Rep. Burchett Claims Aliens Have Underwater Bases on Earth

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., said on Wednesday that he believed aliens had underwater bases on Earth.

“I just think travelin’ light years, I think it happens. I think it’s possible in the vastness of God’s great universe. I mean, light years, you know, the light from those stars that we see at night left there before the time of Christ,” Burchett said on former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) One America News show, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.

Burchett suggested in April that, following a classified briefing about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, also known as UFOs and UAPs, the US government deliberately hides information about them from the American public.

Burchett stated at the time, “I believe there is a cover-up.”

We’ve spent tens and tens of millions of dollars on these investigations. Departments have told us they had recovery units but refused to release the full report. Burchett said, “Everything is covered up.”

Burchett, in the summer of 2023, after a series of hearings, during which several whistleblowers claimed that the government had hidden information about ultra high-tech craft with alien or extraterrestrial ancestry, asked the inspector general of the intelligence community to investigate these claims.

“When they say something is moving at hundreds of miles per hour underwater, our capabilities… and these things – this was as large as a soccer field underwater. This was a documented incident, and… I had an admiral tell me all this,” Burchett told reporters on Wednesday.

Burchett led the effort in 2023 to create a UAP Caucus in Congress. He is also a member of a group that includes lawmakers from both political parties who have consistently called for more transparency by military officials regarding government knowledge about UAPs.
