A coalition of prominent UFO whistleblowers has publicly asked President Trump to waive their lifetime government nondisclosure agreements so they can reveal classified information about alleged extraterrestrial programs to the American people.
Dylan Borland, David Grusch and Matthew Brown say they accumulated their information while working in highly classified government positions and are legally barred from discussing it without direct White House authorization. The three men have now joined forces in an unprecedented public appeal, eschewing private channels in favor of a direct plea to the president.
“For the first time in history you have a direct public plea, not private… To the president of the United States, to have their NDAs waived and have them protected, so they can disclose what they know to the American population, because they feel like it’s that important that everyone should be entitled to know that we’re not alone,” filmmaker and disclosure advocate James Fox told The Post.
“You’ve got some heavyweight whistleblowers willing to reveal what they know. All they need is immunity from the president. Just the stroke of a pen. He’s got the authority to do it,” Fox added.
Grusch, an Air Force officer who served as an intelligence officer at the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office, testified to Congress in 2023 that the US government has operated secret UFO crash retrieval programs for decades. In a video released by Fox, he delivered a direct message to the White House.
“Mr. President, give us the authorization and we’re ready to go,” Grusch said.
He described evidence he claimed to have witnessed firsthand. “This included photographs and video of the [recovery] operations including the craft and the non-human occupants. And I’ve seen this evidence with my own two eyes,” he said.
Grusch also offered to brief administration officials directly. “I am prepared to provide a full historical accounting to the National Security Council… And the White House Chief of Staff and make any supporting public statements that are authorized,” he said.
Borland, an Air Force veteran, testified to Congress in 2024 that he witnessed a massive triangular UFO hovering and maneuvering over a NASA hangar for several minutes before it zoomed off into the sky in the flash of an eye. He told The Post that only Trump himself can authorize the full disclosure they seek.
“Disclosure has to come from [President Trump]. He needs to rip the Band-Aid off himself and needs to go out there and confirm we’re not alone. We’ve recovered materials and entities — biologics,” Borland said.
Brown, an independent contractor for the defense industry, came forward on the Weaponized Podcast in early 2026 to reveal details about an alleged secret government program called Immaculate Constellation which collects data on UFOs from across the government. He explained the legal constraints he faces.
“The NDAs I signed prohibit me from publicly disclosing classified information obtained through my national security work without prior written government authorization, and that obligation lasts for life,” Brown said.
He framed the presidential decision in sweeping terms. “President Trump has the opportunity to uproot the source of deep-state corruption, reset international relations, and lead humanity into a new era of awareness and discovery by disclosing one simple fact: we are not alone,” Brown added.
The Trump administration has already taken one limited step toward loosening restrictions. Officials announced a new legal waiver allowing current and former government personnel to report UFO and alien-related information to the federal government — but only through the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, not for public disclosure.
Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), who supports the whistleblower group, told The Post that Trump has the chance to be the most consequential leader in modern times. “He’s already demonstrated that he’s willing to be more transparent to the American people than any president in American history,” Burlison said.
“Each of these tranches of releases we have had — even just one of the documents in one of the tranches — would’ve been a monumental moment in UAP history prior to the Trump administration,” Burlison continued.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who chairs the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, told The Post her focus has been on protecting whistleblowers rather than pushing for immediate public release. “Heading up the Declass Task Force I quickly discovered a lot of these whistleblowers were scared to go public in fear of retribution, so I made efforts to secure whistleblower protections as a top priority,” she said.
“We are hoping with these new measures in place in people will feel safer to come forward,” Luna added.
The whistleblowers’ coalition represents the most direct public pressure campaign yet on the administration to move beyond internal reporting mechanisms and authorize full public disclosure of alleged government UFO secrets.
