...have come forward to spill their secrets to senior members of congress

• Lawyer Daniel Sheehan said he is in contact with at least six former government officials or military contractors who say they worked on UFO programs 
• The whistleblowers claim they worked on Roswell-style UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs and have spoken to members of congress 
• The attorney is launching a watchdog charity pushing for greater government transparency on UFOs

Senior members of Congress have spoken to as many as six whistleblowers who claim they worked on Roswell-style UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs, according to a top attorney, a leading Stanford scientist, and ex-UFO program officials.

For decades it has been the subject of spooky TV shows and sci-fi novels: the theory that the government has alien spacecraft in a bunker somewhere, and has been trying to disassemble and understand their technology.

But things got a lot more real after Congress passed a law last year creating whistleblower protections for anyone who has worked in such mind-boggling secret programs – suggesting they may be more than just fiction.

The 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), signed into law by President Joe Biden in December, included an amendment requiring the Pentagon to give high-ranking Senators classified reports on any previously undisclosed programs 'relating to unidentified anomalous phenomena, including with respect to material retrieval, material analysis, reverse engineering'.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Daniel Sheehan said he is in contact with at least six former government officials or military contractors who say they worked on just such a program.

In May, the House Intelligence Committee held its first public hearing on UFOs in 54 years where panel members grilled Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray (left) and Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie (right)

Sheehan represents Lue Elizondo, who ran a previous incarnation of the UFO office called AATIP until 2017. The attorney is also launching a watchdog charity pushing for greater government transparency on UFOs.

Sheehan said that some of these half-dozen whistleblowers briefed the staff of Senate committees dealing with military intelligence even before the NDAA passed, and may have even been the inspiration for Senators to include the 'reverse engineering' language.

'There are half a dozen of them that have already gone and talked to them,' he said. 'The Senate staff people were reaching out to some others.'

Sheehan says witnesses who allegedly know about Roswell-style programs, including a former Defense Intelligence Agency director, have been referred for interviews with the Pentagon's UFO office, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).

A top Stanford scientist says he is also in touch with whistleblowers.

Immunologist and Nobel Prize nominee Dr. Garry Nolan was commissioned by the CIA to investigate cases of the mysterious Havana Syndrome inflicting embassy officials worldwide, and has conducted experiments analyzing material allegedly jettisoned in UFO flyovers.

He claims to be in contact with several former staffers of extraordinary UFO 'reverse engineering' programs.

'I have good reason to trust a number of individuals who were actually part of the reverse engineering, or very close to the reverse engineering programs, or who have testified to the fact, recently,' he said in a podcast interview earlier this year. 

'When you testify, you're under oath. So these people are putting their careers at risk for breaking one oath [of secrecy] and taking another.'

AARO director Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick may have hinted that his office has indeed interviewed whistleblowers, in testimony to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday. 

'Congress has mandated that your office establish a discoverable and accessible electronic method for potential witnesses of UAP incidents and potential participants in government UAP-related activities to contact your office to tell their stories,' Gillibrand said to Kirkpatrick.

'Congress also set up a process whereby people who are subject to non-disclosure agreements, preventing them from disclosing what they may have witnessed or participated in, could tell you what they know without risk of retribution from the violation of their NDAs.

'When do you expect that you will establish a public facing discoverable access portal for people to use to contact your office as the law requires?'

'Thank you all very much for referring the witnesses that you have thus far to us. I appreciate that,' Kirkpatrick replied. 'We've brought in nearly two dozen so far.'

He added that an online portal for witnesses had been 'submitted for approval'.
