Tim Burchett: 'underwater UFO moved at hundreds of miles per hour'
Something anomalous is thought to be frequenting our oceans and we still have no idea exactly what it could be.
While unidentified aerial vehicles have been getting a lot of press in recent years, US Navy witnesses have also reported another, adjacent phenomenon - underwater aerial vehicles that seem capable of traveling at immense speeds and that can sometimes even transition into the air and vice-versa.
Speaking in an interview recently with former Republican congressman Matt Gaetz, Republican Tim Burchett - who has long maintained that the US government is withholding information on UFOs and alien visitors - described something that a US Navy admiral had allegedly told him.
"They tell me something's moving at hundreds of miles an hour underwater... as large as a football field, underwater," he said.
"This was a documented case and I have an admiral telling me this stuff."
Despite the implications of such a sighting, however, Burchett isn't too worried. "I'm not worried about [alien visitors] harming me," he said.
"I mean, with that capabilities, they would have barbecued us a long time ago."
Officially, the Pentagon - which has been investigating UFOs for years - does not acknowledge the existence of alien visitors. Last year, a formal report into the phenomenon concluded that there was no concrete evidence and that most UFOs sightings have conventional explanations.
Nonetheless, there are many - including some inside the US government - who remain adament that there is a lot more to the subject than officials are letting on.
