Tim Burchett is a U.S. representative from Tennessee and one of Congress’s most outspoken advocates for UAP declassification, hearings, and whistleblower access.
Tim Burchett is an American Republican politician who served in the Tennessee legislature and as Knox County mayor before entering the U.S. House in 2019. His plainspoken style and willingness to challenge defense officials made him a highly visible member of the bipartisan House group pursuing UAP transparency.
Burchett’s political career began in the Tennessee legislature and continued through two terms as mayor of Knox County before his election to Congress. He cultivated an informal, plainspoken style and a reputation for criticizing spending, bureaucracy, and leadership in both parties. That persona translated naturally to UAP, where he portrays secrecy as another example of entrenched officials withholding information from taxpayers. His visibility comes less from technical expertise than from repeating direct questions until agencies are forced to respond publicly.
Burchett participated in military-site inquiries and the July 2023 hearing with David Grusch, David Fravor, and Ryan Graves. He has introduced or supported legislation calling for release of federal UAP records and has repeatedly argued that excessive classification hides both information and spending from Congress. He also makes blunt public statements suggesting that recovered material or advanced craft may exist; those views are not the same as a released congressional finding.
Burchett is central to congressional hearings and FOIA and transparency. His influence comes from keeping the issue visible, questioning agency credibility, and creating political pressure for witnesses to be heard. He is not a firsthand UAP observer, but he has helped make alleged secrecy a routine subject of legislative oversight. His blunt public style has also helped carry the issue beyond committee rooms to a national political audience.
🚨TRUMP SAYS HE HASN'T HEARD ABOUT THE SECRET UFO PROGRAM, BUT A DOCUMENT SUBMITTED TO CONGRESS CLAIMS HE WAS BRIEFED YEARS AGO A document submitted to Congress by Tim Burchett during the November 2024 UAP hearing, has an interesting claim concerning Donald Trump, the CIA and the alleged legacy crash retrieval program. The 21 page document contains historical Air Force, CIA and FBI records, but the first page is a statement that was cleared for public release by the DOD on September 6, 2023....
Jeremy Corbell says Congress was denied access to FOUR consecutive Intelligence Information Reports on UAP. IIRs have report numbers. Report numbers can be req [Quoted] Oh yeah... I almost forgot.

So... this is fact 🛸 Put that in your pipe and smoke it. @RepLuna + @EricBurlison + @TimBurchett would want to make this happen, I suspect. Planet Earth... the greatest show in the solar system. Full WEAPONIZED episode here : https://t.co/btaJq04lDl https://t.co/v5zxEpgAfa
[Retweeted] So, @timburchett / @EricBurlison What exactly is the deal here? Both of you have claimed to have spoken to @POTUS about the legacy program and UFO secrecy. @RepLuna you have personally claimed that PURSUE has a presidential mandate to declassify UFO evidence. @StephenM has been the senior Whitehouse contact for the UAP Governance Board and is now the WH Chief of Staff. @PeteHegseth has had private meetings about investment opportunities related to UAP reverse engineered technology...

Did Midterms Just Change UFO Disclosure?
[Retweeted] In 2022, @timburchett / @RepTimBurchett was the ONLY Republican Representative visible in the audience at the House UAPTF hearing held by @RepAndreCarson and now @SenAdamSchiff. UFO / NHI Disclosure is BIPARTISAN. I have no doubt Tim will be working across the aisle in a Democratic led effort to: • increase whistleblower protections • expose the Executive Branch coverup • Hold the DOW, ODNI, CIA, Air Force, NASIC, DOE accountable to existing laws.

Thanks for this, Greg. https://t.co/gsEOwkTfGz [Quoted] UAP disclosure’s main congressional sponsors will (mostly) return: Senate Mike Rounds (R-SD): reelected; co-authored the UAP Disclosure Act. Chuck Schumer (D-NY): not up in 2026; co-authored the UAP Disclosure Act. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY): not up in 2026; co-sponsored the UAPDA and led legislation establishing UAP reporting requirements. House Eric Burlison (R-MO): reelected; led the House UAP Disclosure Act amendment. Tim Burchett (R-...
[Retweeted] The Midterms have sent a seismic shockwave throughout the US 🇺🇸 Rep. Burlison warned this could halt the current UAP Task Force and NDAA disclosure language. What will this mean for the UFO Disclosure Process? @RepEricBurlison @RepLuna @timburchett https://t.co/WX4ak3GQHl
