Rep. Tim Burchett on reason for UFO cover-up: “Greed and power”
Rep. Tim Burchett argues that unidentified flying objects deserve
more attention and that both Congress and the public have a right to
access information about them, reports gazette.com.
He
told the Washington Examiner in an interview that he was worried about
“the presence of something that we cannot control in our military
airspace.”
The Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly
Resolution Office director, Sean M. Kirkpatrick, appeared before
Congress in April. He reported to the Senate Armed Services Committee
that the DOD was monitoring over 650 possible instances of unidentified
aerial phenomena.
This number is much higher than the more than
350 cases disclosed in the UAP report that the director of national
intelligence delivered to Congress in January.
Burchett says that UFOs are not a trivial matter, but rather “at the top of the priority list.”
This
Saturday will be the 76th anniversary of the Roswell Incident in New
Mexico, a mysterious event that still puzzles many people. In 1947, a
rancher reported a “flying disc” to the sheriff. It was found about 100
miles from Roswell Army Air Field. The next day, a press release
announced that the U.S. Army Air Forces had retrieved a “flying saucer”
from the site.
Later, the military claimed that the debris was from a weather balloon that had crashed.
The story has continued to intrigue and mystify people for over seven decades.
However, Congress has seldom discussed the topic until recently.
The
House Oversight Committee plans to hold a hearing on the issue and a
recent whistleblower who alleges that the government has been hiding
information from Congress. Burchett and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)
are leading the committee’s inquiry into UFOs, which are officially
called UAPs.
Burchett said he is working on planning a hearing, but he cannot share any details about the dates and witnesses.
He added that the witness list will be attacked by the skeptics, as they have done with him.
David
Charles Grusch, a 36-year-old former combat officer in Afghanistan who
received several medals, recently revealed information that he claims
has been illegally hidden from Congress.
Grusch worked for both
the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National
Reconnaissance Office. He was the NGA’s co-lead for UAP analysis and
represented the task force last summer.
He said that intelligence
operations that recover whole or partial nonhuman crafts have been kept
secret from Congress and the public.
The whistleblower said that
such discoveries have been made for decades by the United States, its
allies, and defense contractors.
Burchett said he trusts Grusch’s statements.
“I
think he’s telling the truth. I think there’s a lot that’s going to be
out there. I think the interesting thing you’re going to find out,
though, is the Pentagon and all of our research institutions, you see
them kind of warming up to it. And the reason they are is they’re
smelling dollars. And I think there’ll be an effort to discredit him,”
the Tennessee Republican said.
For Burchett, it isn’t difficult to
think the government might be holding something back. “They’ve been
holding stuff back since Roswell in ’47,” he said. “And maybe prior to
that.”
“There’s enough witnesses, enough qualified pilots,
astronauts, literally heroes of ours, that have come forward about
things and so I think it’s pretty evident that government is covering
up,” the congressman said. “And the reason we don’t have any of that
information now is a lot of it is so compartmentalized that the people
that could connect the dots are long gone.”
Asked what reason the government might have for covering these discoveries up, Burchett suggested, “Greed and power.”
A former US Air Force fighter pilot asserts that he has deciphered
the method behind the extraordinary maneuvers of UFOs, reports dailystar.co.uk.
Over
the past two decades, numerous military encounters with these enigmatic
crafts have been reported, prompting a significant investigation by the
Pentagon.
One of the most renowned sightings occurred during the
USS Nimitz encounter, where fighter pilots witnessed a UFO descending
from 28,000 feet to just above sea level in less than a second.
This
astonishing movement would imply that the craft reached a staggering
speed of 19,000 miles per hour, a velocity that would be fatal to any
human pilot.
According
to Chris Lehto, a former USAF pilot, the craft exhibits two key
characteristics: it moves without inertia, essentially lacking weight,
and it accelerates at an incredibly rapid pace without affecting its
surroundings.

Chris
believes that the explanation lies within a technology that seems
straight out of science fiction. He proposes that the answer to the UFO
enigma lies in the Alcubierre Drive, a theoretical interstellar engine
conceptualized by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994.
The
Alcubierre Drive employs a form of “space warp” technology, reminiscent
of what has been depicted in episodes of Star Trek. By bending space, a
craft inside a “warp bubble” could potentially travel at or even
surpass the speed of light without violating the known laws of physics.
While
the Alcubierre Drive remains a hypothetical concept with challenges to
overcome, Chris notes that the required energy is no longer believed to
be unattainably large.
Patents
filed with the US patent office outline the potential workings of the
drive, as well as another groundbreaking technology theorized by
American aerospace engineer Salvatore Pais.
Pais suggests that
high-powered rotating magnets could theoretically eliminate an object’s
inertia, and he has filed a patent for a starship based on this
principle.
However, Chris maintains skepticism regarding Pais’
theory. He explains that while Pais’s patent applications for the US
Navy attracted attention for their potential energy-related
applications, doubts have been raised about their feasibility. There is
speculation that they may be scams, pseudoscience, or disinformation
intended to mislead adversaries of the United States.
Alternatively,
rival theories propose that the “Tic Tac” UFO is a classified Pentagon
project testing similar advanced technologies discussed by Chris.
Scientists say they have found evidence of a new Earth-like
planet that has suddenly appeared in our Solar System and is orbiting
the Sun.
Physicists, including those from the National Astronomical Observatory
of Japan, said the planet is likely to be the mysterious ‘Planet Nine’
that was hypothesised to exist in the far outer edges of the Solar
System.
Several studies in the past have suggested there is likely an
undiscovered planet beyond the Kuiper Belt – a stellar disk of materials
such as asteroids, space rocks, comets around the Sun in the outer
Solar System past the orbit of Neptune.
Independent.co.uk reports: In the new research, published recently in The Astronomical Journal, scientists
found that some of the objects in the Kuiper Belt behave in a way
indicative of the presence of a small planet among them.
One such object, they said, is about 500 astronomical units (AU) from
the Sun, where 1 AU is the distance between the Sun and the Earth.
In comparison Neptune is at a distance of 30 AUs from the Sun.
Some of these were also found to have “odd” orbits suggesting they
are being pull by the gravity of a cosmic entity larger than those that
typically influence such objects.
Computer simulations run by the scientists indicate that the most
likely explanation for the observations was another hidden planet in the
Kuiper Belt.
“We predict the existence of an Earth-like planet,” researchers wrote in the study.
“It is plausible that a primordial planetary body could survive in
the distant Kuiper Belt as a Kuiper Belt planet (KBP), as many such
bodies existed in the early solar system,” they added.
If such a planet exists, researchers say it would have a mass about
1.5 to 3 times that of Earth with an inclination of about 30 degrees.
They say the theorised planet’s orbit would likely place it between 250 and 500 AU from the Sun.
Researchers say the discovery of such a planet close to the Kuiper
Belt can unravel new constraints on planet formation and evolution.
“In conclusion, the results of the KBP scenario support the existence
of a yet-undiscovered planet in the far outer solar system,” scientists
noted.
