This is probably more of a case of Washington insiders realizing they were passing chances at corruption.

Essentially Skunkworks style projects of other countries' left out of their hands for trading favors over access, and/in insider trading over knowing who's getting access.

So in that case, the senators here are trying to make public the most classified of information because they want to believe in little green men?

Maybe I misread your comment. Do you mean that their “constituents” didn’t get access to this info so make it public?

It's not little green men. It's access to other countries crashed tech, and analysis of that crashed tech. Even if it's not for reverse engineering, the capability analysis is still a nice payday for a well connected enough company.

The big deal is where those connections would be required/maintained after such a bill (a special committee in congress, vs. three letter agency insiders).

-- Make yourself familiar with the latest developments [0], such that you have something concrete to relate to.

-- If you are ready to dive deeper i recommended the books of David M. Jacobs [1]. Read his three books in order. If you are in a hurry, read only the latest book. Be prepared for a surprise.

-- I also like Dr. Steven Greer [2]. Some argue that he is a bit overconfident, but overall he is excellent.
