Global Disclosure Day, Then and Now
Global Disclosure Day (GDD) was born out of Citizens for Disclosure, a grassroots initiative dedicated to promoting government transparency regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). The first GDD, held on October 20, 2024, coincided with a historic milestone: the deadline set by the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 118-31, Sections 1841–1843), requiring Executive Branch agencies to identify, collect, and transmit UAP-related records to the National Archives’ new UAP Records Collection.
Just before that date, however, the National Archives issued Memo AC 04.2025, extending the deadline until September 30, 2025, for agencies to complete the transmission of responsive records.
While GDD 2024 was built around the original October deadline, GDD 2025 is now focused on the bigger picture: the status of disclosure itself. This means not only discussing the September 30, 2025, transmission deadline, but also the future of disclosure.
A Unifying Event for Humanity
At its core, Global Disclosure Day is more than just an event. It is:
Unifying: bringing together citizens, researchers, policymakers, and thought leaders worldwide.
Empowering: giving everyday people a voice in one of the most consequential issues of our time.
Educational: ensuring that facts, timelines, and implications are clearly understood by all.
By coming together, we can ensure that disclosure is not left to the few, but shared by the many—for the betterment of humanity and our planet.
Global Disclosure Day 2025 will carry forward this mission, shining a light on truth and inviting citizens everywhere to join the movement.
A Virtual Event
To meet the moment, Global Disclosure Day 2025 will deliver an online experience beyond disjointed presentations about UFOs/UAP, ET/NHI, and Disclosure.
A mix of partially recorded and live broadcast will present a diverse mix of subjects, speakers, and contributors to ensure a dynamic, engaging event that informs and inspires.
