Congressman: UFO Truth Would Set Earth On Fire

Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett appeared on Newsmax and described sitting in a classified meeting where he asked what the president has access to regarding UAP programs. According to Burchett, an unelected official told him directly that the president of the United States is on a need-to-know basis. Burchett, who sits on the House Oversight and Foreign Affairs Committees and holds clearances across multiple intelligence agencies, described the secrecy as structured in layers deep enough to outlast any four-year administration. He referenced a separate briefing received approximately two weeks before the interview aired, stating that what he heard in that session would have caused the country to come completely unglued and produced a public demand for answers had it been released.

Burchett also addressed claims made separately by former Congressman Matt Gaetz, who stated he had been briefed by a uniformed military official about programs involving captured nonhuman beings. Burchett declined to comment specifically on Gaetz’s statements but noted that people with knowledge of these programs are dying or disappearing, adding unprompted that he himself is not suicidal. This now marks a recurring pattern among officials connected to UAP disclosure.

The second voice this week comes from Dr. Anna Brady-Estevez, a Yale-educated scientist and former National Science Foundation program director, speaking on Reality Check with Ross Coulthart. Brady-Estevez is the founding partner of American Deep Tech, a venture capital firm focused on UAP-derived and UAP-inspired technologies. According to Brady-Estevez, during her tenure at the NSF she organized two government science events in December 2024 and January 2025 where UAP and anomalous phenomena were placed on the main agenda alongside US launch capabilities, satellites, artificial intelligence, and in-space manufacturing. One speaker at those events stated on record that he had personally worked with what he believed was nonhuman technology. Brady-Estevez confirmed she believed him.
