Republican Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison joined witnesses and enthusiasts at a conference commemorating the 30th anniversary of a famous alleged extraterrestrial encounter, during which he spoke in favor of disclosure and whistleblower protection.
The UAP (UFO) Press Conference, hosted by investigative filmmaker James Fox, marked the 30th anniversary of an alleged 1996 encounter in Varginha, Brazil, during which some claim the Brazilian government captured two “non-human” entities. Burlison advocated during the conference for two pieces of legislation that he says will improve transparency on the issue and encourage further witnesses to come forward.
“This is once in more compelling first person narratives,” Burlison told the Daily Caller News Foundation during the conference. “I’m looking forward to actually getting my hands on any kind of real physical evidence — whether that’s material evidence or biological samples, maybe from the corpse … at the end of the day, I remain skeptical until I get my hands on physical evidence. But until then, I’m going to take it seriously investigating myself.”
