More UFO hearings coming, Rep. Tim Burchett says
- A previous hearing featured testimony from former military members
- Whistleblower David Grusch claims there is a secret UFO-retrieval program
- The Pentagon denied such reports and says there is no evidence of aliens

(NewsNation) — After a Pentagon report denying any evidence of alien technology or extraterrestrial life, Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., said there need to be more hearings on the subject.
The Pentagon report was issued in the wake of a whistleblower complaint from former intelligence officer David Grusch, who claimed the Pentagon was operating a secret UFO-retrieval program and even suggested the government had alien remains.
A hearing with Grusch and other former military personnel who had experiences encountering UAPs garnered bipartisan support from lawmakers but didn’t lead to any admission from the Department of Defense about alleged programs.
Burchett hopes to change that with future hearings.
“We’re going to hopefully have some whistleblowers in there to blow the lid off some more stuff so get ready,” he told NewsNation correspondent Ross Coulthart.
Although the Pentagon report denies any evidence of extraterrestrial activity, some have suggested it is just an attempt to cover up the truth and that information was selectively given to those writing it to keep UFO programs hidden.
The head of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office at the Pentagon, the department charged with investigating reports of unexplained objects, resigned but not before saying the office was continuing to try to pursue the truth. Still, Kirkpatrick said AARO had no evidence of a UFO retrieval program.
Burchett said his pick for a replacement would be someone familiar with the UAP issue.
“I recently had the pleasure of meeting Col. Carl Nell, who’s a former chief of the UAP task force, a magnific warrior intellect. I’ve never before met somebody inside the military who’s so bright and sharp and well-attuned to the UAP issue,” he said. “If there was one person I’d put and say he should be there, it would be Col. Carl Nell. For that reason, I don’t think it’s going to happen.”
