UFO Whistleblowers Urge Trump To Waive NDAs So They Can Go Public

One of science's most enduring questions — whether humanity is alone in the universe — has resurfaced as a political issue after several high-profile whistleblowers publicly asked former President Donald Trump to waive their lifetime nondisclosure agreements (NDAs).

Their request: a presidential waiver or formal immunity that would free them to disclose what they say are long-suppressed findings about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), recovered materials and, in some claims, biological entities.

Who Is Involved

David Grusch — A former Air Force and intelligence officer who testified to Congress in 2023 alleging long-running retrieval programs. Grusch says he has seen photos and video of recovery operations, including alleged craft and "non-human occupants," and told supporters he would provide further details if legally permitted.

Matthew Brown — A defense contractor who has described an alleged cross-agency data-collection effort he calls "Immaculate Constellation." Brown says a lifetime NDA prevents public disclosure without written White House authorization and has called on the president to allow the information to be revealed.

Dylan Borland — An Air Force veteran who testified in 2024 about witnessing a large triangular object hover over a NASA hangar before vanishing. Borland has urged the administration to "rip the bandage off" and confirm whether recovered materials or biological entities exist.

Legal Path And Public Appeal

Filmmaker and longtime UAP advocate James Fox says a single presidential act — a waiver, pardon, or an explicit grant of immunity — would enable these insiders to speak without fear of prosecution. Fox framed the appeal as historically unprecedented: a direct, public plea to the president to lift NDAs and provide whistleblower protections.

"You've got some heavyweight whistleblowers willing to reveal what they know. All they need is immunity from the president. Just the stroke of a pen. He's got the authority to do it," said Fox.

Reaction In Washington

The public plea has drawn responses from Capitol Hill. Representative Eric Burlison (R-MO) praised the idea, saying the move could be consequential if it produced new public disclosures. Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), chair of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, stressed that protecting whistleblowers and shielding them from retribution should be a priority.

Supporters note that the former administration implemented a reporting channel called the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UFO Encounters to allow personnel to report UAP-related information to the government. However, that system does not remove legal barriers that prevent whistleblowers from publishing classified details directly to the public.

Context And Caveats

Advocates point to previously released files and public testimony as reasons to pursue further disclosures, while skeptics and many scientists urge careful verification and peer review before accepting extraordinary claims. Reports that a president privately told associates that extraterrestrial life exists have circulated, but advocates say formal, documented disclosures are needed for public confirmation.

With several insiders saying they are ready to speak if legally freed, attention is focused on whether the White House will take steps that could enable public testimony or a formal declassification process.
