Half the UFO Secret Is Already Out There

Show Transcript

A former Air Force intelligence specialist was asked if the government has recovered Kraft. He said yes, and then said about half of what he knows is actually already public. At the same time, the government is trying to close David Grush's lawsuit, even after confirming it holds 40 pages of records tied to his case. And the Air Force has now admitted to weapons in orbit, that have not really been described.

Hey, ufologists, I'm Christina Gomez, and this is your UFM News Update. Dylan Borland appeared on the Hangout with Sean Hannity podcast alongside former FBI agent and TV host Ben Hanson. Borland testified before the House Oversight Task Force on declassification of federal secrets in September of 2025, and this is the first time stating that he knows the government holds craft. Hannity asked whether his security obligation even allowed him to answer.

Here is what was said. I asked you if you know for a fact that the government has craft itself. Yes. And would you be allowed to answer that?

I'll just answer no, yes. What's that? Yes, they do. You would answer no.

I'm answering right now. Does the government have craft that have been recovered? Yes, they do. Borland drew attention to which parts of Congress are speaking.

Most public pressure comes from the House Oversight Committee, and he said the intelligence and armed services committees in both the House and the Senate have been well-informed for years, which he believes explains why they stay so quiet. He also connected the issue to businesses and the economy. He argued that if defense contractors hold recovered technology, it raises questions for investors and for security regulators, since shareholders would have no knowledge of assets that could change energy and propulsion. He said this is the one reason full disclosure is so complicated.

Hannity also asked how much Borland knows that he just simply can't say. That I have seen with my own two eyes and have turned over, I probably... 60 or 70% of it is out there loosely, but not from me saying it. Again, I have to let journalists say things so I don't go to jail.

From what I have pieced together and gone in confirmation from other whistleblowers who have testified what I pieced together, probably 50% of what I know is out there. That's a lot. Borland says the documents in the presidential file releases are more valuable to him than the videos. He explained that researchers can use AI tools to match names, companies, and agencies in those files against public records and map how these programs are run and who runs them today.

For him, the videos are only a starting point. He said the government holds far better imagery from satellites and drones, which we have heard time and time again. And Hannity said he expects to meet the president within three weeks and will ask why everything is not released at once. Borland said his question would be whether anyone will be held accountable for keeping this from the public and when the president will speak openly about it.

And then Ben Hanson brought up a problem. In his Georgetown master's thesis in emergency and disaster management on a hypothetical contact event, he said he has been studying public reaction with researchers at the Chapman University. I am aware of at least two think tank groups supposedly in the Beltway, and they are studying this. But I know from my program and having talked to former FEMA admins and stuff, there is no official plan for this.

If they've got one, they've got to integrate it into the institutions like FEMA and those that are going to be running the show. And they're not. Hanson supports the releases for that reason, because he believes a slow pace gives the public time to adjust. and he says he has written a strategy document he wants to share with the new administration.

Ross Coulthard sees the releases very differently. On NewsNation's reality check, he first addresses the 1952 audio recording of Project Blue Book head Captain Edward Ruppelt, held by MIT and only released in the latest UFO file batch. He asked why it was withheld for so long, when it only confirms the Air Force had unexplained cases more than 70 years ago. Ross also said there is an active FBI investigation into possible violations of law that give Congress access to UAP information.

And he says he has spoken with the people involved. And sooner or later, somebody is going to walk out of the building with a hard disk in their briefcase and they are going to leak the secrets of UAP legacy retrieval and reverse engineering programs. I know because I talked to some of them and they're very, very frustrated with the degree of obfuscation, lying and deceit by the national security state. and the apparent unwillingness of the White House to confront this issue.

According to Ross, an Australian Army intelligence officer assigned to the American Tactical Operations Center in Afghanistan told him he watched infrared footage of orbs moving across the landscape at night. Ross says he knows the data, time and location, and the event doesn't appear in any of the presidential releases. And my Australian source, who was an officer in the Australian Army, in the intelligence core told me that they were quite clear that these were being treated as clear, unidentified anomalous phenomena. They were vectoring hypersonically, moving instantaneously, moving erratically, but clearly in a formation and clearly under intelligent control.

On September 21st, as reported by researcher Douglas Dean Johnson, the Justice Department filed a motion for summary judgment in David Grush's records lawsuit against the Defense Department. Grush filed the lawsuit in March to obtain records tied to an unauthorized disclosure complaint he says the Air Force made against him. Posts online describe this as a ruling against Grush, but it's not a ruling. The government is asking the judge to find that its search was adequate and its redactions were lawful, and then to just close the case.

Grush can oppose the motion and files on his own, and Ross pointed out that the filings say nothing about whether Grush disclosed classified information and nothing about whether his UAP claims are true or false. And what the filing does show, however, is that the records exist. What is significant is that there are 40 pages which are described as responsive to David Grush's complaint, and they have been released with some redactions. This means there were some records responsive to the matter that David Grush complained about, but it doesn't prove the underlying proposition.

that the Air Force accused David Grush of a breach of the Espionage Act or unauthorized disclosure laws. On September 14th, Air Force Secretary Troy Mink told the Air and Space Forces Association conference that the U.S. now has on-orbit space control weapons. It is the first time a Pentagon official has publicly confirmed deployed American weapons in space.

Troy gave no type, number or location. And he also said that the space-based interceptor program reached flight-ready hardware in under a year, with up to $ 3. 2 billion in agreements across about a dozen companies. Ross noted that two years ago, during a reality check segment, the Air Force formally denied having any weapons in space.

and now it has confirmed them. Ross suspects these are non-kinetic systems which jam signals or use lasers to blind a satellite's sensors without destroying it. A destroyed satellite leaves debris that puts every nation's satellites at risk, so he believes the announcement is a warning to other countries, but not a sign of any kind of planned attacks. To be really fair to Space Force and the US Department of Defense, Department of War, this is a very clear statement of deterrence.

It's not the US saying we're deploying really nasty kinetic weapons into space and we're going to start using them against the Ruskies and the Chinese. I think what it is, is a whiff of grape shot across the bows of both of those nations, letting them know that we, the United States, The Five Eyes allowance now have a capability to disable Russian or Chinese systems if they start causing mischief to ours. So two years ago, the official answer was no weapons in space. Then this month, the answer changed.

And the same could happen with the 40 pages in the David Grosh case, which the government has now confirmed exists. If these pages are released with very few redactions, what do you expect them to show? Leave your thoughts in the comments. I'm Christina Gomez.

That is it for today. I will see you again tomorrow at 12 p.m. PST for another UFO News Update. Be safe and remember, keep your eyes on the skies.
