Restoring Public Trust Through Uap Transparency and Whistleblower Protection

16
Without objection, so ordered.
I now recognize myself for 5 minutes of questioning.
Also, as my friend Mr. Moskowitz might have to go, would you
like to go now? Okay. All right.
Mr. Borland, in your testimony, you described witnessing large
triangular craft while stationed at Langley Air Force Base in 2012.
Can you explain what you observed in terms of size, behavior, and
why you are confident it was not conventional technology?
Mr. BORLAND. Great question, ma’am. So, on barracks—on the
base, I lived in the barracks. There was a little smoke pit outside.
I was there on the telephone and looking across to the flightline,
and I see a white light pop up and stop about 100 feet in the air.
I thought it was a weather balloon. I have seen tests from there
before, a weeknight, you know, normal thing, not surprising.
I actually finished my cigarette, and I began walking up toward
the flightline. There is a track, and because I was on three months
of night work, I began—I would walk the track at night when we
were weathered down. And as I began walking toward the light, to-
ward the flightline and the track, the light then flies across the
base, across the flightline, and as it flies to me, a triangle mani-
fests around the light. I cannot tell you if it is active camouflage.
I cannot tell you if it appeared around the light, but I can tell you
that it was a white light, and then it was a triangle.
It stopped about 100 feet in front of me and approximately 100
feet above me. My telephone got extremely hot, completely froze,
dead. I remember how thick it was. It was between one to two sto-
ries thick, equilateral triangle. I could never see the top of it, and
the edges were 90 degree—90 degrees. There were four lights in
total, one light on each corner, and a larger light in the center, two
to three times the size of the corner lights.
But what was really odd was the outside. The best way to de-
scribe it is like looking at a James Webb telescope picture where
you have the colors and then the black background. So, the craft
itself was this black metallic flake paint, but on top of the craft
was this gold, lava, plasma, some type of fluid going over and
around the craft.
I am under this for about 2 to 3 minutes, and then the center
light flashes two to three times, no sound, immediately shoots up
to commercial jet level minimum, in my opinion, and I immediately
feel static electricity all over my body, and then I smell the smell
of after a thunderstorm or lightning storm, that really strong sum-
mer thunderstorm smell.
It gets up to flight level. I am trying to get my phone reset, and
I can only see the center light at this point. If I did not actually
see it take off, I would have thought it was a star. And then it hov-
ers up there, and it begins to slowly move due east out over the
Atlantic Ocean. I finally got my phone reset. The entire thing was
about—from the time I saw the light pop up near the hangar until
it took off out over the ocean was about 15 minutes.
Mrs. LUNA. And following up to that question, after you disclose
this information to the intelligence community inspector general,
you are subject to phishing attempts and job blacklisting. How
widespread do you think this is across the intelligence community
for those who raise concerns regarding UAP programs?
