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.

Since the 1950's the only authority that has tried to belittle those reporting UFO's and diminish their reports and prevent people from having serious discussions about his matter has been the Department of Defense.

Did you know you are doing their work?

Seriously, no one is distracted by these reports. In fact, the Pentagon has seen to it that anyone discussing this matter is ridiculed. That's who you are helping. You are helping to prevent freedom of speech as it pertains to UFO's (whether they are real or not).

The title is a little confusing. What Rep Burchett meant and actually said was that we humans cannot handle (i.e., defend against) “their” technology.

Agree. God allows satan various things to lure people from pursuing why God created them, which is because God wants relationship with them, but many choose the distractions instead.

Why can’t they be what they are? We send spacecraft
throughout our universe why couldn’t someone or something else do the same?

Yes.

God is attended to by an infinite number of beings (angels is not the correct term). They are not here on Earth.

People who believe that humans are all there is are either not reading the Bible or they have no imagination...or both.

Right on schedule, Phillip Klass. Thank you for adding new substance to the discussion. Are you a government asset?

...it’s demon manifestations, and their goal is deception...

Given the general decline our civilization worked by ordinary people, how would demons in UFOs contribute to this decline? Those things have been around for a really long time, but cannot be shown to be a cause or a symptom of our moral decline.

The demons go for co-habitation with people, and have probably already done so with almost half of the population. I fail to see the tactical advantage to demons as UFO occupants. Enlighten me.

Doesn’t mean the public can’t

That should be self-evident.

Or 4, we were dropped here on planet Australia as human trash from their civilization. So, periodically they look in on us to see whetherr we have politically / socially evolved enough to demonstrate humanity.

Maybe we’re all rooted in our forefathers sins. Maybe we are the worst of the worst, interstellar human trash.

Could be “messengers”, warning about the reality of eternal fire and brimstone but that confirmation could lead many in government to instinctively rally against such αγγέλους and spread fear and lies.

This is all a distraction. Why a Republican? Tim Burchette should know better. Humanity would take the news with a big fat yawn. How about a God that can show us anything HE wants. We aren’t amazed by burning bushes or cloud formations anymore.

Amen! I have always found the theory of life on other planets to be inconsistent with the Bible narrative.

When Lue Elizondo was asked what the public mood would be the week after "disclosure," his answer was "somber."

Other people have said that it will change humans forever because, first, we will realize we are no longer at the top of the food chain and, second, we will see that consciousness itself is not what we think it is.

Caveat: We still don't know what we are dealing with here. But, as some have said, we may not know what it is, but it isn't "nothing."

In some of the photos from Mars, there are UFOs in the skies. Has anyone ever explained them?

Apparently con-gress CAN handle a lying FIB director, but can’t handle demonology

I agree with you. The consciousness issue is going to be a biggie.

I went back and read some of the "Meier/Semjase" prophecies. Ouch! They've been dead on. Hard times are comming.

A congressman might be the very last person I’d believe about anything. I suspect his warning is a budget money 💰 grab for some project of his.
