Marine’s incredible UFO tale breaks 14-year silence, revealing more astonishing reports.

UFO Whistleblower Sparks Surge in Reports

Ever since a UFO whistleblower announced that he had handed over reams of documents to Congress, more reports have emerged almost daily.

Marine Veteran Reveals Astonishing UFO Encounter

Enter Michael Herrera, who served four years in the Marines. In April, he testified under oath to the government’s UFO investigation team, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), as well as appearing before a Senate committee.

Herrera, who in 2009 was a 20-year-old rifleman sent on a Navy mission following the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami that ripped through Indonesia, has kept quiet for 14 years. Now, he’s telling his story.

The former Marine says he and five comrades saw a flying, octagonal-shaped saucer being loaded with weapons. When they were spotted, they were threatened at gunpoint by unmarked U.S. forces.

“I could see something moving and rotating. It was changing colors between a very light matte gray to a very dark matte black,” he said, the Daily Mail reported. “It stuck out like a sore thumb.”

“The thing was massive, the size of a football field. The craft was rotating in a clockwise motion while changing colors. It had an audible hum to it, like the sound of a transformer or a guitar amp. It was an octagonal shape with a pyramid at the top of it that was black,” Herrera said.

“It had scales that were on the outside of the craft that covered the whole craft. It had seams and sharp edges which I suspect to be man-made. Nothing on it was smooth. It had some panels on the vertical edges that were like Vantablack,” a super-black color that absorbs light.

Herrera said the group investigated, and he even took pictures and video on his camera. The Mail said he did not supply the photos.

He did, however, provide texts about the incident with another witness, who has since refused to tell his tale, saying it was “not worth my life or jeopardizing my family.”

The reports of UFOs, now known as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), have spiked since David Charles Grusch said he gave Congress reams of classified information about covert U.S. government programs that he says are now in possession of an intact craft of “non-human origin.”

Grusch, 36, is a decorated former combat officer in Afghanistan and a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office. He was the reconnaissance office’s representative to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021. And then from late 2021 to July 2022, he was the NGA’s co-lead for UAP analysis and its representative to the task force.

The UAP expert said the information was illegally withheld from Congress, and he “filed a complaint alleging that he suffered illegal retaliation for his confidential disclosures,” The Debrief reported.

“Grusch said the recoveries of partial fragments through and up to intact vehicles have been made for decades through the present day by the government, its allies, and defense contractors. Analysis has determined that the objects retrieved are ‘of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures,’ he said,” The Debrief reported.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who has reportedly attended a classified UAP briefing on a military base in Florida on February 21, has also revealed a small bit of info he has received.

“I have seen evidence of craft that I am not familiar with any of our allies or adversaries or even our country possessing. I’ve seen that craft taken by air crews who have gotten quite close to it and we’ve got a lot more questions about why this information isn’t more broadly available to the American people,” Gaetz told Newsmax last week.
