Burlison says intelligence officials can't explain mysterious UAP sightings
What do you think?
Southwest Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison says federal intelligence officials have shifted their stance on unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs, moving from initial denials of evidence to acknowledging encounters that remain unexplained.
During a NewsNation interview, Burlison described objects he says have been discussed in classified briefings as glowing, plasma-like spheres that move in ways inconsistent with conventional aircraft.

“They seem to be maybe half the size of a sedan,” Burlison said, adding that the objects appear to move intelligently without any known propulsion system. “I don’t know what they are, and neither does our intelligence community.”
Burlison said early briefings from intelligence agencies told him there was no evidence supporting UAP claims. However, he said that position later changed after additional assessments and reported encounters that officials could not dismiss or fully explain.
According to Burlison, intelligence officials have still not identified the origin or nature of the objects, which remain under investigation.
He also pointed to what he described as a more aggressive posture from the White House in seeking answers. Burlison said White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has been tasked with driving the effort and is demanding conclusive findings from federal agencies rather than inconclusive or partial assessments.
Burlison described Miller as taking a “no-tolerance” approach to incomplete intelligence reporting, saying agencies are now under pressure to produce definitive answers.
Despite the lack of verified conclusions, Burlison said interest in the topic is growing rapidly in Congress. He said lawmakers from both parties are increasingly seeking access to UAP briefings and involvement in the House’s bipartisan UAP Caucus.
“There is a lot of bipartisan interest,” Burlison said. “Members on both sides are asking to be included.”
He characterized the effort as rare in today’s political environment, noting that collaboration on the issue crosses party lines and reflects broader concerns about national security and transparency.
While Burlison said he has reviewed classified material and spoken with intelligence officials, no public evidence has confirmed the objects are extraterrestrial in origin. Federal agencies have not announced a definitive explanation for the reported phenomena.
