Look, man, if you took two guesses, you'd get both of them right on the first try.

We were running operations, let's say, more attuned for the UAP.

A recovery team was sent and we found the Toughbooks.

I'm not going to say where, and we returned them to our employer.

The Toughbooks were missing the hard drives.

We then set out to recover the hard drives.

Our human asset led us to another location high in the Sierras, which was a glacier lake, and the hard drives were sealed in a steel container like 25 feet underwater.

The next mission we went out on, I'll just tell you that shots were fired and we called bullshit.

And that's when we began to backtrack and set out with our guns.

our own effort to find out exactly who we were working for and what they were interested in.

The plausible deniability button that people at the top can hit in order to protect themselves,

Don't even fucking blink, bro.

Tally two.

We were actually sent there on behalf of our employer to look for whistleblowers that we were trying to basically report to the FBI and get arrested because at that time I was in this weird place between becoming a whistleblower or

rounding up the whistleblowers and shutting them off.

In 2009, my unit, which was the most decorated infantry battalion in the entire Marine Corps, which was 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines,

was called in to do humanitarian assistance operations out in the Philippines, which was Operation Kitsana.

And right there was something that stuck out like a sore thumb, especially with jungle terrain, things like that junk, you know, vegetation, very green stuff was something that stuck out so well.

It's always going to be basically imprisoned in my mind for the rest of my life.

And it has been for 14 years was something that was rotating and it was transitioning between colors like a light matte gray, as well as a dark matte black.
