After no July SCIF briefings, Burlison predicting "good public [UAP] hearing" in Sept.
Jul 24, 2025
Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) — Member, Congressional UAP Caucus, Oversight Committee & Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets
Ask a Pol asks:
You couldn’t get any witnesses lined up in a SCIF ahead of Congress’ monthslong August recess?
Key Burlison:
“No, no. We didn’t have anything lined up,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively tells Ask a Pol.
Is that disappointing? Like, do you think in September we’re going to see action?
“Yeah. I do,” Burlison says. “I think that we’re working towards having a good public hearing in September.”
Burlison on firing of fmr. AARO Deputy Director Tim Phillips
What do you make of former Deputy Director of AARO Tim Phillips being fired from ODNI — or Office of the Director of National Intelligence — after he did a lot of UAP media in recent weeks?
“That was interesting,” Burlison says. “I’m not sure what that was about.”
Are you going to reach out to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on why he was let go?
“Yeah. I would love to like just make contact with Tulsi in general,” Burlison says. “About this and a lot of other topics.”
Caught our ear:
“I’m not sure what that was about,” Burlison tells us of Phillips’ firing.

From Steven Greenstreet:
“Tim Phillips has been fired effective today.
Phillips, the former Deputy Director of AARO, the Pentagon's "UFO office", recently did a handful of public interviews (exclusively first with me) regarding his discoveries while at AARO.
He was then contacted by ODNI counter intelligence, ordering him to stop doing interviews without DOD approval until his official retirement in October 2025.
But today, Phillips received a termination letter from ODNI HR - the DNI terminated his Federal Government employment effective today, July 18th.
No details were provided and no appeal was allowed.
Phillips states, "I was surprised by this action but senior executives serve at the pleasure of the President.
After 45 years of honorable military and government service, often in very dangerous places, I thought I would have an opportunity to discuss why I was terminated."”

“Don’t come forward:” UAP whistleblower Mike Herrera issues grim warning to insiders
Last updated: 24 July 2025
A former US Marine with insider knowledge of UAP programs warns potential whistleblowers to think twice before stepping forward – saying the personal and financial costs often far outweigh any official support.
There’s a circular nature to UAP whistleblowing.
First, you whistleblow. You get momentary attention but quickly become sidelined and end up on the fringes. Then you join the community and inspire the next generation of whistleblowers.
Mike Herrera is a self-identified UAP whistleblower who claims he attended classified SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) briefings where non-human intelligence, biologics, and covert asset recovery programs were discussed.
Herrera has been trying for two years to secure a Congressional hearing but remains outside the official whistleblower process.
He gained traction in 2023-2024 through TikTok, X, and livestreams, where he speaks emotionally and urgently about being betrayed by the system.
Unlike David Grusch, Herrera has no verified credentials, but he's become a polarizing voice in online disclosure circles – seen by some as sincere, by others as unraveling.
A video clip of Herrera was recently posted onto the hugely popular r/UFO subreddit. Speaking in a very roundabout way, he appeared to discourage more whistleblowers from coming forward, and got a huge response in the comments.
Decoding the word salad – what Herrera is actually saying
The rant from Herrera was just that. As if appearing reluctant to say it as it is – potentially of being tapped up from the feds – the video appears to be a cautious warning to whistleblowers not to fuel the self-perpetuating feedback loop.
Reddit responds – mixed sympathy and skepticism
The bellowing video from Herrera brought about a mixed reaction from the community.
User @shortnix, for example, pertinently asked: “Is this a genuine but clumsy attempt to protect those with information, or has he been co-opted?”
And taking that question into account, it feels a little more coherent and refined than a video post, which understandably might be a little muddled when filmed in a car's passenger seat rather than the studio.
And because the whistleblower community becomes marginalized, they’re required to have a semblance of safety in numbers.
The systemic failure of the UAP whistleblower pipeline has been exposed again by Herrera’s rant – no safety net, no funding, no incentive is offered – just isolation.
It represents the rise of mutual-trauma networks online, where abandoned whistleblowers seek validation from each other rather than Congress or the media.

