Ruben Gallego

Ruben Gallego, born in 1979, is an American politician, Iraq War veteran, and former U.S. Representative from Arizona (2015-2025), now serving as U.S. Senator. A Marine Corps combat veteran, he has been a key advocate for government transparency on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). In 2021, Gallego sponsored amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), establishing a permanent Pentagon office to replace the temporary UAP Task Force, mandating centralized reporting, analysis from intelligence sources, annual congressional briefings, and rapid response teams for sightings. Cosponsored by bipartisan senators, this marked Congress's first major UFO legislation, emphasizing national security over fringe theories. No known publications or personal testimony on UAP exist.
