Silicon Valley wants a Flying Saucer

“There is a strange urge in my mind: I would like to stop behaving as if I am a rat pressing levers — even if I have to give up the cheese and go hungry for a while. I would like to step outside the conditioning maze and see what makes it tick. I wonder what I would find. Perhaps a terrible superhuman monstrosity the very contemplation of which would make a person insane? Perhaps a solemn gathering of sages? Or the maddening simplicity of unattended clockwork?”

JACQUES VALLEE, Dimensions (1988)

- - - -

In Jacques Vallee’s newest journal, Forbidden Science 7, he revealed that Lue Elizondo and Garry Nolan met with Peter Thiel in July 2022. “Our main topic was the plan to start a new phase of research. Garry and Lue have gone to see Peter Thiel again, now in Bel Air. Peter told them he was only interested in applying ‘working technology’ to the problem, but of course there’s no such thing in the open (and possibly not behind closed doors either), as Peter knows well. They walked out empty-handed.”

Many UFO buffs were already aware that Dr. Vallee and Dr. Nolan had established a relationship with Peter Thiel as early as May 2019. In his previous journal, Forbidden Science 6, the French computer scientist wrote, “Opulence was de rigueur as Garry Nolan and I politely awaited our turn to present our speculative deal before venture tycoon Peter Thiel, an investor genius and Donald Trump supporter of Paladin fame, who made his well-deserved fortune (in part) with PayPal. Under EuroAmerica, we had tried hard to build a similar company and failed, so I recognize the business talent we’re meeting here.”

Elizondo — who is often portrayed as a no-nonsense, just-the-facts personality — has never openly discussed a relationship with Thiel. In Elizondo’s 2024 memoir, there is no mention of the 2022 “Bel Air” meeting Vallee described. Why?

Is it possible that Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and other billionaires in Silicon Valley have considerably more interest in UFOs than they publicly display? After all, in Nate Silver’s recent book, On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything, Silver quietly claimed that in the year 2000, Thiel and Musk witnessed a UFO in California. “’It sort of rotated in a three hundred and sixty degree horizontal loop in the air,’ said Peter Thiel. ‘An unidentified flying object flying six feet above Sand Hill Road.’”

Is it also possible that the cast of UFO characters suddenly ingratiating themselves into our podcast algorithms since 2019 — Elizondo, Nolan, Corbell, Weinstein, Greer and Greenstreet, among many others — are simply a part of an astroturf campaign to influence public opinion and help their billionaire (excuse me, trillionaire) friends acquire exotic technology?

In November 2018, filmmaker Jeremy Corbell revealed on Twitter that he had previously had dinner with Elon Musk and his brother, Kimbal Musk. In a December 2018 post, Corbell responded to a fan, “Thanks for the compliment. @elonmusk and his brother @kimbal visited my town Pioneertown for a friends wedding and we got to chill. They are both getting screeners of my film for sure #1 on iTunes #BobLazar”.

Back in 2019, Corbell and Bob Lazar would appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast to discuss a variety of strange topics. In this interview, Corbell described how Robert Bigelow’s earlier private effort, NIDS, had been studying Skinwalker Ranch’s high-strangeness phenomena for years. When the $22 million DIA contract was awarded to Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), Corbell framed it as specifically designed to expand that ranch research with government funding. Bigelow’s scientists were hired to investigate objects emerging from sky portals and other anomalies at the property, which Corbell said directly inspired the program. Readers should note, Corbell’s June 2019 interview is the second-most-viewed episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast. The first most viewed episode is Elon Musk’s September 2018 appearance. Silicon Valley knows this.

Corbell: “Right. Do you remember when he had that government contract called AAWSAP the world all knows about now? And he had NIDS that studied the ranch? So that 22 million everybody is saying, ‘It was for AATIP, Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program’. The 22 million dollars was for AAWSAP. That was pushed through, through congress. Three congressmen. Right? An astronaut. It was pushed through. And that’s what that 22 million dollars — by the way they spend more money on Viagra every year than they do studying UFOs, if it was just this program — which I think is funny.”

Rogan: “Yeah but they probably make a lot more money from Viagra than they do from UFOs too.”

Corbell: “They probably do. Yeah well you never know how it seeds into a population. But anyway, this program — this is what was the mother program — so it got the 22 million. And really, it was to study Skinwalker Ranch. Oddly enough, that 22 million all was inspired by the phenomenon they were seeing in Skinwalker Ranch, because the scientists, they’re seeing vehicles come through, like, a space in the sky.”

