New UFO whistleblower Jason Sands, explained

We have to keep finding new UFO whistleblowers because each proves to be more disappointing than the last.

If you are unfortunate to have UFO news thrust at you on a daily basis, you may have heard that there’s a “new” UFO whistleblower, a guy named Jason Sands. This news is already a few weeks old, but since almost no information was available at first, I figured I’d let it percolate for a bit. Here’s my post-percolation assessment.

The previous “whistleblower”, David Grusch, turned out to be a huge disappointment to the UFO community. All he knew were a few famous old UFO stories that he’d heard from friends, and when asked about it officially, he refused to be interviewed. And the stories he told were those that experienced historians of UFO mythology had long known to have been hoaxes.

So the UFO community moved on down the line to the next guy. This is Jason Sands, a retired Air Force veteran. He served from 1985 to 2007, first in aircraft structural maintenance, then for the majority of his career in 1N671 Electronic System Security Assessment, finally retiring with the rank of MSgt.

Would a MSgt working in “Electronic System Security Assessment” have access to the government’s most secret information about alien visitors? The job’s description is:

Emulates the role of a hostile intelligence service (HOIS) by collecting, analyzing, and processing Department of Defense (DoD) telecommunications, such as: telephone, computer-to-computer (C2C), facsimile, radio, and wireless transmissions. Applies analytical processes and determines critical information potentially compromised and exploited by HOIS threats. Peacetime support focuses on identifying adverse operations security (OPSEC) trends and practices. Contingency and exercise support focuses on force protection. Supervises Electronic System Security Assessment (ESSA) operations, including initial and in-depth analysis of monitored friendly telecommunications. Performs analysis and reporting functions at theater level ESSA Centrals (ESSAC). Briefs commanders at all levels of potential intelligence vulnerabilities.

So that’s the guy (thank you for your service, MSgt Sands). What’s his connection with the whole UFO movement? Well, UFO filmmaker James Fox — whose films to date have dramatized and rehashed long-debunked UFO stories — says he’s making a movie that will feature Sands, to be released later this year and titled The Program. Fox wrote on Twitter:

James Fox here — those who know me or are familiar with my work know I fiercely go the extra mile to weed out unsupportable claims. (LOL - BD) I have spent the last year conducting numerous interviews, researching claims and doing my best to verify (within my means) peoples’ credentials and the veracity of their statements. As part of this mix, I met with Mr. Jayson Sands a little over a year ago, concerning whom there has arisen fierce debates on social media concerning his claims of official involvement in the UAP area and specific experiences associated with such. As part of my due diligence I can state that he is who he says he is, has served in the military and is willing to testify under oath and even take a polygraph test regarding his claims. Nonetheless, as with other Whistleblowers who go public, this doesn’t mean that what he has stated shouldn’t be questioned regarding apparent inconsistencies and difficult-to-resolve claims. Evaluation of such continues to be a work in progress.

So on to these incredible secrets Sands claims to know. You can get the comprehensive list in this 5-hour (!!!) podcast. But if you, like me, lack the patience to give him 5 hours of your life, here’s an AI-generated summary of it. Some key points:

• He believes the Wilson-Davis memo is genuine. This is an obviously hoaxed, ridiculous document purporting to be 2002 discourse between Admiral Thomas Wilson and Skinwalker Ranch ghost hunter Eric Davis, and other characters.

• Most alien spacecraft recovered use electromagnetic propulsion.

• Aliens participated, though reluctantly, in these reverse engineering programs.

• Many UFO reports of “metallic spheres” are in fact alien spacecraft, and he knows all about them, including the various types and their purposes.

• There is a blue alien species and we can communicate telepathically with them.

• Some aliens are non-physical and can help us with our intelligence programs.

• Private industry and the government cooperate to suppress information about UFOs.

• Underground bases where we keep aliens, time travel, remote viewing, aliens as spiritual trans-dimensional beings — yeah all that stuff is real.

Sands also claimed to have been part of the US Navy’s short-lived UAP Task Force, but then quickly told New York Post’s Steven Greenstreet that he hadn’t actually:

As is the case with nearly every veteran who “comes forward” to reveal the classified information he knows about aliens, Sands doesn’t seem to have run into any trouble violating DoD confidentiality protocols. Why not? As Lt. Col. Hal Bidlack (ret.) explained in The UFO Movie when I asked him about another UFOlogist who has spoken freely on podcasts about his experiences:

“…It tells you that the Air Force doesn't care, which strongly suggests that it’s fiction. And as we know, fiction isn't classified.”

I expect the James Fox movie, should it materialize, will give the Alien Truther community everything they want. It will confirm all their wishes, and will probably earn a nice chunk of dough.

And then it will be quickly forgotten as nothing in it will hold up, and we’ll be on to the next whistleblower.
