This is Ross Coulthard and you are listening to that UFO Podcast.

Hi everyone and welcome back to that U podcast and joining me for this special

update representing the seventh district of Missouri I have Congressman Eric Burleson

Eric welcome to the podcast it's great to be on.

Very good to speak to you.

I don't think you've done too many of these podcasts yet,

so I'm glad to have you.

It's been really good getting this set up.

And thank you to Ben for helping me get that done.

Now you have given me permission to call you Burley, but I did say that with the accent that is going

to be absolutely brutal for anyone listening to it but I do appreciate that Eric listen

We've got a limited time and I've got a lot to ask you and I want to try and do this justice for the the listeners and viewers who appreciate you being involved in the

UFO, UAP topic as you have been. And I just want to know, you've been involved in the topic now from a public point of view for people like

myself from the hearings in July 2023 what was your kind of first incline from a

political point of view there was something worth dedicating your time to in Congress on the subject.

Yeah, I would say that I've always been fascinated by the topic and I've always had a mistrust of government.

So when you combine the two of those, that's kind of my where my position is rooted from.

I always had a fascination with science and with aerospace and space in general.

As a kid I studied you studied what I could.

In fact, I've attempted to read books on quantum mechanics

and as best as I can without being going to college in that subject.

It's something that fascinates me.
