H.R. 5231, the Safe Airspace for Americans Act, was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on September 9, 2025 by Mr. Garcia of California with three cosponsors. The bill would require the FAA Administrator to set up procedures for civilian aviation personnel to report, archive and investigate unidentified anomalous phenomena incidents and to share them with the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office. It also protects reporters' medical and airmen certificates, bars reprisals, and defines UAP and transmedium objects.
