Extraterrestrial beings do not pose a threat to humanity, Tennessee Republican Representative Tim Burchett has said
Aliens have visited our planet traveling in an otherworldly craft and have made contact with humans, US Congressman Tim Burchett has claimed, citing unnamed government officials.
In the US, interest in UFOs and related phenomena has grown in recent years, due to the federal government backing the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and established channels for pilots and the public to report sightings.
“And they gave specifics, they gave addresses, they gave times and dates and people that were in the meeting,” Burchett said during a Monday livestream interview with TMZ. “And this went all the way up to the executive branch of previous presidents, not this current president.”
Answering the hosts’ questions, the 61-year-old congressman stressed that the claims referred both to “life that is not earthly” and to “something mechanical that’s not earthly.”
Burchett also said that he does not believe extraterrestrial beings pose a threat to humanity. “I don’t think we’re at danger of this. I mean, these things exist as I think they do, and they could have destroyed us with the blink of an eye, I just don’t see that,” he stressed.
In an interview with Newsmax a week earlier, the lawmaker also warned that releasing classified information about alleged alien encounters could shake public confidence.
“I’ve been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is, and if they released what I’ve seen, you’d be up at night worrying about it,” he said.
Tim Burchett has emerged as a leading voice on disclosure of files regarding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), pushing for greater government transparency.

He has alleged that various agencies, including NASA, have been “lying” about what they know and claims that many files on the subject remain undisclosed.
In February, US President Donald Trump announced plans to order the Department of War and other agencies to release government files related to UAPs and UFOs due to “tremendous interest.”
Shortly after that, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed that the American public would learn whether his department holds records proving the existence of aliens, but cautioned against expecting a swift release.
In March 2024, the Pentagon said it had no proof that any unidentified aerial phenomena are in fact alien technology, adding that many cases involved weather balloons, spy planes, satellites, and other routine activity.
