About this episode
In this episode of Reality Check, Ross Coulthart sits down with Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., to discuss unidentified submerged objects (USOs). UAP reporting app Enigma labs says that since its launch in 2022, there have been 9,000 sightings within 10 miles of U.S. shorelines or major bodies of water. Burchett has been outspoken on the topic, citing conversations with former military officials about USOs moving at high speeds underwater, which current technology cannot match. “Over 55% of the population of the United States of America thinks that we're not alone, and I think it's about time we pull the covers off this thing,” he said.
