MAGA congressman Tim Burchett says if Americans were privy to the data on aliens he's seen, they're be 'up all night worrying.'

A MAGA congressman has warned Americans would be "up all night worrying" if they were given the same briefing on aliens as he has.
RadarOnline.com can reveal Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett, a Republican, said the country deserved "full disclosure" following a recent classified briefing about extraterrestrial life two weeks ago.
America Deserves 'Full Disclosure'
Burchett says the public has a right to know what's been discussed about aliens.
He told Newsmax: "The public has a right to know, dadgummit. It's your tax dollars. Let's get it out there.
"I think if (the public) would've heard all that I heard, they would demand answers."
Burchett has long been one of the most vocal lawmakers pushing for answers on alien-related topics, though he did not elaborate on his recent claim.
"I've been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is, and, I'll just say this, if they were to release the things that I've seen, you'd be up at night, worrying about, thinking about this stuff," he said.
Information 'Keeps Getting Covered Up'
The Tennessee lawmaker claims updates on alien sightings are being covered up.
The Tennessee lawmaker added that President Donald Trump did not "know the questions to ask."
"A few of us are going to have to get with the president and tell him what he needs to ask and where he needs to look," Burchett said.
"We're in meetings and they give addresses and tell locations of items, I'll just say," he added.
Burchett claimed that information "keeps getting covered up," implying that something sinister could be happening.
"The people that know are dying or disappearing, as the case may be," he said.
The conservative congressman then added: "And for the record, I'm not suicidal and I don't take risks."
'Captured Aliens Are Breeding With Humans'
Ex-Florida congressman Matt Gaetz says he was briefed about 'locations of hybrid breeding programs.'
Burchett is on the House's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, which has been investigating UFOs.
Nearly 4,500 UFO sightings were reported last year, according to the National UFO Reporting Center.
Burchett was addressing remarks made by former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, who claimed on The Benny Show earlier this week that someone "in a military uniform" briefed him "on the locations of hybrid breeding programs."
Gaetz alleged that the person told him in a "non-classified setting" that "captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication."
He admitted that he did not verify the person's allegations, which claimed that there were up to 12 breeding facilities in the US.
"I'm still a member of Congress, so I can't really comment too much on what Matt said," Burchett told Newsmax.

The president recently ordered the release of UFO files.
When asked if he could have possibly been joking or making a tongue-in-cheek comment, Burchett insisted that he was not.
"I'm being 100 percent serious," he said.
Burchett reiterated that the government needed to "disclose it all," as he voiced his discontent.
"I'm sick of it," Burchett added.
He noted that he had told Trump to "release it all," but did not mention the president's response
In February, Trump said he had directed government agencies to begin releasing files "related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters."
Trump also said at the time that he did not "have an opinion" on alien life.
"I never talk about it," he said. "A lot of people do. A lot of people believe it."
