Congressman has grim take after access to UFO footage: 'We can't handle it'
Fox News ^ | 7/12/23 | Chris Eberhart

A Tennessee lawmaker issued a dire warning after claiming to have seen classified UFO footage that hasn't been released to the public.

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., speculated extraterrestrial life forms could have technology that humanity "can't handle" during an appearance on the "Event Horizon" podcast.

"If they’re out there, they’re out there, and if they have this kind of technology, then they could turn us into a charcoal briquette," Burchett said.

"And if they can travel light years or at the speeds that we’ve seen, and physics as we know it, fly underwater, don't show a heat trail, things like that, then we are vastly out of our league."

Burchett is a sitting member on the House Oversight Committee, which has held hearings about potential threats of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), a government-derived term for UFOs.

"We can’t handle it," Burchett said during his podcast appearance about potential alien tech. "We couldn't fight them off if we wanted to. That's why I don't think they're a threat to us, or they would already have been."

His startling comments came after whistleblower David Grusch, a decorated Air Force veteran who is considered by many to be credible, came forward with claims the government has been running a secret UFO retrieval program.

The House Oversight Committee is preparing a hearing to discuss Grusch's unverified claims. Burchett and fellow Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida will lead the committee's investigation.

Satan, governments and salesmen all deal in fear. Even more so when all three are combined into one entity.

More and more I believe that these UFOs are demonic apparitions. The reason why that don’t turn us into “a charcoal briquette” is because God doesn’t allow it.

“We couldn’t fight them off if we wanted to. That’s why I don’t think they’re a threat to us, or they would already have been.”

We’re meaner than they are and there’s a whole lot more of us. That’s why they won’t try anything.

This is unusually great copy for a series of charcoal briquette advertisements.

I have believed for a long time, that it’s demon manifestations, and their goal is deception.

What, congress can’t handle it? Doesn’t mean the public can’t.

That could be. Or they’re letting us destroy ourselves.

Does he (the Rep from TN) not think the CIA and/or the FBI in conjunction with Holly-Satanwood could not make these videos that he has seen. Or that China hasn’t got airborne vehicles going around trying to scare everyone?

I was thinking about how I wanted to comment on this and you took the words right out of my mouth.

Could not have said it better myself.

Thank You

If all this is true, and they (whatever they are) have the powers that are claimed, there’s nothing we can do about it if they decide to blast us, enslave us, or eat us for dinner.

So why worry?
