Good rule of thumb: Don’t blindly trust the government — especially when that government is trying to convince you that a species of highly advanced aliens is secretly operating a series of underwater bases.

Last month, Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett, who sits on the House Oversight Committee, oversaw a hearing where video was shown of a UAP “deflecting” a Hellfire missile while flying low over the Atlantic.

UFO researcher Dr. Michael Salla was in attendance and later shared a story from an alleged whistleblower who described seeing an “underwater UFO base,” comparing it to an underwater Dubai. The anonymous whistleblower, whom Salla refers to as “JP,” claims he was taken to one of these bases where he entered a “high-tech submarine crewed by tall, Nordic-looking extraterrestrials.”

While Burchett or Salla don’t have any proof of these alleged underwater bases, I don’t have any proof to the contrary, so you’ll just have to take their or my word for it. Up to you!
