In an exclusive interview with the , Representative Tim Burchett says that more Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) videos will be released.Â
“There are 30 or 40 videos that we need to see that we know that they have that we have not seen that are much clearer,” Burchett said in the interview released Thursday morning. “And we dont know what we dont know. I’ve been told by some pretty high-ranking people that there are some.”

Burchett noted that many of his colleagues in Congress and across the government are scared to discuss the matter publicly.
“Ive talked to Members of Congress [who said], hey, man, I dont want to come forward and talk about this,” Burchett said. “I was in this branch of the service or whatever, I was on night watch and this thing, and he said it was just unbelievable, and I hear that over and over and again,” he continued.
Podcast co-host Josh Holmes appreciated Burchetts honesty and approach to , even if he was skeptical.
“We enjoy your sense of humor and your interest in just the idea of exploring things, regardless of where the politics lead,” Holmes told Burchett.
