Roswell UFO crash is 'the perfect example of a US government cover-up,' claims congressman after 'alien corpses found'

THE infamous Roswell UFO crash is “the perfect example of a US government cover-up," a congressman has claimed after alien corpses were allegedly found at the site.

Over 75 years later, officials like Rep. Tim Burchett are questioning what really happened after debris was recovered from the New Mexico desert in July 1947 in a case that remains shrouded in mystery.

Republican Burchett, of Tennessee’s second congressional district, exclusively spoke to The U.S. Sun about the military's conflicting statements after the eerie events.

The Roswell Army Field had sensationally claimed that a “flying disk” had been recovered before quickly retracting it as they said the object was a “weather balloon”.

Sure enough, it produced a wave of skepticism, leading to accusations that details were being deliberately withheld.

“They then said it wasn’t a disk. To me, it’s just ridiculous," Burchett said. “Then, the US Air Force brought out a report and said 'case closed' on Roswell.

“They claimed the objects were dummies dropped years later. It defies what the witnesses on the ground said they saw.”

Likewise, Nick Pope, who investigated unidentified aerial phenomena for the British Government, described the events that unfolded as the “ground zero” of the UFO mystery.

Officials revealed in the 1990s that the supposed spacecraft that crashed was an Air Force balloon used in a top-secret program.

It was apparently designed to monitor the atmosphere for evidence of nuclear tests conducted by the Soviet Union.

Retired Air Force pilot Richard Weaver told Today at the time: “I don’t think the government is capable of putting together a decent conspiracy.

“We have a hard time keeping a secret, let alone putting together a decent conspiracy.″

Dummies were dropped in the desert between 1954-59 as part of Air Force projects titled High Dive and Excelsior.

The mannequins were made of steel and aluminum and dropped from as high as 98,000 feet.

Dr. Shirley Wright, who died in 2015, visited the infamous site alongside Albert Einstein on a top-secret trip and claimed an alien craft appeared to be damaged on one side.

She said: "It was disk-shaped, sort of concave. Its size stood up to one-fourth of the hangar floor.

'ALIEN' SIGHTING

"The body of the ship was what I would call today a rather reflective material but when you got up close to it, it was rather dull. They were very curious about what the materials were."

She claimed the pair were shown the corpses of five aliens.

Wright added: "To me, they all looked alike all five of them."

She claimed their skin was grey with a tint of green and said their bodies weren’t exposed in their tight outfits.

Major Jesse Marcel, who died in 1986, apparently hid debris from the crash amid reports of an alleged cover-up.

A witness told UFO investigator Philip Mantle that the officer kept three pieces of the alien craft in a hot water heater in his Louisiana home.

And, the press officer for Roswell Army Air Field 1^st Lt. Walter Haut said an alien body had been found dead at the site.

They don't think they have to tell all.

GOP congressman Tim Burchett

Burchett blasted Washington and claimed that the US Government is in “denial."

He thinks the arrogance of officials stems from a “control issue”.

He said: “They don’t think they have to tell all. I believe the American public can handle it.”

A landmark UFO congressional hearing took place in May - an event that Burchett branded a "total joke", WATE reported.

He told The U.S. Sun: "We got hosed, we really did - the cover-up continues."

He added: "It’s a joke. I wished they had brought the redacted files from the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s and all the footage. I just think they’re hiding it all."

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2023 is set to contain provisions about unidentified aerial phenomena, but Pope fears some of the detail could be watered down.

'DODGING' THE MYSTERY

He said: “There will be a bit of horsetrading, but I think Pentagon officials will try to strike down parts of it.”

Pope suspects that defense officials will not like the so-called whistleblowers charter.

It would give government employees immunity if they shared details of supposed UFO encounters.

Pope said: “Officials are terrified by the prospect that there might be a spook who knows about all sorts of legacy programs.”

He fears if the whistleblowers charter is struck down that witnesses may not come forward.

Officials are terrified by the prospect that there might be a spook who knows about all sorts of legacy programs.

Nick Pope

Pope warned the second concern is linked to the Roswell GAO (Government Accountability Office) inquiry of 1947.

He claimed: “If you listen to the narrative of the US Government in recent years, it slightly pretends that this all started in 2004.

“They’ve forgotten that this is a mystery with a near 80-year backstory.

“And the date of 1947 is clearly pegged on Roswell. Why else would they pick that out of the hat?”

Pope fears that officials in Washington are trying to “dodge” the mystery of Roswell.

He said: “It is disingenuous to pretend this all started in 2004.

“If Roswell is ruled out, that’s going to be a great pity because there’s no getting away from the fact that some believe it is the ground zero for the whole modern UFO mystery.”
