FFRDC operator (est. 1958 from MIT Lincoln Lab); first FFRDC formally served Burlison's 2026 UAP-records interrogatory.
Not-for-profit operating multiple federally funded R&D centers. In 2026 Rep. Eric Burlison sent formal legislative interrogatories demanding any records on UAP, recovered materials, and legacy crash-retrieval/reverse-engineering back to 1930. MITRE confirmed it is reviewing archives. Documented FFRDC; UAP custody is an open inquiry, not a finding.
