Efforts have been underway in recent months to make the process of reporting and accessing data on UFO sightings easier and more transparent - especially for pilots and military personnel who have historically struggled to report such encounters for fear of ridicule.The proposed new UFO reporting system would aim to enable "immediate sharing" of such data.

There was one caveat, however, in that data pertaining to restricted military or government projects would most likely remain classified and would not be made available for access.

As things stand, the amendment seems to have passed with little opposition, however whether or not the proposed system will actually be put into practice remains to be seen.
