Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says Congress has seen evidence suggesting the existence of “interdimensional beings,” telling podcaster Joe Rogan this week that credible witnesses have reported phenomena outside the boundaries of time and space.
“I think that they can actually operate through the time spaces that we currently have,” Luna said on Wednesday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. “And that’s not something that I came up with on my own. That’s based on stuff that we’ve seen. That’s based on information that we’ve been told.”
Luna, a close ally of President Donald Trump and a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has been part of a task force working to declassify federal records related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). In February, she and Rep. James Comer of Kentucky sent letters to senior U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, requesting a briefing on all UAP-related records.
The congresswoman told Rogan her confidence stems from testimony, photographs, and historical material she has reviewed, as well as from conversations with military pilots who claim to have had direct encounters with UAPs. “Based on the photos that I’ve seen, I’m very confident that there’s things out there that have not been created by mankind,” Luna said. While she said she has not personally seen a spacecraft or a “portal,” she described meeting F-15 pilots during her time as an airfield manager with the Portland International Guard who hinted at experiences with unexplained craft.
She also alleged that sightings are often downplayed or buried by the government. “There’s definitely something that I can tell you with confidence, that we don’t know how to explain currently,” she said, adding her belief that the U.S. has reverse-engineered technology from non-human sources.
Luna criticized the intelligence community for what she called a deliberate effort to stifle inquiry. “When you have thousands upon thousands of people throughout time that have reported something, to say that those people are crazy… that in itself is a disinformation campaign to get people to shut up about it,” she told Rogan. She argued there is a “protective complex” within government to shield the public from potentially unsettling truths.
Luna’s comments on Rogan’s podcast are definitely out of left field, but they’re not surprising. For the past few years there’s been a call for transparency from the U.S. government over information about UAPs. As recently as March the Pentagon was reporting about extraterrestrial spacecraft. While they claim that there’s no evidence of life from other planets buzzing through our airspace, several former military and intelligence officials have testified that they believe the government knows far more than it has acknowledged.
For Luna, the work ahead involves prying loose classified records and creating a safe reporting process for credible sightings. “We know the U.S. government has not exactly been clean… specifically to the topic of UFOs,” she said.