Four years later, Corbell’s friend David Grusch would appear on Joe Rogan to set the record straight on what that 22 million dollars was actually for. According to Grusch, AAWSAP (Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program) was primarily aimed at creating a highly secure “catcher’s mitt” under a bigoted, waived Special Access Program (SAP) requested by Harry Reid to the Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn, involving limited congressional reporting and access restricted to named individuals like Reid, James Inhofe, and Lue Elizondo. This SAP was intended to facilitate Lockheed Martin’s divestment of recovered materials held at a specific facility and involving the CIA as a government customer, with $21-22 million allocated to Bigelow Aerospace for building facilities in Las Vegas and acquiring material analysis equipment, rather than focusing mainly on ghosts or Skinwalker Ranch, which were secondary objectives. Grusch would continue to tell Rogan, “But going back to that transfer with Lockheed, long story short, can’t get in all the nuanced details but basically the CIA said fuck you to DIA and Lockheed and it was totally killed. So Harry Reid’s request to get the material transferred to the AAWSAP program was totally killed because of bureaucracy and kind of fiefdom stuff.”

In simpler terms, Robert Bigelow wanted to acquire UFO technology from Lockheed Martin, and the CIA stopped him.

Readers may not know that Mr. Bigelow and Elon Musk collaborated for a major contract in 2009 for the launch of a Bigelow payload aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, originally targeted for 2011. This means Bigelow was involved with US black programs at a time he was also making multi-million dollar deals with Musk. Peter Thiel’s venture capital firm, Founders Fund, also led key funding rounds (starting with a crucial 2008 investment) and now holds a significant stake (around 3.5%) in SpaceX. Surely, we can all trust that Bigelow kept all of his frustrations over the CIA silent in his conversations with Musk, a man Bigelow has expressed tremendous admiration for. Surely, these two men wouldn’t pour millions of dollars into a political effort to influence public opinion and benefit their own companies.

While the public has been led to believe Elon Musk knows nothing about UFOs, a religious professor from North Carolina, Diana Pasulka, has stated publicly that a man named ‘Tim Taylor’ has served as Elon Musk’s intelligence handler on the UFO subject. The public remains in the dark over these claims.

It is also worth noting, in Corbell’s 2019 interview with Rogan, Corbell passionately vouched for the authenticity of the uncorroborated ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes, stating, “So, Admiral Wilson meets with this scientist and they have this discussion — oddly enough, at special projects at EG&G — and if I remember the document is from 2001. I’m telling everybody right now — it’s real. And, we’ll see. My history is pretty good with like, saying if something’s real or not, right?”

For readers asking themselves, “What are the ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes?” Here’s the story: The ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes are a 15 page set of documents that describe a supposed 2002 meeting between Dr. Eric Davis and Vice Admiral Thomas Wilson. According to the story, they met in Wilson’s car near the EG&G Special Projects Building. During the talk, Wilson described his failed 1997 attempt to learn about a highly secret program. At the time, he held a top intelligence job, including Deputy Director for Intelligence for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The program involved reverse-engineering an intact craft “not made by man.” Dr. Davis took detailed notes of what Wilson said, and these notes stayed private for years among a small group of trusted people. They became public in 2019 after they were found in the files of the late Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell.

In a May 17, 2022 House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence’s Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation hearing on UAP, Wisconsin’s then-representative Mike Gallagher submitted the ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes into the official congressional record. Gallagher appeared to not fully understand the notes himself. Gallagher even got Dr. Eric Davis’s name wrong, and bizarrely referred to him as ‘Dr. Eric Wilson’. As the former representative put it, “Okay. This is a document against — again, I am not commenting on veracity; I was hoping you would help me with that — in which a former head of DIA claims to have had a conversation with a Dr. Eric Wilson and claims to have sort of been made aware of certain contractors or DOD programs that he tried to get full access to and was denied access to. So you are not aware of that?”

Within 2 weeks of the “Bel Air” meeting with Thiel (July 24, 2022), Dr. Garry Nolan would appear on Tucker Carlson’s show in August 2022. Here, Nolan revealed that he personally showed Rep. Gallagher the “Wilson-Davis” notes. As Nolan described, “You know, and I actually, briefly — I briefed congressman Gallagher about this issue before he did the congressional hearings on it — about the ‘Wilson-Davis’ memo. And these people are taking it seriously.”

After leaving Congress in 2024, Gallagher joined Palantir Technologies as the head of its defense business, where he is tasked with “identifying contract opportunities and guiding R&D.”

