▲ U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee

A shocking statement from a U.S. lawmaker:

“Tell you what I’ve seen—then you won’t be able to sleep.”

Tim Burchett, a congressman from Tennessee, is a member of the “Make America Great Again” movement in the United States. Recently, while appearing on a TV program, he was asked by the host about “aliens.” Burchett replied: “Virtually every intelligence agency official has briefed me. All I can tell you is that if I were to tell you what I’ve seen, you’d definitely lose sleep and you’d be so preoccupied with these things.”

Burchett also said that two weeks ago he received another briefing, and that if the public were to hear everything he had heard, “I think this country would fall into chaos.” Afterwards, he called for the government to fully disclose archives related to extraterrestrial life and said he was “fed up.” He claimed he had pressured Trump to require the government to improve transparency regarding the relevant information, and he expressed dissatisfaction with layers of bureaucracy hindering public disclosure of information.

In February of this year, Trump ordered the Pentagon and federal agencies to release records related to UFOs (unidentified flying objects) and unidentified aerial phenomena. So far, nothing has been released, but earlier this month, the U.S. government registered the domain “Aliens.gov” (Aliens means aliens).

Burchett also mentioned, over the past two years, the disappearances or deaths of several U.S. scientists and military officials. He said he did not know exactly what happened. “There are no coincidences in this business.” He said, “These people either go missing or die mysteriously, and the only thing linking them is that they all work on things related to outer space… Overall, I think there is a connection between all of this, but I don’t think we’ll know the truth.”

A retired Air Force major general mysteriously disappears

He took only a gun when he left home

On February 27 of this year, after U.S. Air Force retired Major General William McCasland left his home in the morning, no one has been seen him since. He left his phone, glasses, and wearable devices at home, but he took a gun with him.

After his disappearance, police sent a helicopter equipped with infrared cameras at night to fly over the cliffs and canyons near his home, hoping to find him through thermal imaging, but so far they have found nothing. In the emergency call, his wife said she believed he had intentionally disappeared and didn’t want anyone to find him because the phones left at home were all turned off.

McCasland is an aerospace engineer. He holds degrees from the U.S. Air Force Academy, MIT, and Harvard Kennedy School. He has served in a series of senior and highly sensitive military roles, but he has been retired for nearly 13 years.

McCasland previously led the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio for the U.S. military. There have been rumors that, back then, the wreckage of an unidentified flying object and “alien remains” that crashed in New Mexico were secretly transported to that base and stored in the so-called “Hangar 18” for research. A source previously said McCasland was the “gatekeeper” and an “participant” in the UFO enthusiast community.

However, the U.S. Air Force has consistently denied these claims, emphasizing that the base has never stored any extraterrestrial technology or biological materials, and noting that the stories are mostly misunderstandings or fabrications. Still, the base did manage the famous “Blue Book” project, which mainly investigated tens of thousands of UFO sightings. Official U.S. sources stress that there is no evidence linking these phenomena to extraterrestrial spacecraft.

Analysts say that the “alien rumors” surrounding the base largely stem from its central position in aviation technology intelligence and classified projects, combined with a highly secretive environment that has made it a concentrated focal point for all kinds of UFO conspiracy theories.

Susan, McCasland’s wife, said her husband had indeed had brief contact with communities related to UFO research, but that is not a reason for his disappearance. At the same time, McCasland had no knowledge of the UFO wreckage supposedly kept at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

5 top researchers in the U.S.

Strange disappearances or deaths in the last two years

Besides McCasland, in the past two years there have been four other disappearances or deaths involving people associated with U.S. nuclear energy and advanced aerospace research projects that have drawn attention. They include senior rocket engineers, retired Air Force generals, lab personnel, and top researchers. Either they suddenly vanished without a trace, or they died in various unexplained incidents.

▲ NASA scientist Frank Mewald

On July 4, 2024, NASA scientist Frank Mewald died in Los Angeles at the age of 61. His death initially did not attract much public attention, but later raised doubts because the cause of death was not disclosed and there were reports that no autopsy had been conducted. Before his death, he had been working on developing technology to detect extraterrestrial life.

On May 4, 2025, Anthony Chavez, a former employee of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, disappeared while walking in New Mexico. As one of the United States’ most sensitive research institutions, the Los Alamos National Laboratory’s work often involves nuclear science, national security, and classified technologies. Since there have been no verified eyewitness reports afterward, the case has not been solved to this day.

On June 22, 2025, Monica Jacinto Rez, a veteran engineer in the aerospace field, disappeared while hiking in California. She was a leading figure in the field of advanced rocket propulsion materials in the United States and had participated in inventing a nickel-based high-temperature alloy used for next-generation engines—engines designed to reduce reliance on existing propulsion systems. Search personnel deployed large-scale search and rescue resources such as helicopters, drones, and search-and-rescue dogs, but they still could not find any trace of her.

Just 4 days after Rez’s disappearance, Melissa Kasias of the Los Alamos National Laboratory also disappeared. Before she went missing, witnesses saw her walking alone on a highway several miles away from home. People found her phone where she disappeared, but the data had been wiped. It is understood that besides the phone, she did not take any essential items when she left home.

McCasland, who disappeared in February this year, is also associated with the Los Alamos Laboratory. McCasland used to be the research commander at the Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, a base that has had close cooperation with the Los Alamos National Laboratory on national security projects.

Among these cases, the most puzzling is the disappearance case of Monica Rez. As a veteran aerospace engineer, she was deeply involved in research on cutting-edge propulsion systems and materials science, placing her work at the intersection of innovation and national security. When she was last seen, she was behaving normally, yet within just a few minutes she vanished without a trace. The area where the incident occurred had been thoroughly searched, and investigators also found no physical evidence.
