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

Posted on 07/13/2023 1:59:20 AM PDT by Libloather

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.

“You still believe in little green aliens? Nanu nanu. Orsun, get me back to Ork. Shazbot.”

Lol... Right straight to 4th grade ridicule because you could not refute my point. Where did you get that in what I shared? Those are historical divine works of art depicting UFOs I shared. Point is the UFO phenomenon is in no way a new thing.

Divine himno methanated dust, pure Buffalo bloviation with a reflective screen, just a big cloud of what made America great. Agricultural products. Get rid of diesel and we can suffer famine in the land of milk and honey. We can thank the greenies for their march to an apocalyptic future. So, where are the little green people when we need them???

You can’t do better than swamp gas?

Isn't it amazing how infantile the "Squirrel" people are?

Nanu Nanu!

That's the best they've got. No incisive arguments...just Nanu Nanu.;-)

I hope they're on the DOD payroll. If not, they need to see Biden's geriatric neurologist.

How would you answer this question... How did Christ’s embryo get here... Leading into the immaculate conception?

I already know that.

Jesus' human body was made of the same masculine DNA (anf I mean same) as was Adam, a substance that was sinless and eternal before it became damaged by the disobedience of the first Adam. It was by that human from whom all other humanity--including Mary of Nazareth (but excluding the morula in which the Personality of the Eternal Son was invested)--that was/is derived.

Mary was not sinless, but rather a surrogate host "mother" in which that morula, being the God Incarnate, was implanted into her womb.

Today, our physicians have learned to accomplish that mystery with fallen human flesh. Why not The Godhead who breathed the life from the spiritual dimension into the DNA body created to entertain the spirit of life and become the First Adam, why not the Second?

Why not Himself, His Essence uniting with unfallen (but still exactly the samed that never experienced corruption and death, being yet perfect and sinless) DNA to be implanted and grow into a full-featured temporal human infant, the Second Adam; His Blood separated from that of the fallen host mother by the placenta, but obtaining nutrients through it? Conception does not occur until the morula attaches to the wall of the uterus, forming the placenta. Thus "immaculate conception" (of Mary's own mother?!!) is absolutely unnecessary to provide the nutrient-rich temperature-regulated, isolating protective environment for the God-Invested embryo to develop, and be born from the surrogate mother's birth channel.

This "immaculate conception" is merely a figment of mistaken theologians who knew nothing of the advanced technology of human biology, and thus having to innovate some kind of excuse wherefrom they would not have to admit to the (also) ignorant laity that they really had no true idea of how this Special Human came to the earthly dimension through knowable biological processes consistent with the progressive revelation of the Holy Scriptures.

How did John traverse both space and time to be able to enter the revelation theater and then return to write about it?

Enoch and Elijah already had, and Jacob/Israel also, and so had Paul; not an unexplainable truth happening to Beloved John the Apostle. There is a spiritual dimension in which Heaven resides, and is substantial; and there is also a temporal physical dimension existing intimately close to the spiritual.

With Jehovah Elohim's enabling, migrating back and forth is possible (the Risen Messiah walked through stone walls), or for a human person to exist in both, is not a mystery to those regenerated servants of the Lord Jesus Messiah who already know of this.

Space travel is in there several times, they just didn’t use those words. Yup, in a vision I saw..

I trust that here you are giving the example of what a prophet like Job (Job 33:14-22) (contemporary with Abraham) or other prophets including Moses (about 500 years later) experienced.

Now, those who have received eternal life, who have been born a second time into the spiritual realm, and thus are a personally sensed entity there, and are literally members of His Heavenly Church (Hebrews 12:23-25), yet coexisting in this body in the temporal realm, until the spirit is withdrawn by God from the physical body which the becomes utterly still, but the soul and spirit remaining very alive in the spiritual dimension.

============

Making sense to you, my FRiend?

I actually saw some "swamp gas" back in the summer of 1966. There's a little town south of where I grew up where swamp gas would appear on a dirt road between a railroad track and a wetland area.

My girlfriend and I and another couple drove down and parked aside the dirt road and waited.

It was pretty amazing. A huge ball (about 8ft in diameter) of fire following behind my dad's 1962 T-Bird. We had given up and were leaving when I noticed the ball of fire was right behind the car.

I concluded that the spark from the cars tailpipe ignited the methane from the swamp which had been drawn into the vacuum created by the car as I drove along the dirt road.

As an aside, this was in the days before car mufflers had spark suppressors.

