Rep. Mike Gallagher wants to set up a special reporting mechanism for soldiers, contractors and others who want to report suspected UFO activity, a hot-button issue for Congress of late.

The office would also receive reports about “any government or government contractor activity or program related to unidentified aerial phenomena.
