Overview
- Burchett told Stephen A. Smith in a SiriusXM interview that he has seen photos in classified briefings and said he has spoken with White House officials about making evidence public.
- He described the briefings as held in SCIFs, secure rooms where phones and wearables are barred, and said top military and intelligence officials conducted them.
- He said a recent session featured a colleague who named people, dates, and locations tied to items discussed, which he argued should be released.
- He said some federal agencies deny any phenomenon exists while military briefers told him that “something does exist,” and he again urged President Trump to approve disclosure.
- He questioned whether the issue is being used as a “psyop” to seek more funding and noted there has been no public release or verification, with the Pentagon’s anomaly office previously reporting no verifiable extraterrestrial evidence.
