01 / The unresolved record
Decades of questions.
A public right
to answers.
A free people cannot make informed decisions without access to the information its government possesses.
The official UFO record stretches back to the 1940s. RTK’s governing paper argues that decades of secrecy and unresolved allegations require independent scrutiny. Our task is to build a lawful, accountable process that can establish what happened—and what the public should know.
02 / Why oversight matters
Secrecy has a human cost.
History gives us reasons to insist on accountability. These documented cases are precedents for oversight, not proof of any particular UAP allegation.
1963 / Internal record
MKULTRA

2,023 U.S. adults surveyed; overall margin of error ±2.8 points. This question measures perceived government knowledge, not support for a particular bill or belief in an extraterrestrial explanation.
04 / Sustained pressure
Public will needs
an organization.
Attention rises and falls. Institutions remain. RTK’s strategy joins policy, grassroots organizing, and advocacy to sustain pressure across news cycles.
$139M+
Military-industry lobbying spending in 2023.
Taxpayers for Common Sense / October 2024
Industry-wide lobbying, across its policy priorities. This figure does not measure spending against UAP disclosure.
05 / The standard we’re fighting for
A series of files
is not disclosure.
RTK calls for a complete process: release the information, establish the history, protect cooperation, and change the structures that allowed secrecy to endure.
01 /
Information
Release the record. Make UAP-related information accessible, with context and independent review.
02 /
Reckoning
Establish an honest accounting of what was concealed, how decisions were made, and who was affected.
03 /
Reconciliation
Create a fair path for people to come forward, contribute to the record, and receive appropriate protections.
04 /
Reform
Build lasting oversight and accountability so transparency survives changes in political leadership.
06 / On the record
