MITRE Corporation — UAP Files Request by Congress, May 2026

Avi Loeb mentioned the request on NewsNation: 'There could be evidence of extrasolar materials held by companies like Lockheed Martin or MITRE.' MITRE declared its willingness to comply (DefenseScoop, May 27, 2026). Connection to Grusch testimony regarding private companies managing UAP recovery programs. First public congressional request to an FFRDC regarding UAP files.
