Tennessee representative Tim Burchett has urged US president Donald Trump to release files on aliens
Tennessee representative Tim Burchett made the unsettling remark yesterday in an interview with Newsmax, during which he discussed alien life and the recent deaths of multiple US scientists.
Host Rob Finnerty asked Mr Burchett about former Florida represntative Matt Gaetz’s recent claim that a military official once briefed him on alleged “hybrid breeding programmes” involving “captured aliens” and humans.
“I don’t have the tin-foil hat on just yet, Congressman, but I’m wondering, you know, kind of how you react to that, because you are connected, you’re on the UFO subcommittee,” Finnerty asked.
“Well, I’m still a member of Congress, so I can’t really comment too much on what Matt said,” the MAGA lawmaker replied.
While he stopped short of sharing specifics, he spoke broadly about the startling information he’s received regarding alien life.
This country would have come unglued, I think, if they would have heard all that I heard
“I’ve been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is,” he added. “And I will just tell you this, if they would release the things that I’ve seen, you would stay up. You’d be up at night worrying about or thinking about this stuff.
“I’ll just tell you this: I was briefed last week on an issue, or excuse me, two weeks ago, and it would have set the Earth on – this country would have come unglued, I think, if they would have heard all that I heard.”
He then demanded full disclosure of government records on alien life, saying he was “sick of it”.

Mr Burchett added that he has pressed US president Donald Trump for greater transparency and voiced frustration over the layers of bureaucracy blocking it.
In February, Mr Trump directed the Pentagon and federal agencies to release records concerning UFOs, also referred to as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
So far, nothing has been made public, but the US government registered “Aliens.gov” as a domain earlier this month.
Earlier in the interview, Mr Burchett discussed the recent disappearances or deaths of several US scientists and military officials.
He said he doesn’t know exactly what happened, but added there are “no coincidences in this town”. “These folks disappeared or died mysteriously and the only thing that ties them together is the fact that they worked on things that are dealing with outer space,” he said. (© The Independent)
