US Representative Tim Burchett has alleged that 'sinister' UFO files exist within government archives, while also revealing he has received death threats over his outspoken stance on disclosure.
Speaking in a wide-ranging interview, the Republican congressman insisted he has been briefed on unexplained sightings, including reports of underwater objects and advanced craft. His remarks have intensified debate over whether governments are withholding information about possible non-human technology, or whether the claims reflect misinterpretations of classified military activity.
Burchett has publiclycalled for full transparencyon government-held UFO, now officially referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, or UAP, files. He said he has 'seen too much' during classified briefings to dismiss the issue and urged authorities to release documentation without filtering public understanding.
He argued that disclosure should not be restricted by assumptions about public reaction, stating that citizens have a right to decide what they can handle. According to him, successive governments have maintained secrecy due to concerns about potential implications of advanced non-human intelligence.
The congressman also claimed thatPresident Donald Trump had initiated steps to release UFO-related files, with the process reportedly underway through the Pentagon.Burchett welcomed the move but expressed scepticism that full, unedited information would ever be released.
Burchett's comments involved allegations of underwater alien bases and unidentified objects tracked in deep ocean regions. He said he had been informed byhigh-ranking military sources, including a former naval admiral, about unusual sonar detections and high-speed underwater objects.
Burchett described reports of large, fast-moving craft allegedly observed in deep-water zones near US coastlines. He suggested that multiple categories of unexplained objects exist, including disc-shaped craft, plasma-like phenomena, and unidentified wedge-shaped structures.
While he admitted he has not personally witnessed such craft underwater, he said repeated accounts from trained military personnel and pilots made the claims difficult to dismiss. He argued that the ocean remains far less explored than space, raising the possibility that unknown technologies could exist in deep waters.
The congressman also revealed that he has received ongoing death threats linked to his public comments on UFOs and government secrecy. He said he has been warned to avoid certain public appearances and events due to security risks.
Burchett suggested that the threats may be connected either to his UFO remarks or his outspoken political style, adding that he refuses to be intimidated into silence. He claimed thatseveral individuals who previously worked on sensitive scientific or defence-related matters have died or disappeared under unclear circumstances, which he implied could be linked to efforts to suppress information.
