...who has been in multiple Congressional SCIFs but is no longer willing to come forward publicly

This is a first for me and dropped in my lap today right as my research partner Michael Armentor and I were getting ready to join Italian UAP researcher Vincenzo Pinelli in a Twitter space. My buddy Pavel linked me up with a recently revealed whistleblower “MICHAEL,” as well as his lawyer Ivan Hannel who represents Lue Elizondo. He’s looking to reveal why he’s no longer stepping forward after working with Congress in multiple SCIF breifings. It’s a lot to process!

As always, I’m trying to keep this whole thing free for everyone. Every dollar counts if you’d like to tip me at my Buy Me a Coffee! link:

I’ll make a separate post about it, but here’s that Twitter space if you’re interested. Among the many incredible insights from Pinelli as he gets ready to take part in the Sol Conference in Italy alongside Roberto Pinotti is that JD Vance’s recent vacation to Italy alongside his recent remarks that he’s “obsessed with UFOs” was specifically related to the UFO reality that stems from the 1933 Magenta, Italy incident that changed everything going forward:

Onto this new whistleblower “MICHAEL,” currently represented by Ivan Hannel, who has been to Congress and spoken with the likes of Sen. Mike Rounds, Rep. Eric Burlison, and SSCI staff for Rounds and Moran and Andy who is the legal counsel. He briefed all these people in multiple SCIFs about his filmed close-up triangle UAP encounter in Wichita, KS around twenty years ago.

Recently, former AARO Acting Director Tim Phillips has been making the podcast rounds divulging info about what AARO knows about UFOs/UAP and the reality of the Pentagon’s knowledge of them.

Lue Elizondo’s lawyer Ivan Hannel has also been conducting his own interviews lately, including this recent one with That UFO Podcast, which kickstarted in 2020 during the pandemic when the Pentagon started authenticating UFO videos for the public:

In that video, he mentions an interview that Tim Phillips had done not long beforehand in which he talked about Black Triangles and other UAPs that AARO had assessed while talking with well-known skeptic/debunker Mick West. You can watch this clip here showing Hannel’s comments about Phillips’ statement in which Phillips admits that AARO had full knowledge of various UAPs captured on sensor data, and Phillips’ statements to Mick West directly about Hannel’s client “MICHAEL” having spoken to Congress:

In that clip, Ivan Hannel states that his new whistleblower was about to come forward in the next week or two. This interview was posted a week ago, and now that whistleblower has backed out.

This whistleblower is the first non-governmental person to go on the record divulging his experience in a SCIF, and he’s talked to both AARO and the SSCI about his experience.

He’s a civilian who’d gone to the SSCI and has been talking to them for two years and is now frustrated that they’re not interested in his testimony that reveals that this is possibly US tech and that his team has countered the US military’s stealth system that trillions of dollars has been spent on.

Here’s that whistleblower’s encounter:

So the exact date I keep because once you have those you can figure out the datalink satellite track. But it was around Wichita Kansas 20+ years ago. The one at the end of the statement that I want to back up with polygraph is a different one. Both involved a craft hoovering less than 50 feet from the ground and we were able to get right up to it. Both were around 10 minutes and the first one lost a piece of craft we recovered. Which is what allowed this all to happen. We know the signature we are looking for. And we happened to have it happen in a business van that involved equipment from a business I owned that included K2 meter, the best flir camera, ultrasonic microphone and a host of other equipment. Including myself and 3 other people. We had a shot … We took it.

40 foot length. Fighter jet sized. Dark grey that absorbed light. Sounds just like corona or arching of electrical. Probably a sample on YouTube. So sounds juiced up. Outside of Wichita Kansas. Field. 3AM on way back from long work trip for business. July. Nice and quiet could hear the crickets

SSCI I spend 2 years with. Lots of SCIF meetings. They don’t wanted what the military does for proof. Physical material and gps coordinates with date and time stamp. Data links. Photos and video with metadata. Tracking radar. And so on.

I’ve found plenty that is physics defying, but not NHI. So I don’t share what is US technology publicly. However as Ivan has seen and we could do some screenshots there is a 2 year record of this. Not just one SCIF…. Several. Including secret location meetings. 100s of pages of emails and text back and forth. That’s the story and why Tim Phillips said what he did.

