Long before she entered public office, Luna built a public profile as a model featured in Maxim’s popular “Hot 100” list, while also serving as an airfield management specialist in the U.S. Air Force, where she first heard firsthand accounts of unexplained aerial encounters from fellow service members who were instructed not to discuss the sightings publicly. That experience laid the groundwork for her policy focus on UAP transparency once she took office. After securing a seat on the House Oversight Committee in 2023, Luna emerged as a leading voice in the push for full UAP disclosure, co-sponsoring the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act, which would require the federal government to declassify all UAP-related records more than 25 years old, with narrow exceptions for sensitive national security information. She also played a central role in organizing the historic July 2023 congressional hearing featuring intelligence community whistleblower David Grusch, who testified under oath that the U.S. government has been operating a secret program to recover and reverse-engineer non-human spacecraft for decades, and has retaliated against officials who attempted to disclose the program’s existence. Luna’s unapologetic advocacy for UAP transparency has won her cross-partisan support from UAP advocates across the political spectrum, even as critics dismiss her focus on UFO files as a distraction from pressing domestic policy issues including inflation, healthcare access, and climate change. She has repeatedly pushed back against those critiques, noting that UAP sightings pose a clear national security risk if they are adversarial foreign aircraft, and that the public has a right to full transparency if the government holds evidence of non-human intelligent life. As of 2024, Luna has continued to lead efforts to compel intelligence agencies to turn over classified UAP records to Congress, cementing her status as the most recognizable political figure associated with the push for full UFO disclosure.
