A Republican congressman has claimed that the American public would be left 'unglued' if they received the same classified briefings on extraterrestrial life that he does. Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett made the remarks during an interview with Newsmax on Wednesday, where he discussed alien life and the recent deaths of multiple US scientists.
When asked about former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz's claim that a military official briefed him on alleged 'hybrid breeding programs' involving captured aliens and humans, Burchett declined to comment directly. However, he spoke broadly about the startling information he has received, stating that he has been briefed by 'just about every alphabet agency there is'.
'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,' Burchett said. He added that a briefing he received two weeks ago 'would have set the Earth on — this country would have come unglued, I think, if they would have heard all that I heard'.
Burchett demanded full disclosure of government records on alien life, saying he was 'sick of it'. He noted that he has pressed President Donald Trump for greater transparency and voiced frustration over the layers of bureaucracy blocking it. In February, Trump directed the Pentagon and federal agencies to release records concerning UFOs and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, but nothing has been made public so far.
Earlier in the interview, Burchett discussed the recent disappearances or deaths of several US scientists and military officials. He said he does not 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. 'Overall, I think there is a connection there. And I don't think we're ever gonna know.'
