‘Invasion of Washington’ UFO tape may surface as lawmakers push release
On Thursday, Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., announced at a forum on UAP transparency that a tape exists of a UFO briefing between Air Force officials and scientists in 1952. He said MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory, a federally funded research and development center, has agreed to make the material available.
Disclosure Foundation Executive Director Jordan Flowers told NewsNation the document is believed to be a reel-to-reel audio tape recording about the Washington, D.C., incidents. He credits Burlison, a member of the so-called UAP Caucus in Congress, with shaking the artifact loose.
The July 1952 UFO sightings over the U.S. capital were observed on radar as well as by eyewitnesses, including airline pilots who reported unusual lights in the sky. Military jets were scrambled in response — to no avail.
The story became sensationalized as news accounts described the mysterious objects as flying saucers. Cold War paranoia sparked theories that the Soviets were somehow behind the unexplained incursions into U.S. airspace.
The Air Force famously held a news conference at month’s end to tamp down all of the speculation, with authorities attributing the UFOs to the weather.
News that there is a tape recording about the Washington sightings is important, Flowers said, because it “proves that there’s significant material that have not been disclosed to the public about our government taking these things seriously for at least 70, if not 80 years.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
