US Congressman Tim Burchett has claimed that government officials confirmed to him that extraterrestrial life exists and has made contact with humans, with the revelation coming just hours before the death of Nick Pope, Britain's most prominent UFO disclosure advocate.
In an interview with TMZ, the Tennessee Republican, who sits on the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, said he had received briefings confirming both alien life forms and non-earthly machinery.
