US Congressman Says Humans Are Already in Contact with Extraterrestrial Beings

The Tennessee Republican Representative claims that the extraterrestrial beings do not pose a threat to humanity.

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.
Congressman Tim Burchett says he believes aliens are real and claims that government and military officials have told him aliens have visited Earth and had contact with humans.
