Former U.S. Air Force geospatial intelligence specialist and federal whistleblower who has become a public witness in the modern UAP disclosure movement.
Biography
Dylan Borland has described himself as a former U.S. Air Force 1N1 geospatial intelligence specialist who served on active duty from 2010 to 2013 and later worked as an intelligence contractor and analyst. He entered the public UAP record most clearly through sworn written and oral testimony submitted to the House Oversight Committee in September 2025.
His profile should distinguish between the parts of his professional history that can be checked through service and employment records and the more serious UAP allegations that currently rely largely on his own testimony.
Role in the UAP Topic
Borland says he personally witnessed a large triangular object near Langley Air Force Base in the summer of 2012. He also alleges that later intelligence work exposed him to information concerning a classified legacy UAP retrieval programme and that his efforts to report what he knew contributed to professional retaliation.
On 9 September 2025 he testified before the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets at a hearing focused on UAP transparency and whistleblower protection.
Credentials
- Air Force geospatial intelligence serviceReported in sworn testimony; independently checkable
His written statement identifies his specialty and period of service.
- Later intelligencecontracting work — Reported with named employers in testimony
These details should be independently checked against employment or government records where possible.
- Access to a legacy UAP programmeAlleged, not publicly verified
His résumé may establish intelligence access generally, but it does not establish access to the specific programme he describes.
Claims and Evidence
- A large triangular craft appeared near Langley AFB in 2012
Borland says he saw an approximately 100-foot equilateral triangular object at close distance, describing it as silent, unusual in appearance and capable of rapid departure. He also reports interference with his mobile phone during the event.
Critical notes
- His sworn testimony establishes that he has publicly made the claim under oath. It does not provide publicly examinable imagery, sensor data, contemporaneous incident records or independent witness testimony sufficient to establish the object's reported size, distance or performance.
- He later encountered information about a classified UAP legacy programme
Borland says his later intelligence work brought him into contact with information associated with UAP retrieval activity.
Critical notes
- This is the stronger proposition and requires correspondingly stronger evidence. The public hearing record does not itself reveal the programme documentation, access records or independently identified programme participants needed to verify it.
- He experienced professional retaliation after raising UAP concerns
Borland described career consequences and difficulty obtaining redress.
Critical notes
- Retaliation claims can often be tested through personnel actions, complaint records, security-clearance files and inspector-general documentation. Those records should be sought separately rather than inferred from the UAP claim itself.
