Rep. Tim Burchett on UFO findings: ‘It’s a bogus cover-up’ (by the Pentagon)
newsnationnow.com ^ | Joshua Eferighe, Leland Vittert

Posted on 05/03/2022 4:24:29 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) believes the Pentagon knows more than what they’re saying following the latest secret briefings on UFOs.

“There’s an arrogance in government at that level that we cannot handle what’s going on out there,” Burchett said Monday as a guest of News Nation’s “On Balance with Leland Vittert.” “It’s a bogus cover-up. It doesn’t fit and it’s about power and control,” he continued.

Burchett has joined lawmakers on both sides of the aisle seeking to apply pressure on members of the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services committees after disappointment in their latest data collection efforts.

“I don’t trust the Department of Defense to get this right since leadership there has always been part of a cover-up,” Burchett said.

Burchett is a member of the House Transportation Aviation subcommittee and represents a district where there have been numerous reports of UFO sightings.

“It is clear from the public evidence that we don’t have full control of our airspace. That’s a national security issue and it’s also unacceptable,” he added.

Burchett has been in the classified briefings so he not only knows that the public is being lied to by the Pentagon, but exactly how we are being lied to (i.e., he knows the truth to some degree...and it's a very big deal).

Burchett (and others) have implied that the Pentagon is resistant to revealing the truth about this matter for 2 reasons.

First, the Pentagon does not have any ideas as to how to deal with this problem (whatever it is) and...

Second, this problem takes the Pentagon's concern away from the current responsibilities re: defending us against other countries and refocuses their attention on a paradigm-changing challenge that may reduce their power.

The Pentagon has said for the record that UFOs exist and have in fact released video evidence of whatever these things are and how they evade our existing technologies.

But they are still lying about how much they know re: this subject.

Alien vehicles do not exist. Man made vehicles that can defy physics do not exist.

Government idiots that want to increase budgets for stupid spending or control freaks that want to scare the population do exist.

As an aside, many scientists and former DOD/DIA/NSA officers have said that "disclosure" has already occurred.

What has not occurred is "transparency" regarding what has been disclosed.

We are not alone, but what these things are (to the extent that anyone in gov't knows) is being withheld.

Every strange looking object in the sky that I have witnessed was explainable through logic and education. I have a good handle on astronomy and am familiar with practically every aircraft known. I think what some people are seeing could be experimental aircraft.

There are no UFOs. It’s all fantasy. Let’s all please move on to another topic.

Full disclosure: Zirzal the Invader forced me to post this. He said that if I didn’t continue the cover-up, I’d be on the receiving end of an alien death ray. The guy is pretty convincing. I’ll give him that.

I would add......

Third, they do not want to reveal the existence of black box projects that may be in violation of treaties, or provide significant advantages.

If anyone is really interested in this subject, read the book Skunk Works.

Its a history of the development of stealth aircraft, from Burbank to Area 51.

I would have to reread it, but when I read it 30 years ago I recall there was something that told me they didn’t mind if the UFO stories spread. That was good cover.

When given the choice between

A. Something, something, something.

Or

B. The government is lying.

I’m going to choose B. The government is lying.

As has been said regarding other subjects, there is a mountain of evidence available to support the fact that UFO/UAPs exist (whatever they are) and are not ours/human.

If you want to know the truth, you can dig into it and reach a knowledgeable conclusion.

If you have a closed mind about it, no amount of evidence will change your mind.

When they start talking about the spacemen, they are trying to distract you so you won’t notice something else. Probably another “pandemic” on the way.

If they don’t want to reveal black projects, they shouldn’t be testing them in military training areas, having them follow our aircraft, and buzzing our naval vessels.

If they do exist and are here, it doesn’t seem like they’re doing much except fly-bys on aircraft. If their technology is great enough that they can travel between star systems, what do they have to be afraid of? Why are they hanging back?

To my knowledge, the subject of “space men” hasn’t come up.

They are now invading our airspace and hanging out at our nuclear sites and vessels almost daily.

It has become a problem (whatever the hell they are).

I wish they would land a craft at some big event like the Stupid Bowl. That would be rad.

No one is suggesting that (to my knowledge)...but no one seems to be revealing any ideas as to what we are dealing with.
