Congressman Tim Burchett, who has long been trying to get the United States government to come clean with all of its findings regarding UFOs, is once again calling for more transparency.
“This thing is a huge cover-up, for whatever reason,” Rep. Burchett told NewsNation anchor Natasha Zouves. “And I just feel like America is ready, we need to know, and to stop with all the shenanigans.”
The UFO hearing this morning was a total joke. We should have heard from people who could talk about things they'd personally seen, but instead the witnesses were government officials with limited knowledge who couldn't give real answers to serious questions. pic.twitter.com/hddRYupW3u

Burchett, like anyone else who has seen the declassified “Tic Tac” footage taken from the cockpit of a American fighter jet, wants to understand how an aircraft can behave in the manner seen in the videos.
“If you were human and make the turns that have been seen in some of this footage, you would literally turn into a ketchup package,” he said. “I mean, you would be gone … it’s not showing a vapor trail, it’s something else, out of this world.
“We’ve been covering this thing up since the ’40s, since Roswell or before then, I believe,” Burchett added.
“I don’t trust government,” he continued. “There’s an arrogance about it and I think the American public can handle it and they need to release everything and that includes if they do have a craft, which I believe at some point there was. We have obtained some materials that are not of this world that are being studied by different members of industry, I’ve been told.”
In September of last year, Dr. Gary Nolan of the Nolan Lab at Stanford University admitted that he and dozens of other scientists are working on various UFO cases.
In 2020, an astrophysicist named Eric W. Davis, who worked as a subcontractor and then a consultant for the Pentagon UFO program, told the New York Times that he examined materials that “we couldn’t make it ourselves.”
He also said he gave classified briefings to a Defense Department agency in March of 2020 in which the retrieval and examination of “off-world vehicles not made on this earth” were discussed.
Further backing up Burchett’s claim, in July of 2020, the Senate Intelligence Committee requested Pentagon UFO investigators focus more on those that are specifically “not man-made.”
“Part of the problem is, there’s two reports,” Burchett said. “There’s one that has been made public and there’s one that’s classified. So if a Congressperson is briefed on the classified briefing, basically they are not allowed, by law, to even talk on the issue of what’s in that, even if it’s something they already know.”
Burchett also quoted a passage from the Bible which he claims refers to UFOs.
Last week, the Pentagon finally released its much anticipated (and delayed) UFO report, which now covers 510 cases. In that report, 171 UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, as the government prefers to call UFOs) sightings were “uncharacterized and unattributed.”
“Some of these uncharacterized UAP appear to have demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities, and require further analysis,” the report also read.
What those things are, thanks to government obfuscation, is still a mystery to the American public.
