MITRE Responds to Congressional Inquiry on UAP Records

The MITRE Corporation is reviewing its archives to comply with a request from Rep. Eric Burlison regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) records. This inquiry stems from concerns that sensitive UAP materials may be concealed by the Pentagon and defense contractors. Burlison's request seeks to determine if MITRE or its subcontractors have controlled any relevant records related to UAP, including technologies of unknown origin and crash-retrieval programs. The request is part of a broader effort by Congress to enhance transparency about UAP data. Burlison emphasized that federally funded research centers must not act as private vaults for federal records. The inquiry follows a national UAP Records Collection established by Congress, which mandates the identification and transfer of UAP records to the National Archives. The current status involves MITRE coordinating with federal agencies to provide any relevant assets found during their review.

Key Points: • MITRE is reviewing archives for UAP-related records following a congressional request. • Rep. Eric Burlison is leading efforts to ensure transparency in UAP data handling. • The inquiry seeks to clarify MITRE's control over sensitive UAP materials and technologies.
