Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett claims Americans would be “up at night worrying” and “come unglued” if they knew the truth about aliens. He also said that what he’s been briefed on about extraterrestrial life would “set the Earth” on fire if they released it to the public.
Burchett, a member of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, told Newsmax, “I’ve been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is. And, I’ll just say this, if they were to release the things that I’ve seen, you’d be up at night, worrying about, thinking about this stuff.”
When asked about former Congressman Matt Gaetz’s recent claim that the government briefed him on a top-secret alien-human hybrid program, he replied to host Rob Finnerty, “I’m still a member of Congress, so I can’t really comment too much on what Matt said.”
“Wait, seriously?” Finnerty shot back.
“I’m being 100% serious,” Burchett replied.
Matt Gaetz’s claims came just days before Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison said he had seen classified footage of UFOs that defies any conventional explanation.
Congressman Tim Burchett claims aliens are real
Congressman Burchett also claimed on Monday that, in an interview with TMZ, a member of the United States government informed him that aliens have traveled to our planet in a spacecraft and have communicated with humans.
When pushed back on his claim, Burchett said, “I’m not going to lie to you. I’d take a lie detector… you wanna put me on a polygraph, I’ll take it.”
The death of UFO investigator Nick Pope comes in the wake of a ‘dark trend’
Congressman Burchett’s latest claims came just hours before an announcement about the death of England’s most famous UFO expert, Nick Pope. The 60-year-old former UFO investigator at the British Ministry of Defense revealed in February that doctors had diagnosed him with Stage 4 esophageal cancer that had spread to his liver.
The Tennessee Congressman recently issued a warning about what he refers to as a “dark” trend of deaths and disappearances of multiple scientists connected to UFO research. Several prominent American scientists have disappeared or died mysteriously since July 2024.
