Government “Absolutely Lying and Deceiving” Americans About UFOs, Congressman Says

The long-awaited transparency promised by both US Congressional UAP hearings and Canada’s comprehensive Sky Canada Project has delivered underwhelming results, revealing more about government resistance to disclosure than actual UAP phenomena. While both countries promised groundbreaking investigations they both lie about UFOs. The reality shows a coordinated effort to manage information flow while maintaining institutional control over potentially explosive revelations. Congressman Eric Burlison says a lot about UFOs.

What Congressman Says about UFOs

Congressman Eric Burlison’s investigation into UAP phenomena has uncovered a disturbing pattern of witness intimidation that explains why meaningful disclosure remains elusive. Not only that, but he mentioned that the next UFO hearing will not be happening till September. The case of David Grusch, who provided bombshell testimony about crash retrieval programs, illustrates the personal cost of coming forward. He stated to reporter Joe Khalil “He lost all of his benefits, all of it, like his pension, his medical benefits,” Burlison revealed, explaining why potential witnesses remain reluctant to testify. The systematic destruction of whistleblowers’ careers serves as a powerful deterrent, ensuring that “there’s a huge sacrifice that these people have to make before they come forward.”

Perhaps more disturbing is Burlison’s investigation into whether the military is conducting psychological operations on its own personnel, essentially creating fake UAP incidents to deceive troops. When confronted with suggestions that some UAP encounters might be elaborate military pranks/hoaxes, Burlison pushed back, stating with Mat Laslo on Ask a Pol “you can’t tell me that there’s a widespread hazing activity within the Air Force that it’s like pervasive.” The implications are staggering — either UAP encounters represent genuine phenomena, or the military is systematically deceiving its own people. As Burlison concluded, “what they just admitted is that the federal government is absolutely lying and deceiving the American people.”

Canada Sky Project UFO Report

Canada’s approach appeared more promising initially, but the July release of their Sky Canada Project report proves equally disappointing. After two and a half years of investigation, gathering information from federal departments, international partners including AARO, France, and Chile, the public received essentially “a bureaucratic manual on how Canada might investigate UAPs in the future.” The report explicitly states its goal is neither to collect evidence nor prove or disprove extraterrestrial life, instead focusing on procedural recommendations for creating reporting systems and reducing stigma.

The disconnect between Canada’s extensive research and limited public disclosure raises obvious questions. With 27% of Canadians having witnessed UAPs, only 10% reporting their sightings, and 40% not knowing who to contact, the infrastructure problem is clear. Yet after years of investigation into historical cases and international consultations, the public received only recommendations for future action rather than findings from completed research. Canadian science expert Dan Riskin identified the core issue: “every time there’s secrecy or any kind of friction in relaying what you see and telling the government about it, and then the government being transparent about what they’ve been told, it just feels like a cover-up.”

The most explosive revelations come from Burlison’s private conversations with Eric Davis, a longtime intelligence community researcher who worked for the Pentagon and CIA investigating crashed material. According to Burlison on the Timcast IRL show hosted by Tim Pool, Davis definitively stated the government knows of “four alien species” — specifically “the Grays, the Nordics, the insectoids, and the reptilians that are commonly referred to in the UFO community.” While Davis didn’t claim personal experience with these entities, his Pentagon and CIA credentials lend credibility to discussions about multiple non-human intelligences that would fundamentally challenge humanity’s understanding of its place in the universe.

This revelation helps explain the institutional resistance both countries face. As Tim Pool philosophically noted, “how would you feel if you woke up and realized you were in a rat cage your whole life and everything you knew was just some stupid rat experiment?” The implications of confirming multiple alien species would undermine fundamental assumptions about religion, science, and human significance, potentially explaining why both governments prefer procedural discussions over substantive disclosure.

Burlison is now investigating whether federal laws were violated in government deception campaigns, specifically referencing incidents where military personnel allegedly planted fake UAP evidence. “The story of the individual who went to a bar and handed photos or whatever it was, how is that not illegal?” he asked, suggesting coordinated efforts to deceive both military personnel and the public. If confirmed, such psychological operations would represent systematic abuse of power, while if denied, they raise questions about why sophisticated disinformation campaigns are necessary.

The disclosure environment has fundamentally changed since whistleblowers like David Grusch forced conversations into the public arena, but this new transparency comes with significant costs. Witnesses face career destruction, researchers operate under classification restrictions, and governments release sanitized reports that raise more questions than they answer. Even with David Grusch now working as Burlison’s advisor, the most sensitive discussions remain in classified settings, with plans to move key testimonies into SCIFs away from public scrutiny.

Both the US and Canadian approaches reveal a coordinated strategy: acknowledge the phenomenon, promise transparency, but control the narrative through limited releases and procedural delays.
