A Florida congresswoman who leads a House task force on government secrecy is defending eyebrow-raising remarks she made on one of the country's most-listened-to podcasts, claiming she has seen evidence of "interdimensional beings" capable of moving outside of time and space.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) made the comments during an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, where she told Rogan that lawmakers have seen evidence of "interdimensional beings." "They call them interdimensional beings," Luna told Rogan. "I think that they can actually operate through the time-spaces that we currently have. 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 leads the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's task force aimed at declassifying federal secrets, and said her interest in unidentified anomalous phenomena - or UAPs, the government's preferred term for what was once called UFOs - deepened while working as an airfield manager at Portland International Guard, where she met F-15 pilots who reported likely encounters.
When pressed for specifics by Rogan, Luna acknowledged she has not seen a portal or a spacecraft herself: "Have I seen a portal open? No. Have I seen a spaceship personally? No. Have I seen evidence of this? Yes. Have I seen photo documentation of aircraft that I believe were not made by mankind? Yes."
Luna accused the intelligence community of gatekeeping UAP-related information, arguing that dismissing thousands of historical reports as delusional amounts to a disinformation campaign designed to silence discussion. She also said she received pushback from the Pentagon and the Secretary of Defense when requesting information be shared with Congress.
In February, Luna and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) sent letters to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe requesting a briefing on all UAP-related records in their possession, with the stated goal of delivering transparency to the American people.
Luna also pointed to whistleblower reports and incidents at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, accusing defense contractors and unelected officials of hiding critical technology and restricting access even for elected representatives.
The remarks drew widespread reaction across the political spectrum, ranging from serious engagement on UAP disclosure to outright mockery. Luna acknowledged the topic can seem far-fetched: "When you talk about the interdimensional aspect of these things preexisting outside of what we currently know as our own dimension, that stuff can kind of all sound crazy," she told Rogan. "At the end of the day, my job as an investigator is to receive all the information and decipher it."
No official government agencies have confirmed or corroborated Luna's claims.
