Megyn Kelly didn’t flinch when a sitting congressman described jaw-dropping reports from our own military about gargantuan, high-speed objects operating beneath the waves. Conservative viewers watching the clip recognized immediately what establishment media would later mock: this isn’t a late-night conspiracy — it’s a national security problem being treated like a punchline.
Rep. Tim Burchett told an interviewer he has been briefed — informally or otherwise — that naval personnel have reported objects moving at “hundreds of miles an hour” underwater and, in at least one documented case, an object described as “as large as a football field.” Those are not the rambles of a gadfly; these are the kinds of eyewitness accounts and off-the-record admissions that demand an investigation, not ridicule.
This statement didn’t come out of nowhere. Congress has been hearing from whistleblowers and former intelligence and military officers for years about UAPs and suspected retrieval programs, and those hearings raised real questions about what our own government knows and why Americans are being kept in the dark. If people like David Grusch and naval pilots have credible evidence, the American people shouldn’t be left to sift through leaks and rumor.
What makes Burchett’s comments even more alarming is the hint that critical systems and technology may be compromised or misunderstood, with references to foreign components in U.S. sonar and massive capability gaps between what our sailors can build and what they’re seeing. This is exactly why secrecy without accountability is dangerous: our military can’t defend what it won’t disclose and Congress won’t fix.
Patriots should be blunt about priorities: this is not theater, it is a failure of oversight. If unknown objects are operating at tremendous speeds under the ocean, the question isn’t whether people like Burchett are eccentric — it’s why the Pentagon and intelligence community haven’t exercised full transparency with the people who pay for and rely on those defenses. Congress must use real oversight tools, including subpoenas and closed-door briefings with cleared members, to get to the bottom of what naval personnel are repeatedly reporting.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media’s reflexive mockery has predictable political consequences: it coddles the swamp and chills brave witnesses who might step forward. Conservative platforms and honest journalists are the ones pushing back, demanding whistleblower protections and proof rather than smears, and that’s a fight the country needs.
Here’s the simple, fair-minded conservative stance: treat these reports seriously, protect servicemen and women who come forward, and require the Pentagon to declassify the relevant logs and sensor data to Congress and independent scientists. We owe our sailors and citizens the truth, not another layer of bureaucracy and spin.
If the American people love anything, it’s the truth and the safety of our families and armed forces. Stand with lawmakers who press for answers and with journalists who refuse to let paranoia or partisan reflexes silence real national-security questions. Demand clarity, fund real investigations, and stop letting the permanent bureaucracy decide what the public can or cannot know.
