On the evening of February 15, 2023, at approximately 1915 PST in the Whiskey 291 Warning Area off the coast of Southern California, I was serving on board USS Jackson.
The retaliation I faced and the retaliation against individuals I know who worked in these programs is what convinced me in March 2023 to become a whistleblower.
At the end of March 2023 I agreed to meet with ARRO following the suggestion of other federal officials believing it was what our nation required of me.
After David Grush testified under oath in the summer of 2023 and provided historic disclosure I was then asked to go to the IC IG and did so in August 2023.
In 2023 patriots provided this committee and the executive branch with undeniable proof of the UAP reality and I commend your continued commitment.
I think the staff at Arrow that I met with in March of 2023, I think they were good people doing the job they were told to do.
Yeah. And then finally, Mr. Borland, when you engaged with Arrow in 2023, you noted that their public statements did not match the reality that you and others had witnessed. In your assessment, what were the key limitations of Arrow?
I remember in the 2003 or 2023 hearing, it was stated that all UAP-related material is classified secret or above.
