Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) on Wednesday discussed his knowledge surrounding aliens, telling a Newsmax host he would be “up at night” if “the things that I’ve seen” were released.
“I’ve been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is, and I’ll just tell you this, if they would release the things that I’ve seen, you would stay up at — you’d be up at night worrying about or — thinking about this stuff,” Burchett told Newsmax host Rob Finnerty on his show.
“We just need to disclose it all. I’m sick of it, you’re — ah, well, — I was briefed, I will just tell you this, I was briefed last week on an issue — or excuse me, two weeks ago — and it would’ve set the earth on — this country would’ve come unglued, I think, if they would’ve heard all that I’d heard.”
Burchett has previously suggested that the U.S. government may have purposefully hidden information about unidentified anomalous phenomena, often known as UFOs.
“I think there’s a cover-up,” Burchett said in an appearance on NewsNation’s “The Hill” in April 2024.
“There are tens of millions of dollars that we’ve spent investigating these things. We’ve had departments tell us that they have recovery units, but they won’t release full reports. Everything’s covered up,” the Tennessee Republican added.

Congress has concluded that they have an element of truth worth disclosing. And so has the President.
Where are they?
Someplace we can’t get at them.
What do they want?
The answer is no, no matter what.
That aint't Coast to Coast.
Obama did say it.
Once again, nothing but second-hand information. A 'friend-of-a-friend-told-me' game of Chinese Whispers.
I'm noticing a pattern.
The people who appear to be getting these alien briefings are Republicans. I'm wondering if someone behind the scene is setting-up Republicans to look like gullible rubes.
We and President Trump are superior to Congress. We want the truth to come out and the lies to be exposed. Congress isn't worthy of our interest. Self-serving grifters.

Question - who has ultimate authority to decide what is or is not allowed to be declassified?
Many Presidents have promised to release documents relating to the UFO phenomenon. But, little of consequence has ever been made public.
Perhaps there really is nothing “to declassify” or are there powers above the Presidency.
“
From my clearance training, the President can classify and declassify information.
And he can delegate classification and declassification authority.
Plus classified info does initially have marking on it “declassify on __/__/__”
And the President is the highest classification authority
The answer is "No" to whatever they want.

How sweet it is !
I wonder what he saw if anything .
You are noticing a pattern?
You are a troll. All you have is a pattern.
Keep trolling and your income from the USAF will disappear.
He should get a pre-emptive pardon from Trump…and then spill the beans.
I think you might be right-
I believe there is a power structure not only within our own government but in the science community as a whole. I would bet there are things that the president is totally unaware of. How would he declassify technology he may not even knows exist.
Hang on for a tick. Suppose they have some sexy female aliens? How do you say "I'd hit that" in Interstellar Alien Language?

Translation: "We'd let Laz hit us."
They want me to hit it.
And the answer is YES.
This man has always been one of my favorite members of the House.
I know this from experience.;-) Might have been a very real dream.

Don't be so closed-minded!
