Congress Cleared To Enter Secret UFO Craft Facilities

Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri has confirmed he received White House and Pentagon approval to visit the classified facilities where whistleblowers allege recovered non-human craft are being stored and studied.

According to Burlison, the request covered locations where witnesses report reverse-engineering programs, stored vehicles, and biological material connected to those programs. He named Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Mitre, and EG&G as suspected contractors involved. The sites fall under the authority of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with some reportedly housing embedded intelligence agencies alongside private contractors.

Burlison has noted a key structural limit on his access. As a member of the House Oversight Committee, he holds a top-level security clearance but is not on the intelligence or armed services committees, which means he cannot independently enter a SCIF — a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, where classified conversations take place — without permission from committee chairs he does not sit on. That limitation is precisely why the White House approval for direct facility visits carries significance beyond a routine congressional briefing.

The question of what those facilities contain is supported by credentialed testimony. Dr. James Lacatski, who managed the DIA’s AAWSAP program — the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program — published a book in 2023 that cleared the Department of Defense’s security review process, known as DOPSR, before release. In that book, Lacatski stated that the United States was in possession of a craft of unknown origin and had successfully accessed its interior. He later confirmed that he personally observed the craft, describing it as having a streamlined aerodynamic shape with no intakes, no exhaust, no wings, and no control surfaces. When asked whether he saw it fly, he said yes. Dr. Eric Davis, an astrophysicist who served as a scientific advisor to the same program, stated at a congressional briefing in May 2025 that recovered craft are not of this Earth, adding that the world’s major powers have all experienced crashes and recovered vehicles.

Burlison also referenced a detail shared with him in a secure setting — a friendly allied nation reportedly holds an object so large that a building had to be constructed around it, with workers inside unaware of what the structure conceals. He noted that if he is denied access to that specific location while being approved for all others, the denial itself will function as evidence. Steven Greer says it is in South Korea but Burlison has yet to comment on the location. 

Before gaining any official access, Burlison had already made public a piece of footage that speaks to the urgency behind his requests. On October 30, 2024, a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone tracked an unidentified object off the coast of Yemen. A second drone fired a hellfire missile at the object. The missile made contact. The object kept flying. Burlison received the footage through an anonymous dead drop and released it publicly at a House Oversight Committee hearing on September 9, 2025, using the constitutional protection of the speech and debate clause to do so.

Luis Elizondo, from AATIP — the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program — testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee in November 2024 that the U.S. is in possession of UAP technologies, as are some adversaries, and described a multi-decade secretive arms race funded by misallocated taxpayer dollars and hidden from elected representatives. The site visit now approved for Burlison represents what may be the first direct physical congressional oversight of the facilities these officials have described.
