Dylan Borland, a former Air Force geospatial intelligence specialist (1N1) who served in the drone program from 2010 to 2013, experienced a close-range encounter with a triangular craft at Langley Air Force Base in 2012, later worked at BAE Systems where he learned about legacy UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs, became a congressional whistleblower in 2023, and endured systematic retaliation including falsified evidence, clearance sabotage, VA gaslighting, and physical threats — all while maintaining that non-human intelligence operates outside human control and that the cover-up is sustained by transnational agreements and criminal liability.
Background and military service
Borland grew up in Pittsburgh with a family military background; his father was a Navy veteran who worked on aircraft carriers and later set up museum exhibits for the National Archives.
He enlisted in the Air Force in 2010 after a period of homelessness, scoring in the 90s on the ASVAB and choosing imagery analysis, which placed him in the ISR drone program supporting special operations.
From 2010 to 2013 he worked 12-hour Panama shifts on manned and unmanned aerial vehicles and satellite imagery, often providing target confirmation for strikes.
The drone program had the highest suicide rate in the military at the time; operators suffered severe PTSD from the dissociation of killing via screen while living stateside, and Borland still carries the moral weight of collateral damage.
He was medically discharged in 2013 after witnessing a suicide and experiencing the beginning of VA mistreatment.
The 2012 Langley triangle sighting
In summer 2012, while on standby during a weather hold, Borland was smoking outside his barracks at 0130 when a white light appeared near the NASA hangar and flew toward him across the base.
As it approached, a black equilateral triangle (100–150 feet per side) manifested or decloaked around the light, which became a large pulsating center light with smaller corner lights; the craft’s surface rippled like a lava lamp with gold-transparent flow.
It stopped 100 feet away and 100 feet above him for 2–3 minutes; he felt static electricity, smelled a lightning storm, and his cell phone overheated, froze, and lost the call with a federal officer buddy.
The center light flashed and the craft shot from 100 feet to at least 30,000 feet in 2–3 seconds (roughly 10,000–15,000 ft/sec), hovered like a satellite, then traversed east over the Atlantic.
His tech sergeant warned him never to speak of it; a security forces “raven” described a C-17 landing at a North Dakota base at night, offloading a guarded box under general-only access, then reloading and departing.
BAE Systems and program knowledge
After completing a master’s degree, Borland worked at BAE Systems (British Aerospace Engineering) from roughly 2015 to 2018 in a multi-agency role supporting special access programs.
Colleagues who were read into legacy UFO programs recognized his Langley sighting and assumed he was already read in; they shared information about a specific program with a historical backlog of crash retrieval and reverse engineering data.
He learned of a genetics component to the programs, biologics recovered with craft, and an umbrella structure connecting MK Ultra, remote viewing, ESP, and UFO programs under CIA and Department of Energy control.
The program name “Rubik’s Cube” was leaked by ODNI to journalist Jeremy Corbell; Borland cannot confirm or deny but notes the puzzle/hieroglyph theme appears in Google Maps tags at NASA Langley by employees posting pyramids, labyrinths, and rock formations.
BAE’s Falcon Works partners with Lockheed Skunk Works on materials, engines, and engineering; Commander David Fravor (Nimitz) reportedly works at BAE.
Whistleblower journey and congressional testimony
In March 2023, after a trusted colleague in the legacy program lost their job and Borland heard lives were in danger, he contacted Congress; on March 3 he briefed staffers in a SCIF on the program’s existence, bad acts, and reality of the craft.
Staffers directed him to AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office); he met with them in late March 2023, but they did not record the conversation and later sent a false Memorandum for Record (MFR) misrepresenting his testimony.
AARO acknowledged his triangle sighting as unclassified but immediately classified his other drawings and technical descriptions under a special access program; Tim Phillips (AARO director after Kirkpatrick) later confirmed Borland drew two drawings and that classification guidance wrapped them into a SAP.
Borland also went to the ICIG (Intelligence Community Inspector General), who extremely hinted that humans are not in charge of the phenomenon.
Retaliation and reprisals
At BAE, his clearance was manipulated via “admin withdrawal” (the 2-year use-or-lose rule); a request for an updated SF-86 was sent to his old SSO, and when he didn’t fill it out within 30 days (not working there), his clearance went into admin withdrawal, freezing his career.
