Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) believes unidentified flying objects need to be taken more seriously and that both Congress and the public have a right to know about them.

The House Oversight Committee has stated its intention to hold a hearing on the issue as well as a recent whistleblower who says that the government has not been forthcoming with Congress. Burchett and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) are leading the committee's investigation into UFOs, which are officially referred to as UAPs.

"There's enough witnesses, enough qualified pilots, astronauts, literally heroes of ours, that have come forward about things and so I think it's pretty evident that government is covering up," the congressman said. "And the reason we don't have any of that information now is a lot of it is so compartmentalized that the people that could connect the dots are long gone."
Asked what reason the government might have for covering these discoveries up, Burchett suggested, "Greed and power."
In the past, Pentagon officials have said that some of the information regarding UFOs must remain secure for reasons pertaining to national security, but the congressman said, "That's the way they cover it up."
He suggested that if these objects were from adversaries such as Russia and China, they would wield them publicly. "It's not the Russians or the Chinese, because we know if it was the Chinese, they would own us," he said. "And if it was Russia, Putin, with his ego, he would — he sure wouldn't be stumbling in Ukraine right now."

Most of the stories (of stuff coming from Intel Committee hearings and whistleblowers) are coming from Republicans. The only supportive Democrat of note is Gillibrand.
But the DOD and other agencies have denied everything and have done their best to destroy anyone (current or former military or intel) who has tried to speak out.