Initiated at the urging of Senator Harry Reid, AAWSAP was a DIA program. It ran from 2007 to 2012.

Readers may be fascinated to learn that Harry Reid’s former National Security Advisor, Jessica Lewis, now works as a lobbyist for Palantir.

Gen. Michael Flynn, who became DIA director in 2012 (the final year of AAWSAP), has recently posted about UFOs on X. In a May 2026 response to a fan’s question about a fake alien invasion, Gen. Flynn stated, “Greer is among the most knowledgable.” For readers unaware, Dr. Steven Greer has claimed that an alien named ‘Bijou’ descended to him from a glowing orb and transmitted messages of peace to him. Greer also claimed that beautiful “interstellar people” have spoken to him in his dreams, and told him to reach the younger generation — “I was told those between 15 and 34, something like that. And it was very specific.” In other words, he is completely full of shit. Gen. Flynn would continue in another post, “This is not a game, this is real life and it must be addressed. IF (big if) there is some serious strategic advantage America gains by having knowledge of a capability or technology that allows us to have an advantage over our adversaries at some level and the President decides that this must be retained as a state secret, so be it.” Curiously, Gen. Flynn’s younger brother, Charles Flynn, currently works as a senior advisor for Palantir.

When I examined the ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes more closely, I found a few alarming details that seem to have been swept under the rug. The notes are extensive and I will probably commit a full article to them in the future, but here are my biggest concerns.

According to the notes, Adm. Wilson became interested in UFO secrecy after private discussions stemming from briefings involving Steven Greer, Edgar Mitchell, and Will Miller (a retired Navy Commander). These touched on UFO crash retrievals and related topics presented to senior Pentagon officials, including Adm. Mike Crawford and Gen. Pat Hughes. Why are these names significant? Will Miller is the grandson of Elton W. Miller, former Director of Aeronautics for NACA (the predecessor of NASA). In previous interviews, Greer has stated he met Miller in 1991 and even called Miller “the most important advisor” to his Disclosure Project. On Carol Rosin’s PeaceInSpace website, Miller’s biography casually mentions that Miller previously served as a Senior Analyst for Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), where he specialized in “future counter-threat planning, directed-energy weapons, space systems, and Navy space war-gaming.”

When I first read about Miller’s SAIC ties, my mind immediately fixated on one name: Bobby Ray Inman.

Admiral Inman served as Director of Naval Intelligence from 1974 to 1976, Vice Director at DIA from 1976 to 1977, Director of the National Security Agency (NSA) from 1977 to 1981, and Deputy Director of Central Intelligence from 1981 to 1982. Inman then transitioned to the private sector, joining SAIC’s board of directors in the 1980s. In 1993, President Bill Clinton nominated Inman as Secretary of Defense, and Inman initially accepted the post. However, in January 1994, Inman shocked many by withdrawing his nomination. Inman would remain with SAIC until 2003. Adm. Inman, age 95, currently serves on the board of directors at Constellis (formerly Blackwater), an association he’s maintained since 2011.

George Knapp: “Yeah, there’s of the guys who was on their board is Bobby Ray Inman, who was a US admiral who retired, and I think he was on their board of directors until 2003. But Inman’s name had been mentioned in UFO circles for a long time as somebody who might have been in the know.”

DeLonge: “Yeah, he was Deputy Director of the CIA for quite some time. You know it’s funny, I was sitting on the plane and next to me was this gentleman that asked me what I was doing, and I was reading some materials on UFOs. This was about ten years ago. And I go, ‘Well, what do you do?’ And he worked for DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. And I said I knew all about DARPA, and I was like, oh my gosh, you guys are — they’re elite engineers. So he starts asking me about UFOs, he was really interested, you know? So I started telling him some of the things that I knew. And I said, you should write some of this down. He said, ‘I already am,’ and grabs a piece of paper and he starts writing down key things. He’s all, ‘Who in the government would know what’s going on with this issue?’ And I said, ‘Do you know who Bobby Ray Inman is?’ He goes, ‘I know him.’ And he’s all, ’So you’re telling me that he’s the guy?’ Apparently he’s worked with him quite a lot in his career, and he was getting off the plane to go call him. I wonder what happened then, right?”

