Well before she was elected to Congress, Anna Paulina Luna had a concerning conversation with an Air Force pilot about an ominous airspace encounter he’d had. “He had basically implied it was a UAP,” Luna told VF’s Dan Adler. “Couldn’t talk about it. He was really kind of spooked.” Years later, Luna is leading the charge on Capitol Hill to release classified government records related to such unidentified aerial phenomena, along with the files on JFK, MLK, RFK, and Jeffrey Epstein. Adler spoke to Luna following the recent release of the first batch of UFO files about her indirect path to politics and why she thinks there’s so much interest in the prospect of alien life.

Forever Cher

BY KRISTA SMITH

“She’s a chameleon, but you never lose her. You put a blond wig on her and you still see Cher,” says Bob Mackie.

As the longest-reigning diva in show business turns 80, we revisit the icon’s December 2010 cover story, where she opened up about her struggles with Sonny, their child’s transition, and the reason she’s envious of Meryl Streep.

Even the most hardened cynical citizens of the five boroughs can’t help but feel a pang of hope—even just a glimmer of optimism—about our beloved New York Knicks. Tonight at Madison Square Garden, “the World’s Most Famous Arena,” Gotham’s starting five goes to war against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. We’ve been here before, yes…but after a dominant four-game sweep of the 76ers, it feels real. The Knicks are four wins away from their first NBA Finals since 1999.

Ahead of tip-off tonight, I wrote about Celebrity Row, that strip of courtside seats where team owner James Dolan personally plunks down a wildly unpredictable combination of celebrities. There’s often no through line except the part where they bleed orange and blue. One game’s lineup: Tracy Morgan, Tina Fey, Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Spike Lee.

Elsewhere at Vanity Fair, we’ve got Darryn King’s epic interview with David Koepp, the writer behind Steven Spielberg’s aliens-on-earth blockbuster Disclosure Day. And from the archives, revisit Buzz Bissinger’s profile of Mark Fuhrman, the LAPD detective at the center of the O.J. Simpson trial, who died this week.
