Senior Congressman Sounds The Alarm After Viewing Classified UFO Footage, 'We Can't Handle It'

Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett is sounding an alarm over classified, unreleased footage of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), which he claims raises urgent questions about the extent of human capability to respond to potential extraterrestrial technology.

In his recent appearance on the “Event Horizon” podcast, Burchett, a Republican, expressed concern over our potential to comprehend, much less handle, alien technology if such exist.

“If they’re out there, they’re out there, and if they have this kind of technology, then they could turn us into a charcoal briquette,” Burchett stated, underlining the potential magnitude of the situation.

Burchett, a sitting member of the House Oversight Committee, drew attention to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), the official government terminology for UFOs.

His committee has previously held hearings on potential threats and unexplained UAP sightings, giving credence to the importance of this subject matter.

The representative further voiced his opinion on humanity’s readiness for potential alien encounters during the podcast, stating, “We can’t handle it. We couldn’t fight them off what we wanted to. That’s why I don’t think they’re a threat to us, or they would already have been.”

The catalyst for Burchett’s public remarks was the recent allegations made by decorated Air Force veteran and supposed whistleblower, David Grusch.

Grusch’s claims center around a covert UFO retrieval program purportedly conducted by the government.

Are Aliens on Earth?

In response to these startling assertions, the House Oversight Committee, led by Burchett and fellow Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, is in the process of organizing a hearing.

Notably, Susan Gough, a spokesperson for the Department of Defense, has previously communicated to Fox News Digital that there is no “verifiable information to substantiate the claims.”

Despite Gough’s statement, Senator Marco Rubio, R-Fla., confirmed that other high-ranking government officials with high clearances have come forward to back Grusch’s allegations.

Rubio emphasized the goal to “gather as much of that information as we can,” while also highlighting that these individuals are “fearful of their jobs…fearful of harm coming to them.”

Rubio refrained from commenting on the credibility of these claims but urged for a mature understanding and open-minded examination of the situation.

Further, the Senate recently advanced the Intelligence Authorization Act, enhancing protection for whistleblowers and promoting transparency in investigation processes.

The updated Act language stipulates that government contractors in possession of materials or information related to UAPs must notify Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, Director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), within 60 days.

AARO, a Pentagon specialized department tasked with investigating UFOs, is currently examining over 800 cases of UAPs, with only 2-5% deemed “truly anomalous.”

Simultaneously, NASA is also conducting parallel investigations into UFOs. Both AARO and NASA are anticipated to release separate reports this summer, promising a very interesting season for those following this matter closely.