After his Ditra contract ended in summer 2024, retaliation resumed: polygraphs demanding disclosure of classified testimony, job wreckage, and clearance games.
The VA denied he ever held his Air Force job despite his EPRs, diagnosed him with PTSD for a job they claimed he never did, forced him into a bizarre polygraph program with flashing images and air horns while counting backward from 100 by 7, and prescribed SSRIs that induced suicidal ideation (documented; his psychiatrist quit over it).
His brake lines were cut (police confirmed); he received stalking threats; he maintains a dead man’s switch.
ODNI DIG (Director’s Initiative Group) leaked classified info and medical records to journalists, fabricated a fourth drawing he never made that contradicted AARO’s own report, and accused him of treason/espionage (death penalty offenses) for drawing a hieroglyph while simultaneously claiming the UFO program is fake.
ODNI and AARO misconduct
ODNI, legally subordinate to the DNI but effectively bypassed by CIA and DOE, falsified evidence: AARO sent a false MFR to ODNI; ODNI used it to target Borland; he retained the true email trail proving the corrections he made and AARO’s acknowledgment of errors.
The fabricated fourth drawing was described in text (unclassified) but ODNI claimed it was a classified drawing; the classification guidance contradicts their own accusation.
Congress passed legislation in 2024 (after Grush’s 2023 testimony and 40 witnesses) redefining “credible and urgent” and protecting whistleblowers who disclose CIA and DOE secrets to the ICIG from espionage prosecution — an implicit admission of the legal trap.
Chuck McCullough, former ICIG, now represents whistleblowers; his involvement signals the subject’s reality.
Non-human intelligence and control structures
Borland is certain craft exist that were not made by humanity at the time of recovery; origin unknown (future, past, elsewhere).
He believes a transnational agreement exists among governments (China, Russia, US) and possibly with the NHI, because adversaries could expose the program but don’t.
The ICIG hinted humans are not in charge; Matthew Brown (fellow whistleblower) stated humans are a resource.
Borland hypothesizes a soul-level testing framework: advanced civilizations may use genetics, AI, and simulation to evaluate consciousness; the Book of Enoch (excluded from canon for not being 100% true but containing truth) describes Watchers mating with humans, producing Nephilim.
He agrees with simulation theory (Bostrom, Musk) and the forcing function of technology (lower latency, higher bandwidth manipulation of reality), leading to a logical structure where virtue determines post-mortem instantiation in a heaven/hell simulation.
The cover-up persists because disclosure would expose criminal activity, embarrassment, and financial fraud; executive orders forbid classification for those reasons, yet they do it.
Consciousness, remote viewing, and synchronicities
Borland believes remote viewing, prophetic dreams, and consciousness projection are real; the CIA’s “Weird Desk” (Kit Green, Hal Putoff, Uri Geller) tested experiencers and “hybrids” in MRIs (leaked 2017 call).
He experienced precise synchronicities: dreaming of a friend’s specific cheese request (provolone and capicola) while the friend simultaneously tweeted a Nas lyric sample; sensing the death of close family/friends via quantum entanglement of souls/genetics.
He avoids “woo” publicly because he’s fighting on provable ground, but acknowledges the phenomenon connects to consciousness.
Kona Blue documents admit the US government can implant false memories and manipulate brains without drugs; Russia, China, and private companies now have this capability, making attribution of experiences (NHI vs. human) nearly impossible.
Vanguard project
Co-founded with Matthew Brown to support whistleblowers and their families medically, financially, spiritually, and emotionally; website at vanguard.org.
Aims to provide safe harbor, job placement, internet scrubbing, dead man’s switch infrastructure, and legal/medical advocacy so future whistleblowers don’t endure the same retaliation.
Seeks to serve as a control group for studying ontological shock: experiencers who also blew the whistle.
Funded by private donors (including Jeff, last name withheld); not a grift — focuses on basic survival (food, housing, safety) for whistleblowers and their kids.
Personal context and closing
Borland lives frugally with his wife (also highly educated) in a low-cost area; describes his situation as purgatory despite his service and testimony.
Mentored by Dr. Paul Thigpen, a Catholic PhD who guided him through theology, Enoch, and the UFO subject without proselytizing; Thigpen’s death deeply affected him.
Top five rappers: Nas, Jay-Z, Andre 3000, B-Real (or Biggie), Tupac.
Final message: hold the government accountable; tell the truth; what you do here matters; you are an eternal being.