Tom DeLonge, December 2011 Coast to Coast Interview with George Knapp

- - - -

In my previous article, Wernher von Braun used a Psychotronic Device on an American Citizen, I mentioned the fascinating relationship between Behold a Pale Horse author Milton William Cooper and Adm. Bobby Ray Inman. During his time in the Navy, Cooper claimed that he was shown documents revealing the truth about Roswell, aliens, and a variety of other UFO secrets. “Most of this knowledge comes directly from, or is a result of my own research into the TOP SECRET/MAJIC material which I saw and read between the years 1970 and 1973 as a member of the Intelligence Briefing Team of the Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet,” Cooper wrote in his 1991 book. In later presentations, Cooper explained that during this time, he was serving directly under Bobby Ray Inman, who at that time was an officer in Naval Intelligence (Inman eventually became Director of Naval Intelligence and served on the board of Directors of SAIC). When Cooper and Jacques Vallee finally meet and have dinner, as described in Vallee’s Revelations, it quickly becomes apparent that Cooper either does not have his facts straight or was exposed to bad information. Most of his “intel” was wrong and stupid. For these reasons, I personally suspect Cooper was purposefully exposed to counterintelligence information that caused him to spiral into his own personal paranoid hysteria.

Then we have Gen. Patrick Hughes. According to his Military Intelligence Hall of Fame biography, Hughes’ first MI assignment involved returning to Vietnam for one year as a Phoenix Program Advisor. The Phoenix Program was known for employing extreme psychological tactics to break detainees and dismantle the Viet Cong’s political infrastructure. Years later, Hughes went to Korea in 1988 to command the 501st MI Brigade, an INSCOM unit Luis Elizondo would eventually serve early in his career (not under Hughes). In 1996, Hughes became the Director of the DIA.

According to the story, when Adm. Wilson began attempting to find these secret UFO programs, he received guidance from General H. Marshal Ward and former Secretary of Defense William Perry on where to look. At the time of Adm. Wilson’s supposed inquiry (April-June 1997), William Perry was no longer Secretary of Defense (In January 1997, William Cohen took over as Secretary of Defense).

The ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes mention that the suggestion came from Gen. H. Marshal Ward to “go through the records groups files (like an index system) in OUSDAT (Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology)”. Then, as the story goes, Adm. Wilson “ran into Bill Perry” in May 1997 and discussed the topic quietly. The notes continue to say, “They [Perry and Ward] told me of a special projects record group not belonging to usual SAP — a special subset of the unacknowledged/carve-outs/waived programs — not belonging to usual SAP divisions as organized in ‘94 by Perry himself — set apart from rest but buried/covered by conventional SAPS”

Note: In 1994, William Perry’s Deputy Secretary of Defense was a man named John Deutch. Deutch had previously served on the board of directors at SAIC. After Deutch, Perry’s next Deputy was John White. Mr. White was Deputy Secretary of Defense at the time of the ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes. In July 1997, John Hamre (who was comptroller at the time of the ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes) would replace White. In 2013, Mr. Hamre joined SAIC’s board of directors, a position he still holds today.

This part is extremely important.

According to his Air Force biography, at the time of the ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes, Gen. Ward’s role was ‘Director of requirements’ at Air Force Space Command Headquarters, in Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. I found it extremely strange they made no mention of him serving this role. It wasn’t until September 1998 when Gen. Ward would become ‘Director of Special Programs’, Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology. In that role, he served as executive secretary of the Special Access Program Oversight Committee and works directly for the Deputy Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon.

So, to recap, Bill Perry (who was no longer Secretary of Defense) and H. Marshal Ward (who did not yet have jurisdiction over Special Access Programs in May 1997) reportedly told Adm. Wilson to “go through the records groups files in OUSDAT.”

Per the story, Adm. Wilson tried to do exactly that, and reportedly visited two men involved with OUSDAT, Paul Kaminski and Mike Kostelnik (who is referred to as “a Brigadier General”).

Kaminski did indeed serve as Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology from October 1994 to May 1997. A few years later, he became a founding Director of In-Q-Tel. Readers should note: In-Q-Tel — the CIA’s venture capital arm — was an early investor in Palantir, providing around $2 million in seed funding and key access to intelligence customers in the mid-2000s.

Kostelnik, on the other hand, sticks out like a sore thumb when you compare his records to the story in the ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes. According to his Air Force biography, Kostelnik was promoted to the rank of Major General in October 1996, so his description in the notes as a “Brigadier General” was inaccurate. At the supposed time in the ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes (April-May 1997), Kostelnik was no longer working at OUSDAT. His time at OUSDAT actually ended in September 1995. In April 1997, Major General Kostelnik was serving as Vice Commander, Headquarters Air Force Materiel Command, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.

