A MAGA congressman warned that Americans would become ‘unglued’ if they were fully briefed on what he recently learned about aliens.
Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett, a Republican, said the country deserved ‘full disclosure’ following a recent classified briefing about extraterrestrial life two weeks ago.
‘The public has a right to know, dadgummit,’ Burchett told Newsmax on Wednesday. ‘It’s your tax dollars. Let’s get it out there.’
‘I think if [the public] would’ve heard all that I heard, they would demand answers,’ Burchett said.
Burchett has long been one of the most vocal lawmakers pushing for answers on alien-related topics, though he did not elaborate on his recent claim.
‘I’ve been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is, and, I’ll just say this, if they were to release the things that I’ve seen, you’d be up at night, worrying about, thinking about this stuff,’ he said.
The Tennessee lawmaker added that President Donald Trump did not ‘know the questions to ask.’
‘A few of us are going to have to get with the president and tell him what he needs to ask and where he needs to look,’ Burchett said.

‘We’re in meetings and they give addresses and tell locations of items, I’ll just say,’ he added.
Burchett claimed that information ‘keeps getting covered up,’ implying that something sinister could be happening.
‘The people that know are dying or disappearing, as the case may be,’ he said.
The conservative congressman then added: ‘And for the record, I’m not suicidal and I don’t take risks.’

He was addressing remarks made by former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, who claimed on The Benny Show earlier this week that someone ‘in a military uniform’ briefed him ‘on the locations of hybrid breeding programs.’
Gaetz alleged that the person told him in a ‘non-classified setting’ that ‘captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication.’
He admitted that he did not verify the person’s allegations, which claimed that there were up to 12 breeding facilities in the US.

‘I’m still a member of Congress, so I can’t really comment too much on what Matt said,’ Burchett told Newsmax.
When asked if he could have possibly been joking or making a tongue-in-cheek comment, Burchett insisted that he was not.
‘I’m being 100 percent serious,’ he said.
Burchett reiterated that the government needed to ‘disclose it all,’ as he voiced his discontent.
‘I’m sick of it,’ Burchett added.
He noted that he had told Trump to ‘release it all,’ but did not mention the president’s response.
In February, Trump said he had directed government agencies to begin releasing files ‘related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters.’

Trump also said at the time that he did not ‘have an opinion’ on alien life.
‘I never talk about it,’ he said. ‘A lot of people do. A lot of people believe it.’
Nearly 4,500 UFO sightings were reported last year, according to the National UFO Reporting Center.
The president’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump previously said that Trump ‘played a little coy’ when asked about aliens.
‘I’ve heard kind of around, I think my father-in-law has actually said it, that there is some speech that he has, that I guess at the right time, I don’t know when the right time is, he’s going to break out and talk about and it has to do with maybe some sort of extraterrestrial life,’ she said.
However, that suggestion was promptly shut down by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
‘A speech on aliens would be news to me,’ she said.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Burchett’s office for further comment.