Congress Given Exact Addresses Where UFOs Are Hidden — But Moving Vans Are Already Coming
July 23, 2024
UFO investigators George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell have provided Congress with specific addresses where recovered UFO materials may be stored, urging immediate inspection before potential evidence disappears.
The revelations point to two high-security facilities in California with deep ties to America’s most classified aerospace programs.
The Exact Locations
Corbell has called on Senator Rounds to inspect Lockheed’s Plant B6 complex in Burbank, California, located at 2300 Empire Avenue, and Northrop Grumman’s Plant 42 in Palmdale at 3520 East Avenue M Street.
These aren’t random suggestions — both facilities have legendary histories in advanced aircraft development and alleged connections to recovered non-human technology.
“The addresses are there,” Corbell stated. “He could ask to find out what’s going on at those two locations with the exact hardware that the Disclosure Act was written about.”
The urgency stems from concerns that evidence could be moved. As George Knapp warned, officials “should get there before the moving vans back up, which they’re probably on their way right now.”
This timeline pressure reflects the cat-and-mouse game between disclosure advocates and those seeking to maintain secrecy around the UFO phenomenon.
The Significance of These Locations
Lockheed’s Plant B6 in Burbank carries significant historical weight as the former home of the famous Skunk Works division, where America’s most classified aircraft were developed for decades.
After 1989, Lockheed relocated the Skunk Works to Site 10 at U.S. Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, where it continues operations today.
Most of the original Skunk Works buildings in Burbank were demolished in the late 1990s, ostensibly to make room for parking lots.
The facility’s potential connection to UFO materials isn’t mere speculation. Former Nevada Senator Harry Reid has publicly claimed that Lockheed Martin may have possessed fragments of crashed UFOs.
“I was told for decades that Lockheed had some of these retrieved materials,” Reid stated. “I tried to get a classified approval by the Pentagon to have me go look at that stuff.
They would not approve that.” Reid’s unsuccessful attempts to gain access suggest the materials’ existence and the extraordinary security surrounding them.
The second location, Northrop Grumman’s Plant 42 in Palmdale, represents America’s current pinnacle of aerospace development.
The facility houses production of the new B-21 Raider stealth bomber and serves as a government-owned, contractor-operated site uniquely suited for developing, prototyping, and testing both manned and unmanned military aircraft systems.
What makes this facility particularly suspicious is the Air Force’s recent acknowledgment of multiple uncrewed aerial system activities over Plant 42 in recent months — incidents serious enough to prompt new Federal Aviation Administration flight restrictions.

Coordinated Disinformation Campaign
As these revelations emerge, a coordinated effort to discredit UFO whistleblowers has intensified. A recent Wall Street Journal article attempted to explain decades of UFO reports as elaborate military pranks or hazing incidents.
Actor and comedian Dave Foley, who has become a serious UFO researcher after his own sighting, dismantled this theory with simple logic: “As a comedian, one thing I know about pranks is they’re no good unless you tell the person you pranked.
If you don’t say to the people, ‘Ha, there’s no UFOs after the prank,’ then you didn’t do the prank right.”
Corbell sees a more sinister purpose behind such articles: establishing precedent to discredit future whistleblowers.
“What I saw is I saw them trying to set up the foundation that anybody that comes forward as a whistleblower now can’t be trusted because they were just hazed,” he explained.
This preemptive strategy would undermine the credibility of witnesses before they even testify.
Tic Tac Technology Claims
Recent developments have added another layer to the Lockheed connection.
Representative Eric Burlison revealed contact with a source claiming to possess video evidence of a new propulsion system linked to the famous Tic Tac UFO, allegedly developed by Lockheed Martin.
The source reportedly has documentation showing three iterations of the Tic Tac technology, evolving from the original craft to more advanced versions that eventually incorporate the new propulsion system into conventional-looking aircraft to avoid detection.
“They have discovered a propulsion that’s a new type of propulsion,” Burlison’s source claims.
“They used it in the first iteration, which was the Tic Tac. They have an intermediary one that they are more advanced with.
And then now they’re putting it inside of what looks conventional so that it’s not obvious.”
