The Trump administration has allegedly authorised access to classified UFO facilities to one of Congress’s leading voices on disclosure.Missouri congressman Eric Burlison, who sits on the Congressional Oversight Committee investigating Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), revealed the development during an appearance on the ALN Podcast.The Republican lawmaker said his request to the President and White House officials covers visits to military sites where unidentified craft, recovered materials, biological remains and archival records are rumoured to be held.“The White House has told the Department of Defence (DoD) to make it happen,” Mr Burlison said.

“The extent to which they’ve been involved is literally just saying to the DoD that ‘we’re backing his request. Do what you can to make it happen’.”The Missouri lawmaker has emerged as a vocal advocate of greater transparency around alleged extraterrestrial activity.A number of US military installations have long been linked to claims involving non-human spacecraft.Anonymous sources have pointed to sites said to house crashed vehicles and experimental aircraft supposedly developed using reverse-engineered alien technology.These include Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, the Atlantic Undersea Testing and Evaluation Centre in the Bahamas, and the Nevada Test and Training Range, home to Area 51.During the podcast, recorded on January 30, Mr Burlison also referenced a classified site overseas.“There is reportedly an object that is not in this country that is so large it cannot be moved, that they’ve built an entire building around it,” he claimed.He confirmed the foreign facility remains on his requested itinerary, describing it as potentially “the final destination” of his investigation.UFO MYSTERIES – READ THE LATEST:Donald Trump ‘set to reveal UFO secrets’ in bombshell speech ‘ready to go’UFO mystery as ‘Dorito’ shaped craft spotted hovering above top-secret Area 51 base’There is life out there!’ Leading scientist insists aliens WILL be found by 2075Mr Burlison entered Congress in early 2023 as a sceptic of UFO claims but said his views shifted after hearing public testimony from whistleblower David Grusch.Following that testimony, he contacted Mr Grusch directly and helped connect him with the House Oversight Committee.He later assisted in organising a series of public hearings at which military personnel described encounters with unexplained aerial objects.Much of the evidence presented has involved video and imagery captured by civilian and military sources, some of which had been classified by the Pentagon for years before being leaked.At a UAP hearing in September 2025, Mr Burlison revealed previously unseen footage from 30 October 2024 that appeared to show a US military drone firing a Hellfire missile at an orb-shaped object.According to his account, the 100-pound precision weapon appeared to bounce off the craft before it accelerated away at high speed.Sources within the Trump administration have reportedly suggested the White House may publicly disclose America’s knowledge of extraterrestrial life by July, potentially presenting the UAP committee with physical evidence.Mr Burlison argued that the public has a right to such information.“No government has the right to withhold from you and I that we might be alone or not alone in the universe,” he said. “That is not their right. That is not classified. That’s a truth that humanity deserves to know.”The congressman said he has identified further potential whistleblowers but warned many remain reluctant to come forward.He said fears of losing security clearances have left some feeling like “guinea pigs” amid concerns over how the Pentagon might respond.Our Standards:
