A Public Request for Disclosure
A coalition of alleged UFO whistleblowers is calling on President Donald Trump to authorize the release of classified information about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and possible extraterrestrial life. The appeal, described in a report published Sept. 21, 2026, centers on claims that former government personnel and contractors are bound by lifelong nondisclosure agreements that prevent them from speaking publicly about what they allegedly witnessed or learned.
The individuals say they want the White House to waive or otherwise neutralize those restrictions so they can provide a full account to Congress, the American public and the international community. The supplied report does not identify a specific legal mechanism Trump would use, nor does it include a response from the White House. It also does not independently verify the whistleblowers’ claims about recovered craft, non-human biological material or secret government programs.
Former Officials and Contractors Cite Alleged Evidence
Among those named is David Grusch, a former Air Force and intelligence officer who testified before Congress in 2023. Grusch has alleged that the U.S. government and defense contractors have operated long-running crash-retrieval and reverse-engineering programs. He has also said that officials recovered craft of unknown origin and biological entities described as “non-human occupants.” According to the report, Grusch maintains that he has seen photographic and video evidence and is prepared to provide additional information to the White House.
The appeal also includes Matthew Brown, identified as a defense-industry contractor who has raised allegations about a program called “Immaculate Constellation.” Brown reportedly describes the initiative as a classified effort to collect UAP data from across the federal government. Dylan Borland, an Air Force veteran, is also cited. Borland testified in 2024 that he observed a large triangular object hovering near a NASA hangar before it disappeared in a flash. The report provides no publicly documented technical analysis or independent corroboration of those accounts.
Advocates Seek Presidential Protection
Filmmaker and UAP advocate James Fox has promoted the request, arguing that the alleged whistleblowers need presidential authorization before disclosing information covered by security agreements. “You’ve got some heavyweight whistleblowers willing to reveal what they know,” Fox said. “All they need is immunity from the president. Just the stroke of a pen. He’s got the authority to do it.”
Fox characterized the request as an unprecedented direct appeal to a president for protection from potential legal consequences. However, the distinction between waiving a nondisclosure agreement, declassifying records and granting immunity from prosecution can be significant. Security obligations may involve multiple agencies, classification rules and statutes, meaning a presidential directive alone may not resolve every legal barrier.
Congressional Interest and Unanswered Questions
The proposal has received support from lawmakers including Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison, who said Trump could become a historically consequential leader by pursuing greater transparency. Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, chair of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, has emphasized that protecting whistleblowers from retaliation is a priority.
The administration has also established the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UFO Encounters, which allows personnel to submit UAP-related information to the federal government. That system, as described in the report, does not authorize witnesses to bypass classification rules and disclose sensitive information directly to the public. For now, the central claims remain allegations, and the White House has not publicly announced whether it will grant the requested waivers or release supporting evidence.
