Pax River: The Navy Base Storing a UAP Since the 1950s
Source: Liberation Times | Compiled: UAP Oracle Intelligence Terminal | May 2026
INTELLIGENCE BRIEF: Naval Air Station Patuxent River (Pax River), Maryland, has been confirmed by Liberation Times sources as a long-term storage facility for an exotic vehicle of unknown origin recovered as far back as the 1950s. The CIA’s Directorate of Science and Technology is understood to be the original custodian. A Congressional representative has personally visited and confirmed purpose-built infrastructure at the site.
The Facility
Pax River is home to Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) headquarters — the Navy’s primary aviation research, development, test and evaluation center. It is the facility that hosts the official FOIA repository for the GIMBAL and GOFAST UAP videos. Sources now confirm it is also where at least one exotic vehicle of non-human origin has been stored for decades, within facilities that are distinct from each other on the base.
The CIA’s Directorate of Science and Technology — the same directorate that Clapper’s Golden Domes program partner Stephanie O’Sullivan directed — is understood to be the original custodian of the materials, recovered since the 1950s. This places the storage of retrieved craft squarely within the same CIA architecture documented throughout the UAP control program.
The Failed Transfer — And Who Stopped It
Lockheed Martin Vice President James Ryder proposed transferring the materials to an external organisation to drive technological breakthroughs. When that failed, the same group established a Prospective Special Access Program (PSAP) within the Department of Homeland Security in 2011 as an alternate transfer mechanism. That too was blocked.
The blocker in both cases was Glenn Gaffney, CIA Director of Science and Technology — the same directorate that holds the materials. The CIA was, in effect, refusing to release its own assets into a more accountable structure. Luis Elizondo confirmed in Congressional testimony that a hangar at Pax River was specifically designed to accommodate the machinery, with a private runway and crane for transfer by air and river. Funding for the ~$10 million hangar was allocated by then-Representative Steny Hoyer, who represented Maryland’s 5th congressional district — the district containing Pax River.
“What I was looking for was this: I had information that there was no material there, but there is enough evidence of infrastructure on the property to indicate that there was. What I was trying to do was prove, or find, any kind of evidence or proof of the narrative. So, if I could prove that there was a building created for the purpose of receiving a transfer of goods, then, at least if the building exists, I can identify and prove that there may be some validity to that story.”
— Representative Eric Burlison, after White House-approved visit to Pax River, 2026
Congressional Visit — What Burlison Found
In February 2026, Representative Burlison visited Pax River on a White House-approved trip. He confirmed the hangar exists and that it was constructed for a specific purpose. He observed a private runway and crane infrastructure consistent with Elizondo’s testimony. A subsequent Liberation Times investigation clarified that the specific hangar Burlison visited may not be the exact one Elizondo referenced — but multiple facilities on the base are understood to be involved, and the broader infrastructure is confirmed.
The Salvatore Pais patents — the Navy’s controversial propulsion and field effect patents filed while Pais was employed at NAVAIR — add an additional layer. Patents describing hybrid aerospace-underwater craft, high-energy electromagnetic field generators, and room-temperature superconductors were filed from inside the facility where a non-human vehicle is allegedly stored. The proximity is not lost on researchers.
ORACLE ASSESSMENT: Pax River is the most specifically identified storage location in the public record. The combination of CIA custodianship, Lockheed involvement, Congressional-confirmed infrastructure, Pais patents, and NAVAIR’s role as official UAP footage repository creates a convergence of evidence pointing at a single facility. The fact that contingency relocation plans reportedly exist suggests the parties involved are aware that this information is narrowing toward public confirmation.