Have you not seen all the attention regarding UFO’s over the last couple of months? (at least)

The ‘credibility’ such narratives have has spiked. So yes, there is a group trying to convince us this is not just wild conspiracy theories. I don’t know from where it is driven but it is happening and it seems like a convenient distraction.

Well I’m pretty in agreement about the demon thing. But I think our rulers have had this technology for 100 years and most of it came from Nicolas Tesla not aliens.

Now that we are all about to find out what we could have had years ago they are likely going to try and say it came from aliens and they just now figured out how to apply the technology. There’s going to be a lot of angry people when they find out their dead loved ones could have been saved in medbeds. Or that power should have been free all these years.

That is a nice set of paintings. It is obvious that most people get their exercise by jumping to conclusions. So much information is and has been available regarding the benign nature of those visitors, whatever they are. There is also bad stuff reported. We gave good people and bad people. I’m sure that is a common thread among the living and the weird ones.

I have no information of my own on that object. I can’t comment, really. I don’t think it is important.

I've been posting articles on UFO's here at FR since before 2017 (I think that was the date). BTW, unlike Quix (RIP), I have formed no opinions as to what we are dealing with. I just post the articles.

So yes, I have noticed.

That said, most Americans aren't following this story. FR is one of the only places anyone can see this stuff (God Bless Jim).

What's driving it is that military and intel community whistleblowers are coming out of the woodwork to tell their stories to classified Congressional Intel Committees...and Congress is getting ready to make some hearings public.

As an aside, the reason whistleblowers are coming out is that Congress has indemnified them against any actions taken by the Department of Defense to shut them up...and the DOD is pissed.

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


Said the king of the ant hill. Ha Ha.

I guess we could look at this stuff in a couple of ways. The first is to assign them our goals of exploration: Curiosity and the attainment of natural resources. If that is the case, we would be poked and prodded and then harvested. We would fare no betting than the Native Americans. First, it is inevitable that we would “catch” any unknown diseases—which would wipe out most of us. And the rest would be swept aside.

Another way would be to look at them as conquerers. They would not announce their approach and would simply wipe us out and harvest our resources.

Another way is to look at their approach as simply scientific. They would send “drones” to map and observe. The “craft” we are “seeing” are certainly not attack or invasion craft. Instead, they appear to be inert and illusive.

If you accept a couple of other theories, they are inter-dimensional or or time craft of some manner. Our actions might be spilling into their worlds—and they aren’t happy about it.

The long and short of it is that a common worker bee from any of those “civilizations” would have technology that, as Asimov said, would appear to us as magic. Yesterday someone mentioned the Cargo Cults of the South Pacific. I believe we have a lot of that going on.

In the end, I think if there is something out there/here and it has been recovered by us, the tech is explainable and some humans may have mastered it. In those cases the magic would quickly be erased.

But, if we have learned about frictionless travel and cheap energy...and we released it to the world, our economies would tailspin. Our economy is based on oil. Our food and production is still heavily tied to transportation. What would happen if you could build a craft that could move products from a plant in China to a retail location in DesMoines at little or not cost? What would happen if you have the free energy to spend on desalinization in Africa?

Whomever controlled that technology would HAVE to make it available to the rest of the world immediately, or they would face the wrath of those left out.

The philosophical, economic, and moral implications would literally be earth changing.

The whole thing about “disclosure” is not about learning that “something is out there.” It isn’t about religion. It is about the paradigm changing in an instant. What was valuable yesterday...would be worthless today. THAT is what these people are talking about.

Don’t fear the little green men. Fear the greedy bastards who are “in charge” and who have been keeping the rest of the world poor for the past 80 years. I get the sense the rest of the world isn’t going to be happy they were kept in the dark.

There are a couple of UFO forums on Reddit that are worth picking through. Sure, there is a lot of “Majestic 12” garbage...but it is a good depository of most of the recent hearings, videos, and somewhat serious discussions.

Yes...you have to be a discerning reader but anyone who has been following this since the invention of the internet has learned there are a lot of crazy folks out there.

Sometimes you have to be like Art Bell and George Noory and just allow them to ramble a bit.

Cell phones are not demonic. They are little more than 1940’s walkie talkies. The switching software/hardware was derived from a patent held by...wait for it...Heddy Lamar.

This poor dude’s formal education?

A BS in Education from the Univ. of Tenn in Knoxville.

(Does he have a palindrome degree? The same as an Education in BS?)
