'The Guardian' reports that if the truth about UFOs really is out there, the United States government isn't ready to talk about it yet.

Despite promises of more transparency, Congress has acted to control the flow of information that is made public regarding UFOs.

On December 14, Congress stripped measures regarding UFO records from a massive defense policy bill signed into law with bipartisan support.

Those measures would have created a presidential commission to review records of UFO incidents.

It also would have ordered the Department of Defense to declassify , "records relating to publicly known sightings of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP).".

'The Guardian' reports that provisions were included in the bill that ordered the National Archives to collect reports of , "UAPs, technologies of unknown origin and nonhuman intelligence.".

However, the provisions also grant various government departments the authority to keep those records secret.

It means that declassification of UAP records will be largely up to the same entities that have blocked and obfuscated their disclosure for decades, Chuck Schumer, Democratic Senate leader, via 'The Guardian'.

The legislation comes following whistleblower claims that the government knows more about UFOs than it is willing to admit.

Those claims also accuse the government of withholding evidence of "non-human beings" gathered through decades of top-secret programs
