A UFO researcher and a Republican politician believe that the US government is hiding some information about UFOs and are calling for transparency of such information.
American ufologist Garrett Graff, author of “UFO: The Inside Story of the U.S. Government’s Search for Extraterrestrial Life Here and Beyond“, and Republican Congressman Tim Burchett agrees that US authorities should finally tell the public everything they know about UFOs.
Recently both took part in the “Meet the pressprogram on the NBC News news site and spoke about their concerns about the presentation and withholding of information about UFOs by authorities. Garrett Graff (left) and Tim Burchett (right)
“The government is hiding a certain level of its knowledge and understanding of what some of these phenomena are. There’s something real here.
“There are objects in our airspace whose nature we do not know. They may represent advanced new enemy technology or science that we do not understand,” Graff said.
Graff is confident that authorities can conceal both their own secret developments in military aircraft, drones or other technologies as well as the objects found to have invaded state airspace. And that the government probably knows much more about this than it tells the public.
At the same time, Graff is convinced that the authorities are not, in fact, hiding any “significant knowledge” about direct alien spacecraft, aliens and contacts with extraterrestrial life.
And the fact that we have not yet discovered the presence of aliens in space may be because we have not yet developed the technology to look for them.
For his part, Congressman Tim Burchett believes that the authorities are spending a suspiciously large amount of money on something that supposedly does not exist.
“You know, we’ve been told these things since 1947 [UFOs and aliens] don’t exist, and yet Harry Reid (former Democratic leader in the US Senate) gave millions of dollars to investigate them.
“Yes, they spent a lot of time, effort and money telling the American public that they don’t exist. And yet they investigate it.”
Burchett went on to explain how his own initiative to investigate reports of UFO sightings by pilots was blocked in Congress: “I have proposed an amendment to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) reauthorization bill.
“It said that if a commercial airline pilot detects some kind of anomaly in the sky, or UFO as we used to call them, and they file a report with the FAA, that if they do, that report will also be submitted to Congress submitted. Well, in the end this amendment was blocked.
“The representative immediately told me that it was blocked. And I asked why? And he said the intelligence community was blocking it. I asked, wait a minute. Do you mean commission? And he said, no, it’s the community.”