Well it’s an interesting take you know we got assigned to solve it for SSCI. That’s where the physical materials come from Tim Phillips references. But they didn’t do their part of agreement with deal. My problem with the word “individual” in UAPDA and NDAA is them trying to get what I have. That’s the key. If they take it from me it’s gone. And that’s what I’m doing now is trying to break it out. But not easy to fight the government and be safe at the same time

As AARO and SSCI know I received a death threat from many, including China that came with a video of President Xi Jinping taken from the person next to him with smartphone. To track me by phone and wipe me off face of earth if I didn’t work with them. OSI verified it. This is not the normal alien story this is high stakes with death on the line. I’m trying

Here’s his statement about why he’s shying away from his public engagement:

Statement Regarding UAP, Government Interaction, and Recommendations

1. Background and Unique Position

A small number of people in the UAP field may know me, but most do not. My father and I were, to my knowledge, the first and only non-military, non-contractor individuals to brief Senators and staff inside both the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) SCIF and the AARO SCIF. SSCI staff could not recall any prior occasion when someone without a security clearance had been admitted to SCIF 219 to give such a briefing.

Over the course of two years, we participated in multiple SCIF meetings, including an emergency session related to the Langley AFB drone incursion. We were invited because we had what they called “the goods”: photos and videos of black triangles, physical material, and technology.

We entered as a business seeking a deal for our portfolio. As Tim Phillips stated, the SSCI chairman even considered sending him to Area 51 in search of comparable technology. We located technology with so-called “physics-defying” characteristics — though we never found aliens or non-human intelligence (NHI). The reason the Senate’s UAP focus has been on drones rather than aliens, unlike the House, is largely due to information we provided, including datalinks.

2. Initial Government Engagement

This began when we attempted to sell directly to military branches. Among other things, we informed them we had defeated stealth — including jamming and spoofing countermeasures — rendering trillions of dollars in taxpayer-funded assets (including some not yet built) obsolete.

This got their attention, especially when we provided evidence. We were investigated by AFOSI, NCIS, the IG of Naval Intelligence Activity, Cyber Command, and others. We cooperated fully, including interviews and polygraphs.

Due to jurisdictional overlaps, I ended up meeting with top FBI agents and DOJ representatives. The FBI accused me of blackmailing the U.S. Government. The DOJ, however, cleared me, affirming my right to sell legally obtained technology. The DOD also stated that the UAP/Tic Tac technology was not their property.

3. SSCI Involvement and Fallout

Poor treatment from government agencies led me to complain to SSCI. Upon hearing “UAP” and seeing that I had cleared investigations, they invited me to brief them in the SCIF, assuring me this would “take the heat off” and protect me from the Invention Secrecy Act. I was told it would end in a deal.

This turned out to be false. According to Tim Phillips, SSCI staff began seeking ways to remove me after obtaining the information they wanted. My promised whistleblower protections were revoked, enabling accusations of extortion — which were unfounded.

Phillips publicly revealed I had physical materials, despite knowing about credible threats from foreign actors, including a death threat from China verified by OSI. This exposed me and my family to serious danger. I have received no apology or retraction from SSCI or AARO, and I advise others not to approach them.

4. House Engagement

After concluding SSCI members (including Senators Rounds, Cotton, Warner, Moran, and Gillibrand) acted in bad faith, I approached the House. For two years, I provided briefings on drone threats, including how the Chinese executed the Langley AFB incursion without detection or interception.

Despite this, the House focused on unverified NHI and alien claims, holding hearings without requiring proof. This shift has damaged the credibility of the UAP discussion.

5. Recommendations for Credibility

The UAP community and Congress must change course if they want to be taken seriously:

Require government-level polygraph testing for anyone providing testimony, including whistleblowers, journalists, and self-proclaimed experts.

Avoid sensational, unprovable claims about NHI or alien encounters.

Reset all public statements to “zero” and rebuild with verifiable, polygraphed evidence.

Apply the same standards to well-known figures like David Grusch or Bob Lazar — without public shaming for failure, but with transparency.

Subject “expert” witnesses to the same rigor, including GPS/time-stamped data and monitored experiments.

Without these measures, the next hearing risks being the last credible opportunity for decades.

6. My Position

I am willing to provide SSCI and AARO the same GPS coordinates, date, and time stamp I gave previously, documenting a UAP I observed hovering less than 50 feet away for 10 minutes, along with a witness willing to take a polygraph. This whistleblower has been talking to the SSCI and Mike Rounds and others. Here are screenshots.
