The Trump Administration has approved the unveiling of classified UFO sites to a prominent congressional advocate pushing for transparency on extraterrestrial matters.
Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison disclosed that he has been granted permission to explore secure locations, including the infamous Area 51, which has long been associated with UFOs and clandestine government initiatives.
During an appearance on the ALN Podcast, Burlison mentioned that his request to President Trump and his team encompassed visits to U.S. military installations and facilities where evidence purportedly indicates the presence of unidentified crafts, materials, bodies, or archives.
Burlison serves on the congressional oversight committee that is currently examining Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), more commonly referred to as UFOs.
While the U.S. government and the Pentagon officially maintain that no physical evidence of UFOs or alien life has been recovered, Congress has heard testimony from several whistleblowers alleging secret programs have kept the truth hidden.
Burlison has also asserted that President Trump has been thoroughly briefed on the existence of aliens, UFOs allegedly recovered by the military since the 1940s, and claims of alien-human hybrids residing on Earth today.
Now, as Trump insiders have allegedly leaked that the White House is planning to reveal what America knows about extraterrestrials by July, the UAP committee may soon have the physical proof of non-human intelligence in their hands.
The congressman revealed: ‘The White House has told the DoD to make it happen. The extent to which they’ve been involved is literally just saying to the Department of Defense that “we’re backing his request. Do what you can to make it happen.”‘

Over the years, multiple US military sites have been linked to non-human craft, including facilities, anonymous sources have said, that were housing crashed spaceships and experimental aircraft constructed 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 Center (AUTEC) in the Bahamas, and the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), home to Area 51.
‘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,’ Burlison said during the January 30 podcast.
The congressman noted that this facility outside the US was classified so he was unable to reveal its exact location, but it was on his list of places he had requested to visit as part of the committee’s investigation.
‘It’s going to involve a lot to make that happen, but that may be the final destination.’
Burlison said during the interview that he started as a UFO skeptic but was convinced these phenomena were real after listening to whistleblower David Grusch’s public interview shortly after entering Congress in early 2023.
The Missouri Republican reached out to Grusch, connected him to the House Oversight Committee, and helped facilitate the string of public hearings that have revealed shocking evidence of alien encounters from respected military officials.
Most of the current evidence has taken the form of images and videos of alleged non-human craft captured by both civilians and military personnel. Many have been leaked to the public after being classified by the Pentagon for years.

Burlison himself revealed never-before-seen video of a US military drone striking an orb-shaped UFO with a Hellfire missile during a September 2025 UAP hearing.
The shocking footage from October 30, 2024 revealed that the unidentified craft not only survived the missile strike, but continued to fly away at extreme speed as the 100-pound, air-to-ground precision weapon simply bounced off the UFO’s hull.
The congressman added that access to government records on UAP has been intentionally made difficult to obtain and convoluted to research, with some agencies allegedly failing to report their data properly to Congress.
‘We created government, and it’s not the right of any government to withhold from you and I the truth about reality,’ Burlison declared.
‘No government has the right to withhold from you and I that we might be alone or not alone in the universe. That is not their right. That is not classified. That’s a truth that humanity deserves to know.’
Burlison has previously claimed to have ‘a lead’ on new UFO whistleblowers. However, he said during the new interview that it’s been difficult to convince potential witnesses to risk losing their government clearances in retaliation, comparing these individuals to ‘guinea pigs’ in terms of how the Pentagon would respond.