Congressional Action and Whistleblower Testimony
Congressional hearings planned for August or September, or whenever the witnesses are ready to testify according to Rep. Luna, may represent a watershed moment in UFO disclosure.
Corbell has been working directly with congressional staffers to provide vetted witnesses, including three firsthand whistleblowers already filmed but not yet known even in small UFO research circles.
These individuals allegedly have “firsthand close proximity to operational UAP in their military role and capacity” — direct experience rather than secondhand accounts.
However, bringing these witnesses forward involves enormous personal risk. As Knapp points out, these people risk their careers, security clearances, and livelihoods.
Many have worked their entire adult lives in classified programs, and coming forward effectively ends those careers permanently.
The potential testimony could reveal crash retrieval programs, reverse engineering efforts, and the specific locations where recovered materials are stored.
The evidence suggests we’re closer than ever to understanding not just whether we’re being visited, but where physical proof is being kept.
Senator Rounds recently stated he doesn’t know who to ask about UFO materials and analysis — but now he may have his answer in the form of specific addresses requiring immediate investigation.
The question remains whether Congress will act decisively before potential evidence is relocated or destroyed. With moving vans potentially already en route, the window for transparency may be rapidly closing.

Air Force makes shock admission over mystery UFOs swarming site tied to Roswell crash
Updated: 15:18 EDT, 23 July 2025
Newly released records have revealed never-before-seen footage of unidentified objects invading an Ohio military base connected to one of the most infamous UFO encounters in history.
Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA), the US military has just been compelled to release documents and video of two incidents over Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in December 2024.
According to Air Force personnel and other witnesses in the area, the UFOs may have been part of the same drone swarms that both captivated and terrified the nation late last year.
While the vast majority of those reports came from New Jersey and other East Coast locations, the newly declassified files show that on December 13 and December 16 personnel at Wright-Patterson tracked and recorded the objects hovering over the secure facility.
The files on the incident revealed that the Air Force considered the invasion serious enough to stop flight operations around the base, call local law enforcement, and have security use thermal imaging cameras to find the intruders.
However, the case has remained unsolved as the military has not found out who or what sent the drones, the declassified documents stated.
The mystery of the 2024 drone swarms has become even more compelling because of the secretive work that has taken place at Wright-Patterson.
UFO researchers and government whistleblowers have said on multiple occasions that the Ohio compound has a direct tie to the 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico.
The Air Force documented revealed that on December 13, 2024, security forces around the base spotted several unmanned vehicles in the sky over Wright-Patterson around 10pm ET.
Patrols reported seeing at least one small drone that was about six inches in length and had four propellers hovering over the facility.
Another guard station stated that 'four quad-copter drones with red and green lights in a tight diamond formation' were swarming the base, but they 'gained altitude and flew away at a rapid speed' after the soldiers shined their car's spotlight on them.
The base's air traffic control tower issued a full shutdown of Wright-Patterson's airspace during the incident, but airmen never found the drones or anyone in the area who may have sent them.
On December 16, a civilian walking his dog near the base perimeter spotted another cluster of drones and reported it to base personnel near the gate around 9:30pm.
According to the witness's account, the drones 'were slowly moving in different directions.'
1/2
'The objects appeared to be lights moving as a group, but too high up to get an accurate assessment of what they looked like,' one officer at Wright-Patterson reported.
At 11:43 pm, another officer spotted an unknown aircraft descending towards the base, getting within 500 feet of landing before it suddenly ascended and disappeared.
A second patrol confirmed the startling report, saying the 'unidentified flying object' just vanished after approaching the base's runaway.
The FOIA release included multiple video clips taken by witnesses tracking the drones at various security checkpoints.
Although President Trump has said the mysterious swarms were 'not the enemy' and had been authorized to conduct 'research,' the new documents revealed that federal officials have a much different story behind closed doors.
The declassified report showed that both air traffic control and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) were contacted by officials at Wright-Patterson on December 13 and December 16.
Both agencies told the Air Force there were 'no authorized aircraft operating in WPAFB airspace' on those nights.
