Americans would be ‘up at night worrying’ if they knew the truth about alien life, Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett says
New York Post ^ | 4-3-26 | Richard Pollina

Posted on 04/04/2026 4:29:16 AM PDT by MarlonRando

Burchett — a member of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets — recalled that he was briefed two weeks ago “on an issue” about extraterrestrial life that “would have set the Earth” on fire and “unglued” the country if released.

When Finnerty played a clip of former Rep. Matt Gaetz alleging knowledge of alien-human hybrid breeding programs, Burchett stopped short of directly addressing the explosive claims. “I’m still a member of Congress, so I can’t really comment too much on what Matt said,” Burchett told Finnerty.

“Wait, seriously?” Finnerty slightly pushed back.

“I’m being 100% serious,” Burchett replied.

Typical congress-critter. We're much smarter, much more intelligent, more informed, more sophisticated than you public hicks.

You want the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

There’s always some space kadet whose understanding of physics approaches that of a grasshopper. It doesn’t matter how smart you are you still have the same rules. Physics is the same for your theoretical smart civilization as it is for us. You have to go an appreciable fraction of the speed of light to cover the distances between the stars. And Newton doesn’t go away; the energy needed to do this goes up with square of the speed. A 100kg mass going 10% has approximately the same energy as was released by the castle bravo test. And that’s just 100kg going 10% of C. Interstellar travel is science fiction. It isn’t engineering it’s physics. Get it?

As of now, I think all of this is a smoke screen to hide new technology.

So far, no one has been able to answer the question: “Why would aliens go to the time, trouble, and expense to visit Earth?”
It takes a most egotistical assessment of our importance to believe aliens would visit Earth.

Good question. Why would they bother even if it weren’t impossible.

There were always limits in physics…..then came Chuck Yeager.

What proof do you have of that?

President Trump has called for disclosure of UAP/UFO files by all agencies, J.D. Vance said that aliens are probably demons, and Tulsi, Rubio, and Ratcliffe have said something to the effect that, regarding UAPs, there's something there–our military pilots and others are encountering something real and unknown.

Are you accusing them of participating in a conspiracy to mislead the public?

I agree. They come from here. Just from another time and dimension. Elon Musk is one of them. I mean, just look at the guy. Brilliant in our world but probably just average for his true species...

“”Yawn. There aren’t any extraterrestrial aliens visiting from another solar system for the same reason we can’t visit other solar systems. You can’t get there from here and they (if they exist) can’t get here from there. They’re too far away. Nearest star is something like 30 trillion miles away. The Saturn probe took 7 years to get to a planet one billion miles away. The nearest star is 30,000 times that far so 7 years times 30,000 = 210,000 year journey. And that’s just the closest star. We can look, but we can’t touch.””

Ever heard of wormholes?

Even if we don’t have the knowledge or technology... that does not mean that it is not possible.

So.... what ‘other dimension’ are you positing that Musk is from? (asking for a friend)

Can you show me a wormhole aliens could use to transverse the Universe?

J.D. Vance says the aliens may be demons. In other words, interdimensional.

The first rule of the Dunning Kruger club is you don’t know you’re in the Dinning Kruger club, but you appear to be a member. It isn’t engineering tootsie roll it’s the fundamental physics. Let me know when you find a wormhole.
