Rep. Tim Burchett: "This country would have come unglued, I think, if they would have heard all that I heard."
In a groundbreaking interview, Representative Tim Burchett offered a sombre assessment of his investigation into state secrets and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
Tim Burchett, who is well known for his inquiries into the allocation and misuse of funds, was interviewed on Newsmax on 2 April 2026. During the interview, he provided an overview of the investigation into UAP:
I’ve been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is. And I’ll just tell you this, if they would release the things that I’ve seen, you would stay up, you’d be up at night worrying about or thinking about this stuff. We just need to disclose and all. I’m sick of it. Well, I was briefed. I’ll just tell you this. I was briefed last week on an issue, excuse me, two weeks ago. And it would have set the earth off. This country would have come unglued, I think, if they would have heard all that I heard.
Representative Burchett’s statement raises questions. It followed a question about an alleged programme involving the interbreeding of human and non-human populations, which an individual dressed in military attire had revealed to Matt Gaetz in an unsecured and informal setting. According to Matt Gaetz’s own admission, he had been unable to confirm this information.
Regarding the potential disclosure of PAN information by Donald Trump, he outlined the various barriers that would prevent the US president from accessing declassified information :
When I’m in a meeting, in a closed-door meeting, and I asked about the president’s points on these, and then I’m told by some arrogant, unelected bureaucrat that the president is on a need-to-know basis.
When I sit in a meeting and some little punk with a man bun is sort of running the show, and you have decorated military officers in the meeting there that are basically unallowed to say anything, and you can read their faces what’s going on.
I talked to the president about this. I said, “ *it’s just layers of the onion, Mr. President”. You peel one off, and there’s another one underneath. You put your top people in, and it’s just too much to clear out in four years.
unfortunately, it just keeps getting covered up and covered up.
And I told the president, release it all. And the problem is, the people that are around the president don’t know the, and the president doesn’t know the questions to ask. A few of us are going to have to get with the president and tell him what he needs to ask and where he needs to look.
I know Donald Trump wants to disclose something. He hasn’t done it yet, but I think he wants to be the president to do that.
One can’t help but wonder what kind of information could trigger such a collapse of American democracy. If the Department of Energy is hiding a means of transportation capable of reaching space safely without using conventional fuel, the launch of Artemis would go from being a celebration of a new space age to a grim farce. Whistleblowers have also reported threats to their safety and that of their loved ones, with the government going so far as to threaten to remove their children from the families supporting them, according to their accounts.
Regarding his own access to information, he stated
We’re in meetings and they have addresses and tell locations of items
This observation, which might go unnoticed amid all the other news, is nonetheless significant: the U.S. lawmakers leading the investigation into the possible recovery, concealment, and reverse-engineering of UAP now know where the physical evidence, kept under wraps for over 70 years, has been stored.
This news comes amid renewed speculation that Donald Trump may disclose UAP information in 2026, with suggestions that a commemorative coin bearing his likeness could be minted to mark the occasion.
In an interview on 77 wabc, Tim Burchett also stated regarding missing General McCasland that he was pointed as one of the gatekeepers regarding UFO information.
“He is the guy that had a lot of nuclear secrets and that was allegedly the gatekeeper, and I’ve been told by several sources that he was the gatekeeper for the UFO stuff.”
He also confirmed that his meetings were under surveillance:
I had a meeting with somebody and they, they brought a person in to talk to me about the UFO issue. And then there was a guy sitting in the back and I said, well, well, “who’s that?” And he said, “he’s not here”.
Regarding the group of scientists who allegedly worked on UAP materials, some of whom disappeared last year, he explained:
it’s a very small fraternity. And when anytime one of them, something happens to one, the others are take note of it, and I was, I was briefed this week, I guess past week. And I’ll just say that that, that group is, is very nervous. They are very nervous about what’s going on.
One of the most well known member of this group is Gen. McCasland, who has been missing for weeks. According to a recording of Gen. McCasland’s wife 911 call, the missing General might well planned his disappearance :
I have some indication that he must have planned not to be found.
He’s left his phone, he changed his clothes
He turned it off and left it behind, which seems kind of deliberate, because he’s always got his phone.
he’s also facing some medical issues
we’ve been seeing a doc for both physical and mental in terms of anxieties, short-term memory loss, lack of sleep
I went to look in the gun safe to see if anything was missing, but I couldn’t tell if anything was, because he has quite a number of pistols and rifles, other than saying if his brain and body keep deteriorating, he didn’t want to live like that.
Representative Burlison also stated that General McCasland, who appeared to be a source of UAP information on Wikileaks, was one of the former officials he wanted to question. Facing mounting pressure from the investigation and deteriorating health, McCasland may have decided to take his own life.
