And I’ve seen this evidence with my own two eyes,” he said. “I am prepared to provide a full historical accounting to the National Security Council . . . and the White House Chief of Staff and make any supporting public statements that are authorized.” (Open a slideshow of all 5 article images.) (David Grusch speaking at a news conference on Capitol Hill.)  5     David Grusch told the president he is “ready to go” and prepared to reveal what he knows from his intelligence career to the American public. REUTERS   Dylan Borland, an Air Force veteran, testified to Congress in 2024 that he witnessed a (https://nypost.com/2026/08/08/us-news/ufo-over-colorado-base-in-video-air-force-wont-share-sources/) massive triangular UFO hovering and maneuvering over a NASA hangar for several minutes before it zoomed off into the sky in the flash of an eye. He wants to come forward and share his full story with the public — but warned he and his compatriots would need direct approval from Trump to share any corroborating classified evidence. “Disclosure has to come from [President Trump]. He needs to rip the Band-Aid off himself and needs to go out there and confirm we’re not alone. We’ve recovered materials and entities — biologics,”  Borland told The Post. Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), who supports the group of whistleblowers, lauded the administration and stated Trump has the chance to be the most consequential leader in modern times.

Eric Burlison (R-MO) voiced support for the administration and is a staunch ally of the UFO whistleblowers. CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images   “He’s already demonstrated that he’s willing to be more transparent to the American people than any president in American history,” Burlison told The Post.   “Each of these tranches of releases we have had — even just one of the documents in one of the tranches — would’ve been a monumental moment in UAP history prior to the Trump administration.” The administration announced a new legal waiver allowing current and former government personnel to report UFO and alien-related information to the federal government — but only through the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, not for disclosure to the public.  Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who chairs the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, said her focus has been on protecting whistleblowers rather than pushing for public release. “Heading up the Declass Task Force I quickly discovered a lot of these whistleblowers were scared to go public in fear of retribution, so I made efforts to secure whistleblower protections as a top priority,” she told The Post. “We are hoping with these new measures in place in people will feel safer to come forward.”  Filed under (https://nypost.com/tag/aliens/) aliens   (https://nypost.com/tag/congress/) congress   (https://nypost.com/tag/donald-trump/) donald trump   (https://nypost.com/tag/the-pentagon/) the pentagon   (https://nypost.com/tag/ufos/) ufos   (https://nypost.com/tag/whistleblowers/) whistleblowers   (https://nypost.com/tag/white-house/) white house   (https://nypost.com/2026/09/19/) 9/19/26    (https://nypost.com/2026/09/19/us-news/republican-control-of-house-senate-odds-fade-on-trump-backlash/) Read Next  (https://nypost.com/2026/09/19/us-news/republican-control-of-house-senate-odds-fade-on-trump-backlash/) GOP control of House, Senate odds fade as Trump backlash b...
