This legislation seeks to ensure that the public has access to information about UAPs, promoting greater transparency and accountability. Rep. Burchett has played a significant role in congressional hearings related to UAPs. He was instrumental in organizing a hearing on July 26, 2023, where former intelligence officer David Grusch testified about alleged secret UAP retrieval programs. Burchett has expressed frustration with the lack of transparency and has called for more open discussions on the subject. Through these actions and statements, Rep. Tim Burchett has positioned himself as a leading figure in the UAP community, advocating for greater transparency and public access to information regarding unidentified aerial phenomena.