Considering this, I began to suspect the ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes are not authentic, and were carefully written to steer a future investigation away from the actual program. So what do we know about the real program?

In 2016, Tom DeLonge was assembling a team of advisors from classified US programs and planned to disseminate the information he was given to the public through a series of novels, non-fiction books, and media projects. By April of 2016, DeLonge and novelist AJ Hartley had published their first book, SEKRET MACHINES: Chasing Shadows. If we are to believe the information in DeLonge’s novels, the implications are alarming and urgent. In these novels, the SAIC acquisition of Lockheed Martin’s Information Systems and Global Solutions business is mentioned. Besides Blackwater, that acquisition and those involved were the only defense contractors who were called out in Sekret Machines. According to reports, Alex Karp’s former senior counselor at Palantir, Michael Leiter, negotiated this $5 billion transaction.

In his October 2017 appearance on Joe Rogan, Mr. DeLonge went a step further, stating that he thought the craft that crashed at Roswell was German, developed by a surviving enclave of runaway Nazis in Argentina. In DeLonge’s words, “What I believe crashed at Roswell was… I believe it was German — from Argentina. But it had hallmarks and technology based on alien technology. So we put out a story saying “it’s alien!” And then we put out a story saying “it’s a weather balloon!” But the real thing it was, we didn’t want anyone to guess.” According to Edgar Mitchell (who was personal friends with Dr. Wernher von Braun), von Braun was called upon to investigate the 1947 Roswell crash. DeLonge’s nonfiction co-author, Peter Levenda, has also noted that von Braun’s close friend and former manager, General Walter Dornberger (another German Paperclip scientist), was stationed at Wright Field at the time of the supposed July 1947 Roswell crash.

The top advisor to DeLonge’s effort, according to many researchers, was Major General Neil McCasland (who is currently missing). In one of DeLonge’s hacked WikiLeaks emails, the rockstar explained, “When Roswell crashed, they shipped it to the laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. General McCasland was in charge of that exact laboratory up to a couple years ago. He not only knows what I’m trying to achieve, he helped assemble my advisory team. He’s a very important man.”

Perhaps now readers can better understand why the hidden associations and misleading job titles in the ‘Wilson-Davis’ notes are so alarming. Major ties to INSCOM, In-Q-Tel, Wright-Patterson AFB, Blackwater, and SAIC are purposely being glossed over, hidden, or ignored by the most fervent UFO believers.

Outside of the notes, Dr. Eric Davis has described having a personal association with former President George H.W. Bush. His characterization of his relationship with Bush is bizarre. In one of Dr. Vallee’s March 2004 journal entries, Vallee recounted a conversation in which his colleague Hal Puthoff described how their mutual contact Eric — while discussing restarting an AFIO (Association of Former Intelligence Officers) chapter in Las Vegas — spoke by phone with its vice-chairman, former President George H.W. Bush Sr, who reportedly initiated the call. Eric asked Bush whether the advanced materials described in Col. Philip Corso’s revelations might actually have been misidentified Nazi hardware. Bush firmly replied “Impossible,” stating that by 1947 all German secrets had already been fully processed, filed, and kept completely separate from any other topics.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This struck me as odd, because in an earlier (October 2003) entry, Vallee described witnessing “a cold fusion experiment at the Institute for Advanced Studies, and also the last remaining Nazi Shauberger saucer, which EarthTech hasn’t been able to fly.”

In the 2025 documentary, The Age of Disclosure, Davis describes his conversations with Bush further, stating, “I had a few private conversations with former President George Herbert Walker Bush in 2003, in which he told me that when he became the CIA director in the Ford administration, he was not briefed on the legacy UAP crash retrieval program. But he later found out about it, and he informed me that there were a number of crash retrievals that had taken place since the mid 1940s. And he also informed me of a UAP event that took place at Holloman Air Force Base in 1964, where three UAPs approached the Air Force Base — one of them landed on the tarmac — and a non-human entity de-boarded the craft that landed and interacted with uniformed Air Force and civilian CIA personnel. And when he asked for more details, he was told that he did not have a need-to-know.”

Why was a former CIA Director / US President calling a physicist to discuss UFOs?

