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.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Burchett expressed concern that "we have something that we do not control in our military airspace."

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."

I think aliens shot JFK and the documents need to stay classified so that we don’t all freak out.
Yes lets concentrate on our most pressing issue, UFOs. 🙄

They only tell us what they want us to know. And believe.
Wagging the dog.
I’m trying to understand how any civilization that’s managed to traverse interstellar space to get here would see any reason to stay, given our obviously ancient technology and the fact that society has not advanced enough to eliminate leftists.
Because known conservative, Harry Reid told us to concentrate on it. /sar
More reasons to call the GOP, the Stupid Party.
They are from here. They are demonic.
“I’m trying to understand how any civilization that’s managed to traverse interstellar space to get here would see any reason to stay...”

And why would they play Hide n’ Seek with us?
I think this is just wonderfully great news. Either some intelligent life will take over and fix this ship show or harvest us all and put us out of our misery. Either way, things get better.
Idiots.
There are no aliens, but it helps us scare our enemies with made up, unprovable stuff.
It's an intangible paper tiger with enough believers around the world to scare leaders about the superiority, known and “hidden” (“non-public UFO technology”), that it works for a fraction of major systems we'd have to invest in making.
This is a wonderful, if frustrating, global psyops.
It gets a lot of people on Free Republic, too.
Sanctuary planet!
Maybe they are just periodically checking to see if we’re ripe for harvest.
Cant get a decent burger back home?
If they really are “out of control” over our airspace, then that’s a good reason to not tell people. We aren’t able to stop them.
Maybe they don’t have anyone with the patience of a Jane Goodall
