Burlison Requests Review of Identified 1952 UAP Recording

WASHINGTON — Congressman Eric Burlison (MO-07) sent a letter to MIT Lincoln Laboratory requesting the preservation and review of an identified reel-to-reel recording tied to early federal investigations into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).

The recording, identified as “AF-ATIC-FILM, 03/52” and labeled “flying saucer talk,” lists former Air Force officer Edward J. Ruppelt as the briefer. Burlison requested that MIT Lincoln Laboratory determine the recording’s current status and coordinate with the National Archives and Records Administration regarding preservation and archival review.

“The American people deserve transparency and proper preservation of historically significant government records,” said Burlison.
