AN American congressman has claimed aliens could be hiding out in “five or six” underwater bases off the US coast.
Tennessee congressman Tim Burchett said alien “entities” were reportedly already living in deep-water areas on Earth.
UFO researcher Dr Michael Salla said the bases are believed to be in a region near the Bahamas

The claims from the member of the House Oversight Committee that oversees UFO reports caused a massive stir on social media.
In a now viral video posted to social media platform X on September 17, Burchett suggested that advanced alien beings or civilisations may have been hiding under the sea for “millennia”.
In a sidewalk interview with UFO researcher and documentary maker Red Panda Koala (a pseudonym), Burchett added that there had been frequent sightings of unidentified crafts in around five or six specific deep sea areas.
“We have naval personnel telling me that we have sightings … of these underwater crafts that they’re chasing,” he said.
“[The underwater crafts] they’re chasing are doing hundreds of miles an hour, and the best we’ve got is something that does maybe just a little bit under 40 miles an hour”.
“I’ve got a lot of questions about that stuff,” he added.
In the short clip, he also noted more is known about the moon’s surface than what is under the ocean.
Despite these claims, no verifiable evidence including artefacts or clear footage of these crafts, has been made available to the public.
Critics have argued that the reliance on anecdotal reports from naval personnel and the lack of peer-reviewed scientific data casts doubt on the claims.
Following Burchett’s revelations, Dr Michael Salla revealed that a region of the Atlantic Ocean near the Bahamas was one of the alleged UFO bases.
The researcher and author whose work focuses on extraterrestrial phenomena said he’d also spoken to credible whistleblowers, including senior military and executive branch officials who confirmed the existence of these underwater bases.
Dr Salla said the US Navy operated a top-secret underwater facility called AUTEC that he compared to Area 51.
AUTEC – an acronym for Atlantic Undersea Testing and Evaluation Centre – was in that specific region of the Atlantic Ocean.
“Just to the right of it is the Tongue of the Ocean, which is a very deep part of the ocean there in the Bahamas,” he said on the Redacted podcast on September 19.
“It drops off immediately around 3000 ft.
“So that’s ideal for a submarine, but it’s also a place where people have seen many UFOs, many underwater crafts coming into and leaving the water.”

Dr Salla said he had interviewed two eyewitnesses who said they’d visited these secret bases, including a US Army whistleblower using the pseudonym JP.
JP claimed he was on a mission where he was taken by a Black Hawk helicopter to an ocean platform, then boarded a high-tech submarine.
The submarine was reportedly crewed by tall, Nordic-looking extraterrestrials.
He claimed the submarine – which was also capable of space travel – took him to an underwater city under a dome, resembling Dubai, with a large white pyramid.
The mission involved retrieving an artefact, but no physical evidence of this mission has ever been produced.
Despite the lack of tangible evidence for any of these claims, there has been increasing interest and testimony from credible sources, including military personnel at these congressional hearings.
The statements suggest that UFOs and extraterrestrial entities have visited Earth.
On September 9, a congressional hearing featured a new round of whistleblowers.
The group shared their experiences with UFOs, including a video showing an orb-like object surviving a missile strike, before splitting into four parts with each continuing to fly.
