Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett says he’s seen UFO pictures, videos that ‘defy’ logic
Burchett (R-Tenn.) appeared on NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” on Tuesday, days after President Trump said the Pentagon would release documents on unidentified aerial phenomena “very, very soon.”
“These people are seeing something out there,” he said of the recent uptick in UFO sightings across the US.
“I’ve seen pictures and video of things that defy any reason that we have, and everybody says, ‘Well, it’s our stuff, it’s the Russians, it’s the Chinese.'”
However, Burchett — a member of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets — dismissed the idea that what’s being spotted is man-made technology.
“If it’s the Chinese, ma’am, they would own us. If it was the Russians, they wouldn’t be bogged down in Ukraine,” Burchett said.
He further pointed out that if it were human tech, specifically from the US, the government would never risk using its own people to operate the crafts.
“If it was ours, we would never risk our military fighting men and women in half-a-billion-dollar aircraft out with these things that they’re spotting,” he told Vargas.
“These things can hover for hours on end, then they can just shoot straight up, they can do angles.”
Burchett also recalled a chilling conversation with a Navy admiral who described a craft detected underwater on sonar that was traveling “over 200 miles an hour” and was “almost as big as a football field.”
“We don’t have anything of that capability or that size,” Burchett said.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
