A US lawmaker says he believes there is a government “cover-up” of UFOs and is tired of what he characterizes as diversionary tactics and sabotage as millions of dollars appear to disappear into a black hole. Ta.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), who has been at the forefront of efforts to get to the bottom of the UFO controversy, expressed his frustration with the government regarding the issue in an interview with FOX News Digital.
“I think there’s a cover-up,” he said. “So when you release a file, it’s a cover-up, it’s just half-blacked out. And then you have one group saying there’s one federal agency saying something exists, and another federal agency saying it’s not. When you say it doesn’t exist, there is a cover-up. It’s a cover-up.
“So, yes, it exists. Whatever the reason, the cover-up is real. And you spend tens of millions of dollars on something you say doesn’t exist, and yet you keep spending money. I wonder.

Burchett was one of about a dozen people who attended a top-secret conference on UFOs at the SCIF (Secret Compartmented Information Facility) last week, but left feeling “like everything else, disappointed.”

“The whole thing is so divided that I really think we’re never going to get to the bottom of it until there’s a commander in chief who says enough is enough. We just have to get this issue out.” Let’s clear the air.’ And let’s move on,” Burchett said.
“As I’ve said before, this is not about little green men or flying saucers, this is about the federal government spending tens of millions of dollars on something that at least some federal officials say doesn’t exist. Still they will not release all the files. ”

Burchett said there were times when she felt like she would get an answer, only to be told she had to ask someone else.
“And that person is not in SCIF. Then we start all over again. We need a coliseum to get everyone together in one place so we can answer all the questions.”

“If they (the federal government) have nothing to hide, they’re certainly doing a great job of hiding it,” Burchett said with a grin. “Also, if[UFOs]don’t exist, why do they continue to spend tens of millions of dollars on research? And why don’t they declassify the documents?”
