In April 2024, U.S. Representative Eric Burlison of Missouri made a White House-approved visit to Naval Air Station Patuxent River (Pax River) in Maryland to examine a facility associated with claims of recovered non-human materials. Two sources confirmed Burlison’s verification of a hangar previously named in congressional testimony by former Pentagon official Lue Elizondo. Elizondo had alleged that this hangar was constructed to facilitate the transfer of advanced materials between aerospace contractor Lockheed Martin and businessman Robert Bigelow, although the transfer was reportedly blocked by the CIA. Burlison noted the hangar was empty during the visit, a result he had anticipated due to prior concerns that materials might be moved before congressional scrutiny.
Burlison’s inspection also included observation of a private runway and a crane allegedly designed to support material transfers by air and river. Access to the site was arranged informally during budget negotiations, rather than by formal subpoena, and a White House official accompanied Burlison, describing the visit positively. The findings were reported back to the White House, and Burlison indicated further visits are planned. Concurrently, Burlison and other members of Congress sent a detailed letter to senior government officials, including the Secretaries of State, Defense, Energy, and the Director of National Intelligence, requesting release of specific documents related to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Bipartisan support was evident, with signatures from representatives across party lines, including members of the Intelligence Committee. Meanwhile, Congressional UAP Caucus co-chair Tim Burchett confirmed discussions with former President Trump about UAP disclosure, emphasizing that classified evidence seen by Burchett would be significant for public understanding.
This visit to Pax River marks a notable development in congressional efforts to investigate government-held materials linked to unidentified aerial phenomena, reflecting growing legislative interest and increasing transparency initiatives. The interactions underscore a broader governmental pivot toward addressing UAPs not solely as security mysteries but as subjects of formal inquiry and documentation. The integration of bipartisan congressional requests with executive branch cooperation suggests ongoing attempts to unravel longstanding questions about advanced aerospace materials and their origins.
