Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said he is 100% sure that the federal government is covering up documents about UFOs — and he’s not alone among members of Congress in trying to push for more information about what could be out there.
“We’ve requested documents, we’ve gone to interview pilots and been stonewalled by our Pentagon. It’s ridiculous, it’s been going on since the ‘40s,” Burchett said Saturday afternoon on Fox News. “We are taking the gloves off.”
The Phenomenon – Good place to start for anyone interested.
The scientist and military intelligence officer leading the Pentagon’s task force for unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) — which the public calls UFOs — says being caught off guard by “intelligent or extraterrestrial technical supremacy” remains a top concern as investigators analyze more than 800 cases of mysterious sightings reported by U.S. military personnel dating back decades.
“Data and science has to guide where you go, and we will follow the data,” Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick said last month, in an exclusive first interview after his appointment to the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), along with a bipartisan group of five other senators, introduced extraordinary legislation on July 13, suggesting that the U.S. government or private contractors may secretly possess recovered UFOs and “biological evidence of living or deceased non-human intelligence.”
According to the legislation, “non-human intelligence” is defined as “any sentient intelligent non-human lifeform, regardless of nature or ultimate origin which may be presumed responsible for” UFOs.
… If those “recovered technologies” are potentially dangerous, then I can see why the feds should be able to take them, subject to Second Amendment considerations, of course. Light saber, cold dead hands, etc.
If, however, some lucky rancher in New Mexico’s high desert stumbles across enough pieces of crashed alien technology on their property that it can be used to reverse engineer flying cars, say, a miracle fuel, replicators, or the like, he or she should be able to exploit it. This country’s fracking revolution was essentially enabled by the fact that U.S. landowners (unlike their counterparts almost anywhere else in the world) own the mineral rights under their property. Allowing the feds to simply expropriate the alien bounty found on private land not only is un-American, but also might well mean that it will go to waste, buried in red tape or some secretive, remote warehouse.
House Republicans on the Oversight Committee are making preparations for a hearing later this month on government efforts to try to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs).
No witnesses have been announced, nor has the scope of the hearing been made public. But the hearing will come a little over a month after a Department of Defense whistleblower claimed the U.S. has retrieved several aircraft of “non-human origin.”
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader, is pushing legislation to create a commission with broad authority to declassify government documents about U.F.O.s and extraterrestrial matters, in an attempt to force the government to share all that it knows about unidentified phenomena.
The measure offers the possibility of pushing back against the conspiracy theories that surround discussions of U.F.O.s and fears that the government is hiding critical information from the public.
Although this is very encouraging, until & unless the overly restrictive UAP security classification guide is revised, there will be little public benefit as virtually all recent data, including UAP videos, will be classified. Congress should press ahead for this guidance to be… https://t.co/JLQdPQoMka

A majority of U.S. eligible voters believe the U.S. government knows more about UFOs than the public ahead of an investigation into claims about the existence of spacecraft, according to new polling exclusively conducted for Newsweek.
The poll, carried out by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, comes as the House of Representatives has said it would launch an investigation after a former intelligence official said the U.S. was in possession of non-human vehicles.
We did it. I led a Galileo Project expedition to the Pacific Ocean to retrieve spherules of the first recognized interstellar meteor, IM1, and brought back to Harvard College Observatory more than 50 that lay on the deep ocean floor for nearly a decade.
These sub-millimeter-sized spheres, which appear under a microscope as beautiful metallic marbles, were concentrated along the expected path of IM1, about 85 kilometers off the coast of Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.
The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office leads the department’s efforts in investigating and understanding what it calls unidentified aerial phenomena, more commonly known as UFOs.
The office, which is within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, was formed last July due to a provision within the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act that expanded the scope of the previous iteration of the office, the Airborne Object Identification and Management Group.

Roswell UFO festival celebrates 27 years of extraterrestrial activities
The annual Roswell UFO Festival has long been a popular destination for extraterrestrial enthusiasts, featuring live music, parades, and an array of guest speakers.
Taking place last weekend, the three-day festival was first put on in 1996, paying homage to the Roswell incident, one of the nation’s most famous UFO sightings, which occurred one New Mexico summer in 1947.
In a June 26 interview with NewsNation, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) stated that multiple individuals had corroborated a whistleblower’s explosive allegations of a secret, decades-long UFO crash retrieval and reverse-engineering effort.
As the top Republican on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and a member of the so-called Gang of Eight, Rubio’s extraordinary comments carry particular weight.
David Grusch, a retired career intelligence officer, continues to generate attention with his claims that a secret UFO recovery program has operated beyond congressional oversight for decades. Grusch is receiving a mixed reception on and off Capitol Hill.
Still, the Senate Intelligence Committee’s vice chairman, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), appears to think Grusch might be on to something.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) believes unidentified flying objects need to be taken more seriously and that both Congress and the public have a right to know about them.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Burchett expressed concern that “we have something that we do not control in our military airspace.”
Sean M. Kirkpatrick, the director of the Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, testified before Congress in April. He told the Senate Armed Services Committee at the time that the DOD was tracking over 650 potential cases of unidentified aerial phenomena.
Beyond the Stigma; a UAP (UFO) Call to Action – with Top Gun Grad David Fravor
Congress is advancing legislation ordering government contractors to hand over any information about “non-earth origin or exotic unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or UAP, better known as UFOs. The bill, recently approved by the Senate’s intelligence committee, follows claims by David Grusch, a whistleblower who analyzed UAP as part of a Pentagon task force, that the government has attempted to reverse-engineer craft of “non-human origin.”
Some regard these sensational developments as fresh evidence that Congress has fallen victim to hysteria. Yet to dismiss them entirely ignores the serious work done by lawmakers to yield conclusive answers to this enduring mystery.
A top US intelligence officer claims World War II American forces retrieved a UFO that crashed in Italy in 1933 – and Italian researchers say they have the documents to prove it.
Former top National Reconnaissance Office staffer David Grusch shocked the world last month when he revealed he had blown the whistle in sworn testimony to Congress and government watchdogs, about an alleged secret US program that has obtained multiple ‘non-human’ flying saucers.
Recently, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., announced she and other lawmakers had secured “full-funding” for a new U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) office specifically created to research Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings.
The announcement follows years of Gillibrand and other lawmakers like Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., trying to allocate full-funding for the government office designed to study sightings of what are more commonly known as UFOs.
