Who?
Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) — Congressional UAP Caucus; Oversight Committee
LISTEN: Laslo & Burlison
Ask a Pol asks:
Any update on the Secrets Task Force's effort to publicly release these 40+ classified videos?
Key Burlison:
“I have heard from people within the intelligence community that they are collecting these. They’re gathering the videos for a presentation to us,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP. “That means they’re taking it seriously.”
But possibly not publicly released?
“Right,” Burlison says.

Caught our ear, per “missing” scientists:
Do you think the focus needs to go to these “missing” scientists? It’s getting a lot of attention.
“To me, there’s enough bandwidth to focus on both,” Burlison tells us. “The missing scientists, I think there’s clearly an overlap, there’s a connection. But in and of itself it’s worth the investigation even if it has nothing to do with UAP.”
ICYMI — Ask a Pol broke news on the scientists yesterday…
Burlison’s staying skeptical:
“I’m totally dubious. I don’t trust this town at all,” Burlison says. “But it still doesn’t mean you don’t try.”
