foundation has provided expert scientific and policy advice on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and their social ramifications to officials and components of national governments, including members and committees of the United States Senate and House of Representatives (among them the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee). We also have advised members and committees of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, the Parliament of Canda, the European Union Parliament, and the Parliament of Japan, as well as the European Union Commission and the Office of the Chief Science Adviser to Canada. Our executive leadership, advisory board, and key collaborators are composed of qualified experts on UAP from high tiers of academia, federal government, and significant private sector achievement.        

Currently, the Foundation’s expertise is shared directly with the executive branch of the United States government through the UAP Science Advisory Council, on which Sol’s cofounders, Dr. Garry Nolan and Dr. Peter Skafish, and our senior adviser Admiral (ret.) Timothy Gallaudet, PhD are members, along with our advisory board members, Dr. Avi Loeb, who leads the council, and Dr. Jacob Haqq-Misra. The UAP Science Advisory Council was established by the U.S. government to open UAP data to scientists outside government, and it advises the government’s UAP Governance Council through the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, with the support of the Department of War, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the White House.     

Our 2026 policy platform is comprehensive, and rests on support for congressional disclosure legislation, the UAP Disclosure Act, that is presently sponsored in the House of Representatives by a bipartisan group led by Representative Eric Burlison (R) and composed of Representatives Timothy Burchett (R), Andre Carson (D), Jared Moscowitz (D), and Anna Paulina Luna (R). Per the proposed legislation’s call for a “controlled disclosure” plan, we advocate for cautious, deliberate, and phased disclosure of likely government knowledge of so-called nonhuman intelligence (“NHI”), following a thorough collection and review of all relevant federal government and private contractor records by a review board of experts from government, academia, and civil society. 

Additionally, we strongly advocate for democratic governance of UAP and related issues by Congress, including through the establishment of a select congressional committee and thorough investigatory hearings. We also are proposing federally funded, unclassified research on the physics and material science of UAP, on reported human encounters and possible enculturation with NHI, and on the social, geopolitical, and theological ramifications of increased public awareness of UAP.
