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.

“What if “they” want our consciousness. What if they see humans (our minds, bodies, and souls) as sophisticated sensory mechanisms for perceiving and enjoying Earth and our reality?”

I don’t believe in ETs, but the Twilight Zone had an interesting episode about ETs that come to earth and become their version of “humans” and co-exist. I do love SciFi.

“I am curious. Is there some mysterious group who is trying to convince you to “believe” in UFO’s?”

I don’t know about ‘mysterious’...but probably followers of Satan are lining up their excuses for the rapture, if or when it happens pre-trib. They’ll say the UFOs took all those people...lol.

They’re wasting their time. The rapture won’t happen until the very last, when it’ll be too late for them to even need any “excuse”.

That is what I said that the RCs think—conceptio. Of Mary in her mother’s womb, which if so(a d it is ‘t so) that would have made Mary “sinless” at birth, hence able to haveJesus made from her flesh. All very unscientific, in onsistent with gentic biology. Where would Jesus have gotten the Y chromosome? From her? She did not have any.

Governments have been corrupt as long as there have been governments.

Even though the Bible is chocked full of interactions with non human entities.

Non human is angels, demons, spirits, and principalities in the sky.

Non human in this sense does not mean a group of beings from another planet coming to visit in flying saucers to just ‘check us out’.

“inconsistent with genetic biology. Where would Jesus have gotten the Y chromosome? From her? She did not have any.”

You are on to something. We have discussed it here a couple times. Sounds exactly like artificial insemination doesn’t it?

“Non human is angels, demons, spirits, and principalities in the sky.

Not sure you understand the concept. They have been here since before us. And considering the lack of technology and understanding, What would have ancient man have called these aliens from another planet?

He called them “angels, demons, spirits, and principalities in the sky (Heavens)”. It is all there and metaphoric because they did not know what the term “Alien from another planet” was.

Read it again with that in mind...

I have never understood the “crash” claims.

These “people” are supposed to be so advanced but they manage to crash on earth?

As some people have said, these so-called "aliens" aren't aliens at all. This is all a facade. And the crashed craft are just part of the cover story.

Now, as to what these alien beings actually are, that's where the mystery starts to get interesting.

They have been indeed. The surveillance capabilities and the deadliness of this one makes it a great deal worse.

We’ve barely got out of solar system. It would be hundreds if not thousands of years to get beyond our galaxy.

I just looked. Roads above there have been closed. If I remember correctly that whole RT 110 is in a pretty steep valley, so all of the rain flows down into a “V”. That doesn’t bode well for the roads. Most homes are away from the rivers, though.

In a lot of places the flooding is starting to recede. The bigger problem is that roads are washing out. Just getting from A to B is impassable.

This is going to take a few minutes to get fixed. They were expecting more rain tonight and tomorrow.

I am about 150 miles away and the CT is rising pretty fast. We won’t see that kind of flooding, but farms in the northern part of Western MA are starting to feel it.

There is early summer hay cut, and that means expensive milk next winter.

Don't remember. It was very fast. But it wasn't mine, it was my dad's. He let me drive it on dates. My social life was in great shape as long as he had that car.

My younger brother (with only a learner's permit) took it for a joy ride and flipped it on a dirt road...and destroyed it. My incredible social life ended with a crash.

I went from being a prince behind the wheel of my dad's gold T-Bird with beautiful red leather bucket seats to being a pauper in my beat-up 56 Chevy.