The FOIA request by The Black Vault, a website dedicated to sharing declassified government documents, has thrown Wright-Patterson back into the spotlight, as UFO conspiracy theorists have been focused on this facility for decades.
During a congressional hearing in May, Dr Eric Davis, a physicist who has been a consultant for the Pentagon's UFO program since 2007, revealed that debris from the Roswell incident was allegedly flown to Wright-Patterson after the crash in 1947.
The Air Force base has also been connected to the secret government group known as the Majestic 12 (MJ-12), a committee of high-ranking military, scientific, and intelligence officials assembled after the Roswell crash.
For over two decades, these experts were allegedly tasked with managing investigations into UFOs and extraterrestrial contact.
Recently unearthed CIA files stated that MJ-12 oversaw four specific projects charged with communicating with aliens, researching UFOs, recovering crashed alien ships, and testing out whatever advanced technology they could find.
That research and development program was based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, according to an alleged government whistleblower in 1984.
The base was also the headquarters for Project Blue Book, the Air Force's official UFO investigation program from 1947 to 1969.
It investigated 12,618 sightings, with 701 remaining 'unidentified,' according to declassified records in the National Archives.

Do Not Respond: Pentagon Staff Instructed to Ignore The Black Vault’s UAP Inquiry
July 15, 2025
The Department of Defense (DoD) has released 151 pages of internal records related to the FLIR1, Gimbal, and GoFast UAP videos.
The disclosure, obtained by The Black Vault through FOIA case 19-F-1420, adds new detail to the growing archive of material that documents how the U.S. government internally handled the official release of the three now-famous videos.
While the U.S. Navy confirmed last week it withheld 498 pages in full regarding the same release effort, the 151 pages from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) are overlapping in subject matter and offer a closer look at the overall internal process and discussion.
Both sets of documents stem from multiple FOIA requests filed in 2019 by The Black Vault, and both were finalized the same week in July 2025, suggesting coordinated processing between the Navy and OSD on the two cases.
Among the more revealing records is an August 19, 2019, internal email from a DoD staffer, written in response to a question submitted by The Black Vault the previous day.
The inquiry asked whether the Navy had ever completed a required step in the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review (DOPSR) process—specifically, whether it had formally responded to clear the videos for public release after a 2017 review.
The internal email reads:
“Our instructions are to not respond and forward requests to Public Affairs. The answer to his question is no; Navy did not respond. Had they responded, it would have been part of the case file/responsive records.”
At the time of the exchange, the DoD already had the information necessary to provide a direct answer. However, the FOIA office, acting under internal guidance, chose not to inform the The Black Vault, and instead redirected it to Public Affairs.
The question itself was narrowly focused and factual: whether or not a final approval had ever been submitted to DOPSR.
It was not classified, nor was it subject to any legal exemption. Yet the FOIA officer, following instructions, withheld the answer and ignored the question.
Under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552), federal agencies are required to provide access to records but not to answer questions or explain policy. Courts have consistently upheld this limitation.
The Department of Justice’s FOIA guidance reiterates this standard: agencies must “search for and produce responsive agency records,” but they are not obligated to “create new records” or “answer questions posed as FOIA requests.”
So while frustrating, and arguably at odds with the spirit of transparency, the DoD’s refusal to respond directly to a factual question remains legally permissible.
In response to the silence, The Black Vault re-submitted the question to the U.S. Navy, along with four others, to continue digging.
It would take until September 9, 2019, three weeks after the internal email confirmed the answer was known, before a reply was finally received.
“The conditions were for [redacted]to share with cleared contractors only and await for NAVY to approve for public release.”
Another 2019 Pentagon email affirmed:
“The videos were never officially released to the general public by DoD and should still be withheld.”
Despite these positions, the videos were eventually posted to the Navy’s FOIA reading room in April 2020, the same day another FOIA case filed by The Black Vault was answered.
This further indicated the release was driven by FOIA pressure, not voluntary transparency.
Together, these records show that answers existed internally but were intentionally withheld from the public—even when disclosure would not have compromised any sensitive information.
The release adds to the growing body of documentation showing that the handling of the UAP videos was shaped not just by classification or policy, but also by strategic control of information flow.
