Attorney Names Officials Hiding UFO Evidence From Congress

Constitutional attorney Danny Sheehan, with over five decades of experience on classified government cases including Watergate and Iran-Contra, recently sat down on the Curious Dimension podcast and delivered one of the most detailed breakdowns of UFO secrecy to emerge from the disclosure space in recent months.

Sheehan described what he calls the “legacy group,” a small number of individuals embedded inside the CIA’s Operations Directorate, the Division on Science and Technology, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence who control what UFO information reaches the public. 

He named Stephanie O’Sullivan, who served as Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence under James Clapper from 2011 to 2017, retired Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, now 94, and the late former Vice President Dick Cheney as figures connected to this structure. According to Sheehan, his office tracked Cheney to an abandoned naval air station in Texas, secured by Blackwater private security, where he claims Cheney exercised authority over UFO-related programs outside any official government role.

Sheehan also made striking claims about the recovered craft themselves, stating they contain biological components such as neurons, synapses, and dendrites integrated into their structure. He described the craft as semi-sentient, semi-organic, and telepathically controlled. He argued that civilizations with billions of years of development beyond our own would have long mastered bioengineering at levels humanity is only beginning to explore.

One of the lesser-known revelations from the interview involves what Sheehan describes as two opposing factions inside the Pentagon. The first is the legacy group, which he says has its own controlled disclosure schedule, slowly releasing select UFO information for reasons they will not explain. The second faction, which he refers to as the Collins Elite, is a network of high-ranking Pentagon officials who believe the UFO phenomenon is demonic and want all information permanently buried. According to Sheehan, Dr. Eric Davis was physically confronted by a member of this group in the Pentagon hallways and told his work on UFOs was satanic. Lue Elizondo has publicly described similar encounters, and Congressman Tim Burchett has referenced being warned against pursuing the subject.

On the congressional front, Sheehan referenced an exchange between Congressman Eric Burlison and Elizondo in which Elizondo confirmed he would not be authorized to provide definitive proof of recovered non-human craft even inside a SCIF. As reported by Liberation Times, Burlison has expressed frustration over how tightly the intelligence community guards this material. Sheehan also detailed how private aerospace companies ended up holding recovered UFO technology, operating under tacit agreements with the government because they cannot file patents without triggering public disclosure. He says these companies funnel campaign contributions to key committee chairs to block transparency legislation, including the UAP Disclosure Act.
