In a recent episode of the UFO podcast, Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri’s Seventh District provided a special update on his involvement in exploring UFO and UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) phenomena. Here’s the full story.
Part of the UFO Hearings
Burlison, who has been part of the public discourse on UFOs since the hearings in July 2023, shared his journey into the subject, rooted in a longstanding fascination with science, aerospace, and a general mistrust of government.
As a former software engineer, project manager, and investment advisor, Burlison brought an analytical perspective to the UFO and UAP caucus, positioning himself as one of the more skeptical voices within the group.
The Unexpected Turn In Political Career
The Congressman accepted his political career’s unexpected turn when it intersected with the UFO and UAP phenomena. Despite the skepticism prevalent in political circles, Burlison shared the importance of transparency, especially when it comes to using taxpayer dollars.
He likened the responsibility of an elected official to that of a steward, ensuring that the government is accountable for its actions and the allocation of resources.
Addressing the potential impact of his involvement in the UFO and UAP discussions on his political career, Burlison shared that he has not faced significant backlash from voters. He noted that constituents often bring up other issues with a smile before broaching the UFO topic, indicating a level of interest and acceptance among the public.
The Congressman shared his commitment to representing the interests of the people and being transparent about government activities, aligning with the principles of an open democracy.
“Show Me Before I Believe”
As the conversation progressed, Burlison provided insights into his evolving perspective on the UFO and UAP phenomena. He reaffirmed his analytical approach, stating that he leans towards explanations rooted in terrestrial origins rather than extraterrestrial visitations.
He said, “I’m from Missouri. That’s our slogan. Show me before I believe that or give me some level of evidence, facts, or data that I can see and touch before I buy into what the government is saying.”
Extradimensional Angels
Burlison clarified that he finds the idea of beings from other planets traveling vast distances to reach Earth and then crashing inexplicably.
One key theme that emerged from Burlison’s statements was his openness to considering extradimensional explanations. Drawing on theories of higher dimensions and interdimensional beings, he suggested that such entities might be described as “extradimensional” or “angels” in various scriptures, offering a perspective that blends science with elements of spiritual narratives.
The Progress
When questioned about progress and revelations from recent skiff (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) meetings, Burlison shared that while they may not have obtained visually compelling evidence, the process itself has shed light on the challenges of acquiring information. He cited the case of David Grush, whose security clearance was revoked, as evidence of a culture of hostility toward those who discuss UFO and UAP topics.
Further Leads
Discussing his efforts to secure a skiff meeting with David Grush, Burlison shared a commitment to providing a platform for Grush to speak freely. He stressed the importance of addressing the challenges faced by individuals attempting to share information while navigating issues of security clearances and governmental resistance.
As the interview concluded, the Congressman hinted at future steps and investigations, and said, “We’ve got some further leads that we’ve received from within the skiff and outside of the skiff that we’re going to be investigating.”
So what do you think? What are your thoughts on the intersection of politics and UFO exploration, and do you believe governments should be more transparent about their investigations?
