The Stored Craft

Liberation Times has reported that an exotic vehicle of unknown origin has been stored for decades at Naval Air Station Patuxent River — ‘Pax River’ — in Maryland. The CIA is understood to be the original custodian, with the materials believed to have been recovered as far back as the 1950s. When asked, sources declined to describe the vehicle or disclose its location within the base.

NAS Patuxent River is not a random location. It is the headquarters of Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) — the Navy’s primary aviation research, development, test and evaluation centre. It is also the facility where, in 2020, NAVAIR’s FOIA reading room became the official repository for the GIMBAL and GOFAST UAP videos. Former AATIP director Luis Elizondo named Pax River specifically in written congressional testimony as a site prepared for a material transfer.

I was informed that funding for the hangar, approximately $10 million, was allocated at the request of then-Representative Steny Hoyer.

The Blocked Lockheed Transfer

The story of what nearly happened at Pax River is as significant as what is allegedly stored there. According to sources, a Vice President of Lockheed Martin Space Systems proposed transferring the materials to an external organisation — identified as Robert Bigelow’s aerospace interests — to drive technological breakthroughs. A dedicated hangar was built at Pax River to facilitate the transfer, along with a private runway and crane infrastructure.

The transfer was blocked by Glenn Gaffney, then CIA Director of Science and Technology — the agency’s senior technical officer. Gaffney’s intervention preserved CIA custody of the materials. When the Lockheed route failed, the same individuals reportedly attempted to establish a Prospective Special Access Program within the Department of Homeland Security in 2011 as an alternative transfer mechanism. That also failed.

Congressional Verification

Representative Eric Burlison visited Pax River on a White House-approved trip in early 2026 to examine the alleged facility. Burlison confirmed the infrastructure exists — a hangar, runway and crane consistent with the transfer narrative — but found the hangar empty. His assessment: the building’s existence validates the story even without materials present.

What I was trying to do was prove, or find, any kind of evidence or proof of the narrative. 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.

The Salvatore Pais Connection

While at Pax River with NAVAIR, aerospace engineer Salvatore Pais filed a series of patents describing unconventional propulsion and field effects — including technologies that overlap directly with the physics of the craft allegedly stored on-site. Whether Pais’s patent work was informed by access to the stored vehicle is an open thread that has never been officially addressed.
