This is the printed transcript of a September 9, 2025 hearing held by the U.S. House Oversight Committee's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, chaired by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. The witnesses were Jeffrey Nuccetelli, Alexandro Wiggins, George Knapp, Dylan Borland and Joe Spielberger. They described UAP incursions at Vandenberg Air Force Base from 2003 to 2005 and a tic-tac-shaped object seen from USS Jackson in 2023. Members criticized AARO and called for whistleblower protections and the UAP Disclosure Act.

Mr. Wiggins and Mr. Knapp, we will get back to what that video
was in a moment, but we just want to make sure that it was en-
tered into the record, as well as all the documents. Those will be
able to be publicly found for everyone in the country to view.
If we could, Mr. Knapp, we will continue on the line of ques-
tioning, but I am going to move on to Mr. Borland’s opening state-
ment.
STATEMENT OF DYLAN BORLAND, UAP WITNESS
U.S. AIR FORCE VETERAN
Mr. BORLAND. Good morning, Members of the Task Force and the
Committee. I would like to express my gratitude for being invited
to testify to the current Task Force created under the people’s
chamber and the American public. As an American citizen, veteran,
and intelligence community professional, it is an honor and a privi-
lege to serve under oath before you on behalf of our country. I
speak for myself and no former agency or company I have been pre-
viously affiliated with.
My name is Dylan Borland, a former 1N1 geospatial intelligence
specialist for the United States Air Force in an active-duty enlisted
capacity from 2010 to 2013. I have also been employed with BAE
Systems and Intrepid Solutions as a senior analyst, expert in ana-
lyzing video radar and advanced electro-optical imagery for official
identification of aerial order of battle, as well as naval and ground
order of battle.
I am a Federal whistleblower, having testified to both the Inspec-
tor General of the Intelligence Community (IC IG) and AARO with
direct firsthand knowledge of and experience with craft and tech-
nologies that are not ours and are reportedly operating without
congressional oversight. Because of my direct knowledge of the re-
ality of certain legacy UAP programs, my professional career was
deliberately obstructed, and I have endured sustained reprisals
from government agencies for over a decade.
From 2011 to 2013, I was stationed at Langley Air Force Base,
Virginia, conducting 24-hour operations via manned and unmanned
aerial vehicles for special operations forces in the global war on ter-
ror. During the summer of 2012, my team was on standby for
weather, and I returned to my barracks on base, and at approxi-
mately 0130, I saw an approximately 100-foot equilateral triangle
take off from near the NASA hangar on the base. The craft inter-
fered with my telephone, did not have any sound, and the material
it was made of appeared fluid or dynamic. I was under this tri-
angular craft for a few minutes, and then it rapidly ascended to
commercial jet level in seconds, displaying zero kinetic disturbance,
sound, or wind displacement.
Some years after that experience, I was further exposed to classi-
fied information from the UAP legacy crash retrieval program
through a sensitive position I held within a special access program.
During this time, intelligence officers approached me in fear for
their own careers, citing misconduct within these programs and
similar retaliation that I was already enduring at this time. These
issues include medical malpractice committed by Veterans Affairs
staff; denial of work I performed while enlisted in the United
States Air Force; forging manipulated employment documents;
