Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee has issued a strong call for transparency from federal agencies. During a Newsmax interview, Burchett expressed concerns about the secrecy surrounding the monitoring and investigation of UFOs by government agencies.
Burchett said Newsmax that “it’s time for all these alphabet agencies to come forward” when it comes to the existence of UFOs.
The congressman’s statement followed a widely circulated video showing an unidentified cylindrical object in the vicinity of a commercial airliner approaching LaGuardia Airport.
The woman who recorded the footage, Michele Reyes, reported that her attempts to seek answers from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National UFO Database were met with silence.
Burchett, who has a history of advocating for government transparency, expressed frustration with the lack of information available to him, even as a member of Congress.
He emphasized the need for full disclosure about the activities and expenditures related to the investigation of UFOs, citing the Pentagon’s inability to pass a financial audit.
“I just want total openness. You know, I want transparency. I want to know what they spend. In the history of audits, our Pentagon has never passed an audit,” he said during an appearance on “Saturday Agenda.”
Burchett said his attempt to release the government’s UFO files was shot down during a theatrical display on the Senate floor.
“Looking back on it now, I’m not sure if that wasn’t just staged, because it’s clear there’s something going on. More than half of the country thinks something is going on. I think it’s time for all these alphabet agencies to come out.
“You know, they even admitted they had recovery teams. What are they fixing now?” he asked.
His comments about the existence of recovery teams within these agencies have increased the intrigue, leaving the public wondering what, if anything, will be recovered.
