Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said the president should release the government\u2019s files on extraterrestrials and UFOs. Burchett led several UAP hearings since 2023, including the first where former intelligence official David Grusch testified to lawmakers that the U.S. operated a \u201cmulti-decade\u201d program collecting alien spacecraft to be reverse-engineered. The government has denied this claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The House Republican urged Trump to \u201cpeel back the layers of that onion, let America decide if we can handle it. I think we can handle it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not about little green men, it\u2019s not about dadgum flying saucers,\u201d Burchett said on \u201cThe Big Weekend Show\u201d on Fox News on Sunday. \u201cIt\u2019s about what are we spending tens of millions of your dollars on when some alphabet agency tells me they don\u2019t exist and then again, another department within that department tells me they do exist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) told The Hill\u2019s sister network NewsNation that she used subpoena authority after the Pentagon failed to turn over dozens of classified UAP videos ahead of an April 14 deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Florida Republican, who is the chair of the House Oversight Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, told the outlet that she will work with Hegseth to obtain the footage. She added that she is confident that there will be cooperation to release the requested videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She asked in a March 31 letter to the Pentagon for 46 videos of UAP formations taken over Iran, the Persian Gulf, the East China Sea and near U.S. domestic airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe lack of disclosure regarding the very real threat posed by UAPs in and around U.S. restricted airspace is concerning,\u201d Luna wrote. \u201cThe presence of UAPs in and around the sensitive airspaces of U.S. military installations poses a threat to the security of the armed forces and their readiness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump on Friday teased at a Turning Point USA event in Phoenix that he will direct Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to release government files on UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs). \u201cI recently directed the Secretary of War \u2026 to begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena,\u201d Trump said. \u201cAnd [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":15753,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1906,1811,1724],"class_list":["post-15752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","tag-he","tag-release","tag-trump"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.0 -
