Congressman Burchett Claims Government Secretly Hides UFO Evidence

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., said on Tuesday that he continues to believe the government is hiding the truth about UFOs after appearing in a recent interview with Dr. Steven Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project.

The mummified remains in question are approximately three feet tall and exhibit three fingers and three toes, according to researchers who have been unable to explain their origins.

Greer noted that tests conducted in Mexico City revealed unusual metallurgy in the specimens, which does not match any known modern human metal composition. Additionally, organic resin found at the center of a sphere within one artifact was carbon-dated to 25,000 years ago.

Burchett argued that defense contractors producing missile defense systems—and potentially possessing UFO-related information—are unlikely to disclose such details voluntarily. “We can’t go to them and say, ‘Give me your records,’” he said. “It’s not like it’s a government agency.”

The representative also suggested President Donald Trump holds the key to transparency: “The war pimps at the Pentagon have his ear, and they’re going to try to fold this into anything else but giving us disclosure.”

Burchett emphasized the need for immediate action: “We’ve got excellent testimony,” he said. “We’ve got professionals, we’ve got legislators, we’ve got eyewitnesses, we’ve got photos. We’ve got to have the man at the top come out and say, ‘We’re going to release this stuff immediately and not wait for Washington to hold a bunch of dadgum hearings.’”
