| Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn. warned lawmakers to take UFOs more seriously and said aliens have technology that could "turn us into charcoal briquette." |
"They [extraterrestrial craft] can travel light years or at the speeds that we've seen defy physics as we know it," Burchett, who sits on the House Oversight Committee, told the "Event Horizon" podcast earlier this week.
"They can fly underwater and don't show a heat trail. We are out of our league. We couldn't fight them off what we wanted to."
The Congressman said Americans have dealt with D.C. disinformation "since 1947, probably since about 1897 in what was the Aurora, Texas, 'UFO crash,'" and explained that if aliens have this technology, then "they could turn us into a charcoal briquette."
Burchett told the Washington Examiner on Wednesday that the committee plans to hold a hearing on UFOs but would not divulge any information on dates and witnesses, adding that when the witness list is published, "you'll see the naysayers try to discredit them as they've done with me."
