A Missouri congressman is on an out of this world mission to expose the UFO information he believes might might be stored in military bases across the US and beyond.
Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) has already toured one classified installation and hopes to visit at least four more around the country that are linked to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena crash retrieval programs.
The former financial analyst and Missouri state legislator was first sworn into Congress in 2023, and became invested in the issue after Air Force whistleblower David Grusch testified under oath that the US government has secretly retrieved non-human craft and biological material for decades.
“But, I didn’t believe it. And I’m still a skeptic until I see it. I’m from Missouri — you’re going to have to show me. I don’t think the whistleblowers are lying, but I just haven’t seen the same evidence that these people had,” Burlison told The Post.
The 49-year-old followed the trail of information from UFO whistleblowers and now finds himself on a Department of War-organized tour of secret military bases that are long rumored to be associated with UFO crash materials.
“I’ve been to one base,” Burlison said, of a recent trip but declining to name the location. “They were very open on this first tour. Even said that this was kind of a test, because they had never really done this before.”
An unofficial, informal request to a White House aide in 2025 resulted in Burlison being granted permission from the Department of War to go on the search of the secured locations.
“That location was a low-hanging fruit location. I knew that there wasn’t any activity currently happening, but what I wanted to do was to get eyes on the location so that I could get context for the narrative,” he said, adding, “Just because there’s not an object there any more doesn’t mean that the facilities don’t exist.”
Four other secretive US military bases are on his list and Burlison acknowledged that federal employees “very well could be moving things knowing that I’m coming on specific dates.”
One of the purported bases is on foreign soil, reportedly built around an alien craft so enormous it “can’t be moved.”
“I’ve heard publicly and behind doors in a SCIF that there is an object in a foreign country that is too big to move,” said the congressman of classified backroom briefings from intelligence agencies.
“I think it had been a crash that had been there for quite some time, but I don’t how long.”
But plans to visit that undisclosed location are currently on hold.
“I want more evidence before I go on a wild goose chase in another country,” he said.
In 2025, Burlison orchestrated the release of drone radar footage of a Hellfire missile striking a UFO — with the object barely responding to the high velocity impact. He claimed to see other video not made available to the public, of silver, basketball-sized orbs flying through the air.
But even those videos are not enough to convince the Burlison.
“Until there is evidence, its all just narrative,” he said.
