Tim Burchett: Americans should know what the government knows about UFOs
politico.com ^ | ANDREW ZHANG

Posted on 07/22/2023 1:40:45 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said he is 100% sure that the federal government is covering up documents about UFOs — and he’s not alone among members of Congress in trying to push for more information about what could be out there.

“We’ve requested documents, we’ve gone to interview pilots and been stonewalled by our Pentagon. It’s ridiculous, it’s been going on since the ‘40s,” Burchett said Saturday afternoon on Fox News. “We are taking the gloves off.”

Public interest in the possibility of extraterrestrial life, officially labeled as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) in government circles, has bubbled for decades — often fraught with conspiracies — and seen a recent resurgence. Lawmakers in both chambers of Congress have ramped up their efforts for greater disclosures to allow Americans to better understand the phenomenon.

Burchett, one of Capitol Hill’s loudest voices for increased government transparency around UFOs, sits on the House Oversight Committee, where Republicans have pushed to host a long-anticipated hearing next Wednesday on the recent rise in reports of UFOs. The Pentagon has been investigating that trend since at least April. It said then that no proof of alien life had surfaced.

The Oversight hearing next week will feature David Grusch, a former intelligence employee who claimed in June that the government had a secret UFO recovery program that found a “partially intact craft of non-human remains.” While at least one Democrat has helped Republican colleagues push the issue, members say they have faced pushback from different corners and seen witnesses drop out.

If full disclosure came out I would feel the WOW for about an hour and then go back to living life as always. At this point I just dont get the bfd over the subject.

Don’t get the idea of another life form disproving the supremacy of God Christ. Are we worried that this is another creator who made this life form and he is vying for galaxy Lordship? Faith says that God created it all. Known and unknown. Somehow I doubt God saw these ships and said, what was that?!?!?!

UFOs, another distraction from Hunter Biden and the corruption of the DOJ.

We could only hope and pray it was more earth shattering and life altering than that. Imagine it meant we didnt have to pay taxes. I assume the next property tax bill will still be in the mail.

I’d rather know what the government knows about illegal aliens.

You’re a low information political hack or you wouldn’t say that.

“Don’t get the idea of another life form disproving the supremacy of God”

And where did I ever say any such thing?

You seriously believe that UFOs are more to be concerned about than a thoroughly corrupt, un-elected leader of the free world??? Not to mention the hundreds of other such scoundrels in DC running things…

Seriously??

ETs could have their own TV show or podcast and life will still be the same for us.

“We’ve got a zombie, installed through corruption, as President.. a guy who is practically brain dead but we find that he and his family have been deeply involved in millions of dollars in bribery and corruption with foreign enemies…

…and this guy is concerned about UFOs…”

I know this is a hard swallow....

but the two may be related:

“no measurement of them that makes it possible for us to put them in any pattern that would be profitable for a deliberate custom sort of analysis to take the next step.”

This guy is deeply out of the loop—no need to know.

Right, every reported event is a distraction from every other event. Because nothing ever actually happens.

I really like Tim.

I agree , we need to know who / what the .gov has been talking and dealing with.

I see the Darwinists and Christian bashers and laodicians are out in full force.

That’s okay,, it will become clear who and what they are soon.

I’ll be the short one smiling in the “ I told ya so line”

;-)

It is always some guys upside down fedora launched upside down at dusk or just after using black and white photog shot at 4 miles or so by someone tripping over a beagle. Always a hoot and most convincing.
Most are tired of the game. Put up or shut up. Now back to Bonanza.
