UFOs can be 'angels' sent by God from another dimension, says US Congressman Eric Burlison

Congressman Eric Burlison has entered the debate over UFOs and, in a statement that likely speaks more about US politics than anything else, said that the unidentified objects in the sky could be "angels" sent by God.

Burlison took the UFO discussion to a whole new level this week during an episode of "That UFO Podcast", according to Futurism.

"They may not fit exactly the Biblical narrative, but whenever I use the term 'angels,'" he said, "to me, it's synonymous with an extradimensional being."

"I think it's more likely that it would be something extradimensional than it would be within this dimension," Burlison argued. "And then, so what I'll say is that when you start talking about things in that nature, that they're extradimensional, well, in a lot of different scriptures, including the Bible, and others, that's really the way that you describe messengers of God or, you know, angels."

Remarkably, Burlison's reflections follow his attendance at a classified briefing this month on UFOs, even though he claimed afterward that nothing he learned there had significantly changed his perspective.

"There’s nothing that’s been said that’s changed my worldview," he told the Kansas City Star. "I believe the veracity of the claims of the people who testified in the public hearing. Now, that being said, I believe that what they believe they said is true."

Burlison is not the only one who has wondered if there is a link between religious writings and UFOs.

"UFOs were in the Bible," representative Tim Burchett (R-TN) claimed in 2021. "Read Ezekiel, it talks about the wheel flying around. So I mean, they’ve been around since we’ve been around and somebody needs to come up with some answers."
