UFO fever appears to be gripping Washington after a series of extraordinary claims and revelations from lawmakers this week.
Claims of an illegal, hidden UFO crash retrieval program operating within the shadows were made public this month by Air Force and intelligence agency veteran David Grusch.
Congressman and Marine veteran Mike Gallagher let loose his theories on the mystery this Tuesday, suggesting that UFOs might be time-traveling craft piloted by humans from the future, as in the 1984 film ‘The Terminator.’
Florida Senator Marco Rubio also revealed he had been approached by several high ranking Government officials with top-level security clearances who said they had ‘first-hand’ knowledge of UFO programs.
Appearing on ESPN analyst Pat McAfee’s sports talk show, Rep Gallagher, a Wisconsin Republican, floated his hypothesis that the unexplained phenomena ‘could actually be an ancient civilization that’s just been hiding here and is suddenly showing itself.’
But Rep. Gallagher also brought the conversation back down to Earth, airing his concerns that the airborne mysteries might prove to be breakthrough aerospace technology mastered by a US foreign adversary.
‘I’m probably the most interested in is whether it’s adversary technology, particularly from China,’ said Gallagher, who is also the chair of the House Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.
Whether or not we are alone in the universe, the congressman is not alone among his fellow lawmakers in openly airing his UFO concerns.
Senator Rubio — in the unaired portions of his interview with NewsNation on Monday — voiced concern over the apparent and ‘very problematic’ lawlessness of the alleged UFO crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program.
Behind closed doors, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, where Senator Rubio is vice chairman, has heard even more ‘firsthand’ testimony on these covert UFO programs from senior military and intelligence whistleblowers beyond Grusch.
In a complete and uncut transcript of his recent interview, supplied to the DailyMail.com by a member of Senator Rubio’s office, Rubio described the alleged UFO program as ‘in essence, some sort of an internal military complex that’s their own government and is accountable to no one.’
‘It would be a huge problem,’ the Florida Republican said, ‘if it’s even partially true.’
