Republican Congressman Tim Burchett from Tennessee has claimed that the US government is withholding evidence of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that defy our current understanding of physics. Burchett believes that numerous credible witnesses, including pilots and astronauts, have come forward with information about UFO sightings, suggesting that the government is covering up the truth. The congressman argues that much of the information is compartmentalized, making it difficult to connect the dots and reveal the full extent of the government’s knowledge on the subject. When asked why the government might be hiding this evidence, Burchett replied, “Greed and power.”
In June, Burchett filed an amendment requiring the Department of Defense to declassify documents and records related to publicly known sightings of UFOs. This move comes amid growing interest in UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), as well as recent disclosures by the Department of Defense, which released three unclassified Navy videos showing encounters between US Navy pilots and UAPs.
