Who?
Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) — Congressional UAP Caucus; Oversight Committee
LISTEN: Laslo & Burlison
Ask a Pol asks:
It seems like we don't know what's in American skies?
Key Burlison:
“Yeah,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively tells Ask a Pol.
Right? So like, to me, that’s where there's overlap in the ‘drone’ and UAP issues. I mean, how can we know anything up there?
“Yeah,” Burlison says. “There was talk of there being a [Select] UAP committee that could investigate what happened with the drones in New Jersey — it could shed light on things like this — and, apparently, the Speaker's office turned that idea down.”
Oh, really?
“They turned down that idea, of giving us a Select [UAP] Committee,” Burlison says. “I've heard that they may…allow a task force, which is basically a neutered committee.”
ICYMI — Select Committee may have hired David Grusch
UAP Caucus member unaware of Langley incident:
We just spoke to Sen. Tim Kaine and Senate Intel Committee Vice-chair Mark Warner about the incident at the Langley Air Force Base in December 2023. Is the thinking now that one of our adversaries has mastered anti-gravitational technology?
“Something shut down Langley?” Burlison asks. “Was it drones?”
‘Drones’ but the Pentagon has no idea what they are, is what the head of the Senate Intel Committee is telling Ask a Pol.
“Oh,” Burlison replies.
ICYMI — Don’t. Miss. This.
Caught our ear:
“Ukraine is a drone war. It's changed warfare. So if we're going to be successful in the United States, we need to be a nation that's not reliant on China for drones,” Burlison tells us. “We rely on China and/or the supply chain in China for our drones. That can't happen.”
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), slightly edited for clarity.
TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Eric Burlison
SCENE: Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo is staking out the bleak, florescent light saturated underground tunnel between the US Capitol and House Office Buildings when Rep. Eric Burlison comes strolling down…
Matt Laslo: “Hey, what do make of — I was just talking to Sen. [Tim] Kaine and [Sen. Mark] Warner, they had a classified briefing on Langley — and a year out of the Langley incident, they say the Pentagon has no idea what shut down Langley for 17 days last December — December 2023.”

EB: “I mean, that's what we gotta continue to investigate and determine. This is, it's frustrating to, I think, the American people. They watch what happened in New Jersey. I tend to think that what — that that was probably hobbyist or commercial stuff.”
ML: “But 20-foot — 20-foot long? And what Kaine told me exactly was…”
EB: “Are you talking about in New Jersey or…?”
ML: “In Jersey they saw 20-foot long…”
EB: “I have seen some pretty large commercial drones.”
ML: “Yeah?”
EB: “Some very large commercial drones...”
ML: “But I mean, talk to Congressman Smith…”
