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.

That may be the message of some of "them"...but others ("visitors" if you will) are presumably saying that Jesus was a great teacher but not divine.

As some on FR have said, that tells us all we need to know about the identity of these visitors (if they even exist).

The Bible isn’t a technical guide to the universe. It contains no ET narrative.

The UFO issue will eventually eclipse the FBI problem.

“”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.”

Exactly right...

I’d rather deal with interstellar aliens than the FBI.

It’s funny how the government got over 50-70 years have been hush hush about aliens, but now once people are seeing the truth about government corruption and deception of the public, they try the “Look!!! Squirrel!!!” distraction only replace word squirrel with alien/UFO. So basically their tactic, deception then distraction. Rinse and repeat.

The 12th century cheer-leading is strong in this thread...

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?

We need to stop thinking like humans (i.e., "If they want to shoot us with their rayguns, they would have already done so").
