Summary

Stephen Bassett is the only person registered as a lobbyist with the U.S. federal government specifically on UAP/ET disclosure - a status he has held through his Paradigm Research Group (PRG) since 1996. He organized the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure in April-May 2013 at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., which brought 40 international researchers and former government, military, and intelligence witnesses before six former members of the U.S. Congress across 30 hours of testimony over five days. Bassett frames UAP secrecy as a political problem requiring legislative action and has worked for three decades to move UAP transparency from fringe advocacy to mainstream congressional engagement.
