WASHINGTON DC – Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., who has been a leading voice for UFO transparency, will introduce a new bill Thursday that would require President Biden to direct the heads of each federal department or agency to declassify all documents related to UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena), also known as UFOs.

“It’s simple. They spend all this time telling us they don’t exist, then release the files, dagnabbit,” Burchet told Fox News Digital in an interview, before introducing the “The UAP Transparency Act” on Thursday.

“I don’t want some crazy, fancy name for it,” he said. “I just want them to do exactly what the bill is about.”

Rep. Burchett has been at the forefront of the fight for UFO transparency, along with several other Republicans in the House and Senate, but there has been a bipartisan effort.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., and Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., are co-sponsors of the bill.

In a previous interview, Burchett said he believes there has been a cover-up, and that tens of millions of dollars are being spent “on something that you say doesn’t exist, (and) yet you continue spending the money on it. It makes you wonder.”

The 1.5-page bill would not only force the president to direct federal agencies to declassify UFO-related files, but it would require the president to file quarterly reports that would update the House and Senate subcommittees on the progress toward releasing the information.

“That’s all it is,” Burchett said. “It’s about transparency.”