Readers fascinated with President George H.W. Bush’s ties to the paranormal undoubtedly recall the “Gulf Breeze Six” fiasco of July 1990, in which six US Army military intelligence analysts from the 701st Military Intelligence Brigade (part of INSCOM) at Field Station Augsburg, Germany (the same station whose computers Lyn Buchanan reportedly shut down with his mind) went absent without leave after using a Ouija board since 1989 to receive what they interpreted as spiritual messages about the coming Rapture and end-times apocalypse, leading them to travel to Gulf Breeze, Florida, where they were arrested five days later at the home of a local psychic named Anna Foster. The group Initially faced desertion charges (due to their top-secret clearances) that were reduced to AWOL, and were administratively discharged from the Army within weeks. According to one member of the group, Vance Davis, they were released after then-President George H.W. Bush personally intervened. What the fuck?

It may also interest readers to learn that as Reagan’s Vice President in the 1980s, George H.W. Bush was briefed by DIA official Jack Vorona on the ‘CENTER LANE’ remote viewing program. Dr. Vorona previously served as Deputy Director of Science and Technical Intelligence for the DIA.

Back in 2007, the UFO buffs were bombarded with the CARET hoax. The CARET (Commercial Applications Research for Extraterrestrial Technology) program refers to an alleged secret reverse-engineering effort at the fictional Palo Alto CARET Laboratory, where scientists supposedly worked on extraterrestrial artifacts recovered from UFO crash sites to adapt the tech for commercial or military use. The rumors and documents (including a detailed Q4-86 research report with “alien” symbols and drone photos) started circulating widely in 2007, when an anonymous poster named “Isaac” released them online, linking them to California “dragonfly” UFO sightings that year. Was this an attempt by Silicon Valley at socially engineering the public? And why?

Personally, I suspect the true explanation for all this bizarre activity roots back to President Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Lieutenant General Daniel Graham, who had previously served as Deputy Director of the CIA and Director of DIA in the 1970s, served as Reagan’s military advisor for his 1976 and 1980 campaigns. General Graham promoted the concept of SDI to President Reagan and is considered to be the father of SDI. The ‘High Frontier’ project was a 1981–1982 initiative led by Gen. Graham. It advocated a new US national strategy centered on space-based missile defenses to replace the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) with “Assured Survival,” heavily influencing Reagan’s 1983 Strategic Defense Initiative “Star Wars” speech. ‘High Frontier’ was a project of the Heritage Foundation, which sponsored and published the seminal 1982 report High Frontier: A New National Strategy. The Heritage Foundation — a prominent conservative think tank based in Washington, DC, deeply involved with shaping Republican agendas — is still extremely active. It spearheaded Project 2025, a detailed blueprint for a conservative presidential administration that critics view as an authoritarian push to consolidate executive power, restrict abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, overhaul federal agencies, and enact strict immigration policies — all under the guise of “restoring” American values.

The Gen. Graham example demonstrates that the DIA has had an interest in highly classified, space-related programs for decades, seemingly with the backing of controversial conservative organizations. It should come as no surprise to readers that Robert Bigelow, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel all have recently spent millions of dollars in conservative politics.

On January 27, 2025, the recently re-elected President Trump quietly signed Executive Order 14186, titled ‘The Iron Dome for America,’ which directed the Department of Defense to develop “a next generation missile shield” and directed the Secretary of Defense to begin implementing this new policy. In February 2025, the executive branch redubbed the project “Golden Dome for America.” Lockheed Martin, a key US defense contractor, states on their official website, “Golden Dome for America is a revolutionary concept to further the goals of peace through strength and President Trump’s vision for deterring adversaries from attacks on the homeland.” The article cryptically continues, “This is a Manhattan Project-scale mission, one that is both urgent and crucial to America’s security.”

According to reporter Marco Quiroz-Gutierrez’s May 2025 Fortune article, in two posts on X, Elon Musk denied that SpaceX was involved with Trump’s Golden Dome project. In response to a post promoting the news reported by Reuters, Musk stated, “This is not true.” Quiroz-Gutierrez continued, “Although plans for the missile-defense system are in early stages and may change, the White House is reportedly considering a partnership between SpaceX, Anduril, and Palantir, three companies whose cofounders have previously supported Trump, as frontrunners to build key parts of the system, six sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.”

You read that correct. There’s a major, SDI-caliber, Manhattan Project-level program taking place since January 2025. A blank check to ensure National Security is maintained, made out to the world’s most deranged tech leaders. None of them will tell the truth about their level of involvement.

Have the figureheads of the current UFO “disclosure” push sold us out to these men? Is Trump’s “Golden Dome” project meant to funnel massive contracts to SpaceX and Palantir — the same players whose founders are deeply embedded in the UFO discourse?
