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.

Yep. I go there from time to time.
An awful lot of “ifs” there. Apparently, someone hasn’t actually seen any hard evidence of the existence of ETs, despite all the hype and BS.
So the secrets of the universe have been revealed to congressman burkett?
Somehow I am doubtful.
Sure they can. Just like we drive through a wildlife park.
Absolutely agree... Thank you.
Not the secrets of the universe. Just the menu. And we’re on it.
“Humans get really jumpy when they can’t figure out what “team” they are supposed to be on—and even more jumpy when they find out they are the third string quarterback.”
Well said...
Burkett did not get all the secrets—but the one tenth of one percent he did get was enough to terrify him.
he can handle it but we can’t... feh
Maybe We are just the Buc-ees along the galaxy path. A nice place to get out of the vehicle, stretch, do a little sightseeing, pick up a souvenir.
“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.”
Which makes us their zoo at least, petting zoo maybe.
I do not believe this at all, it’s just another “Wag The Dog” diversion from the corrupt Biden’s, etc.
Could be. They sure are hurting for entertainment. Maybe it is more like visiting a zoo.
“I don’t see it that way. They are the victims of deep and sophisticated brainwashing—that takes better with some folks than others.”
Absolutely, I agree. It is brainwashing for sure. And it started before the 12th century...
Even knowing it started in the Middle Ages?
If that's the case, why are the big Biden-friendly media outfits like the NY Times, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC, and CBS refusing to run with the story?
And the only people in Congress who are talking about it are the Republicans.
Try again.
A Kolchak The Night Stalker episode with Darren McGavin used this exact same plot.
Identifying “diversions” is easy—here is the propaganda trick.
A bona fide “diversion” includes demonizing anyone who opposes the narrative:
“racist”
“homophobe”
“the dangerous unvaxxed”
“hater”
“insurrectionist”
“extremist”
etc etc etc.
That is not being done in this case.
This is not a “diversion”.
I am in W Mass now. But images from my old stomping grounds around Montpelier are heartbreaking. They got hit bad by Irene a few years ago and this is worse.
“Even knowing it started in the Middle Ages?”
They are blatantly ignoring that fact, even though it is shared time after time.
Even though the Bible is chocked full of interactions with non human entities.
It is all there, all they have to do is read it and understand it for what it actually presents.
Yes. You are spot on there.
