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.

Funny you should mention that.

So-called alien-human interaction (if it is real and not some elaborate contagious hallucination) does seem to revolve around sex much of the time. Lot's of sexual experimentation has been reported (again, if it is real and not imaginary).

What if "they" want our consciousness

Maybe they operate a repair shop for consciousness. God knows, about 50% of the people are in dire need of repairs.

You are right, we just don't know their motives. On the other hand, they have had plenty of time to zap us.

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

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

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

The usual formulation, it seems. I’ve wondered if they realize that they are doing the government’s job?

Enlighten me.

I will try. Yes, society is in decline. Can we ever recover from it? I don’t know. I hope so. I love America, and don’t wish to see us fall apart and collapse. I am not completely convinced, however, that this is what fallen angels/demons want either. It’s possible that they would like to see a well ordered society too, just one without Jesus Christ being the center of.
BTW, I agree with you, that demons/fallen angels have cohabited with women, like back in Genesis 6, from which the Nephilim were born. Now they really wreaked havoc on the earth. I am reasonably sure, that Noah’s Flood, was to kill off the Nephilim, the bodies of whom are still strewn across the landscape of the world. I have seen 3 myself. The sleeping lady of west Texas, the old man of the mountain in New Hampshire and another one in Cebu. One of my friends told me he saw one in El Nido.
The tactical advantage, if you want to call it that, of demons/ fallen angels, as occupants of UFOs. I am not sure I would call it an advantage. I would simply say, their whole mission, is to lead people away from Jesus Christ. If they can get people to be more concerned with thinking, that ancient star people seeded the earth with life, then they have succeeded in deceiving the world, and have succeeded in leading people away from the God of the universe. Their advantage, as you call it, is simply deception.
That has been their goal, since God told Satan the seed of the woman would crush his head. That would be Jesus Christ.
I think angels are due respect, but we ought not be seeking them out, like in Genesis 6. They are powerful beings, like one angel, killed every first born child and animal in Egypt and one angel, killed 185,000 of Sennacherib’s army. They are not, however, more powerful than God.
I hope this helps. It’s my understanding of the scriptures. 👍
Best to you and yours.

With God or the angels, I don't think that would take a ship.

Release the info and we will decide if we can handle it.

Agreed. Right now, if we’re lucky, we get to spend 80ish years on this planet being treated like little babies who couldn’t handle knowledge that some wanna-be overlord thinks would be too much for us. Disclose everything and let the chips fall where they may.

That’s certainly what it feels like. The main difference is that we can see/touch the other 3. Here we’re supposed to just ‘believe’ based on hearsay.

“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.”

Except they are not new... They have been here forever...

I believe it’s demonic, and the goal is to prepare those “left behind” to go with the alien abduction rationalization instead of the truth.

It’s going to be interesting, how those left behind, try to explain the disappearance of millions. I have no doubt they might think we were all abducted by aliens. Who knows how they will explain it, but I think they will have to explain it, or explain it away, as the case may be.

Hell, we can’t handle terrestrial life forms (democrats).

I would add one element to your enlightened analysis.

Their whole mission isn't just to lead people away from Christ. That's only the beginning of their mission.

They have something in mind for those people who they lead away from Christ (though I'll bet you were thinking in that direction also). Whatever their goal, it seems to be similar to what was hinted at in Gen 6.

See Post #76 above.

No one is expecting you to 'believe' in anything.

Who do you think is doing that?

For over 70 years the Department of Defense has stigmatized the UFO issue and anyone who says they have seen a UFO (particularly if such person is in the military).

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

“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?”

Definitely tied to Spiritual Consciousness.
