Connecticut Appropriations Committee Hears HB 5422 to Fund a UConn UAP Study with Interagency Collaboration (Report Due July 1, 2027)

To the point

Rep. Joe Hoxha’s HB 5422 would require UConn to study unidentified aerial phenomena and deliver a report by July 1, 2027, with collaboration from DESPP, DEEP, the Office of Military Affairs, and a UFO‑investigation nonprofit, and a $300,000 budget request for a pilot study and faculty, with Kylene Perras of UConn outlining how it would be spent, while DESPP Commissioner Ronnell A. Higgins cautioned about access to sensitive data and critics questioned the funding, aiming to centralize UAP research alongside Harvard’s Galileo Project and other universities.
