Overview
An October 15, 2026, episode of the Full Disclosure podcast featured constitutional attorney Danny Sheehan discussing alleged government secrecy surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), claims attributed to former intelligence officials, and efforts to compel greater congressional oversight. Speaking from a “Science of Consciousness” symposium in San Diego, Sheehan connected recent statements by former Advanced Aerospace Weapons Special Applications Program (AAWSAP) official Jay Stratton with broader theories involving non-human intelligence, classified research, and consciousness-related technologies.
The program’s central allegation concerned an encounter reportedly held at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico on April 26, 1964. According to Sheehan’s account, three unidentified craft approached the installation, one landed, and a non-human occupant met with three senior Air Force officials and two CIA representatives. Sheehan said Stratton had corroborated aspects of the story in his book, Out of the Shadows, and claimed that the meeting involved telepathic communication.
The Alleged Holloman Footage
Sheehan further asserted that the encounter was recorded on 16mm film and that the footage is being held in a vault at the U.S. Air Force Safety Center at Kirtland Air Force Base. He described the film as the “most easily provable case” for congressional investigators and urged lawmakers to subpoena it.
No independent evidence confirming the film’s existence, chain of custody, or contents was presented in the summary. The U.S. government has not publicly authenticated the alleged 1964 event, and the claims remain unverified. Stratton’s reported statements, as characterized on the podcast, would represent a significant development if supported by documentation, but they would still require corroboration from records, witnesses, or physical evidence.
Claims of Secrecy and Disinformation
The discussion also included allegations that the Defense Department and CIA conducted a long-running psychological operation intended to discredit UAP witnesses and portray them as mentally ill. Sheehan linked those claims to testimony by former intelligence officer David Grusch, who has alleged under oath that a covert “legacy group” has managed recovered technology and operated beyond effective congressional oversight.
Sheehan characterized the alleged organization as an entrenched power structure that views elected officials and the president as “temporary employees.” These assertions have not been established by publicly available evidence. While Grusch’s testimony has generated congressional interest, many of the most consequential claims remain disputed, classified, or under investigation.
Consciousness and Advanced Technology
The podcast also examined claims that some recovered craft may be “semi-sentient” and controlled through telepathy or other forms of consciousness-based interaction. Sheehan attributed related assertions to Stratton and Luis Elizondo, a former official associated with the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.
He additionally cited alleged historical experiments involving astronaut Edgar Mitchell, astronaut Gordon Cooper, and remote viewer Pat Price. Among the stories discussed were purported demonstrations of teleportation and an experiment in which Price supposedly influenced residents of a Michigan town to file tax returns at a post office in West Virginia. The summary did not identify publicly verified documentation establishing that these events occurred as described.
Legislative and Legal Efforts
Sheehan said disclosure advocates are pursuing several avenues, including legislation supported by Representative Eric Burlison and Senator Chuck Schumer that would create a congressional review board with subpoena authority. He also said the New Paradigm Institute is preparing a federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) complaint targeting individuals allegedly involved in an 80-year concealment effort, and called for former Admiral Bobby Ray Inman to face questioning.
The attorney urged viewers to join “Citizens for Disclosure,” which he said has teams in 43 states. Whether the proposed legal and legislative strategies gain traction will depend on the production of verifiable evidence and support in Congress. For now, the broadcast adds to a growing public debate over UAP transparency, while its most dramatic claims remain allegations rather than independently confirmed findings.
