Congressman Accuses Government of Hiding UAP Information to Conceal Military Weakness

What was said

"The more that I've looked into this, the more I think that this government does not want to reveal the fact that they have a weakness. They don't want to demonstrate that they don't know what's going on. You don't want to telegraph to its own citizens that we're incapable of defending our airspace above our own military bases, that we're incapable, we do not have the scientific knowledge or understanding of what it is that we're experiencing."

Burleson offered a controversial assessment that UAP secrecy across multiple administrations stems from unwillingness to admit the government cannot defend its airspace or understand the phenomenon. He argued this represents a greater motivation for secrecy than concern over public reaction or religious implications.
