16:15Now PlayingIn a one-on-one interview with NewsNation's Joe Khalil, Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison discusses his push for greater transparency regarding closely held government secrets about unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs.
Burlison, a member of the House Oversight Committee, argues that while the current administration has gained momentum on disclosure, the material released so far is "low-hanging fruit" because some of it had already been leaked or debunked.
Burlison says the focus has shifted to the private sector because he believes companies and individuals possess videos, files and other UAP-related materials that have not been made public.
He also discusses footage of "glowing orbs" that appear to defy conventional aerodynamics and explains his theory on why previous administrations kept the information secret.
