The UAP Story The Daily Mail Quietly Deleted

A detailed investigative article alleging CIA involvement in UAP crash retrieval operations has been quietly removed from the Daily Mail, one of the largest news outlets in the world — with no correction issued, no contact made with its authors, and no explanation given.

The piece, co-written by journalist Chris Sharp alongside Josh Boswell and researcher Matt Ford, laid out how the CIA’s Office of Global Access, known as the OGA, was allegedly linked to UAP crash retrieval operations. According to Sharp, the article detailed which agencies were involved, how they coordinated, and how the OGA — built specifically to access assets in hostile or remote locations — fit into that structure. Sharp noted publicly that the structural specificity of the article, naming who, where, and how programs connect, appeared to be what distinguished it from similar reporting that remained online.

Sharp described a pattern of pressure that began the day the original OGA article was published. According to Sharp, co-author Matt Ford was approached by a stranger in Las Vegas in what Sharp described as a threatening encounter. That same day, Sharp says his computer lost internet access on a single device while all others in his home remained connected. His internet provider could not explain it, and he eventually had to replace the machine. The night he publicly discussed the article’s removal, Sharp reported that someone was actively attempting to access his email remotely in real time.

He was not alone in describing this kind of pressure. According to public statements, Jeffrey Nuccetelli, who testified before Congress in September 2025 regarding the then Vandenberg Air Force Base case, reported that his home had been broken into in the days before his testimony and viewed it as a direct message.

Sharp’s broader analysis connects these developments to a network of politically positioned figures. According to Sharp, Peter Thiel — who made one of the largest campaign donations in history to JD Vance during his Senate race — has placed associates in key government roles. Vance previously worked for Thiel. Sharp also pointed to Michael Kratsios, a former Thiel chief of staff now serving as a science advisor to the president, and traced that advisory role historically to the Vannevar Bush era — the same period when the classification architecture around sensitive technology programs was first constructed. Sharp’s argument is that a deliberate network with specific interest in UAP-related technology is being positioned for access.

On the question of AARO, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office established by Congress to investigate UAP incidents, Sharp’s assessment gathered from multiple sources is that the office was structurally compromised from its inception. According to Sharp, Chris Mellon and Lue Elizondo have both stated publicly that AARO should never have been placed under the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (run by Ronald Moultrie chief of the the AOIMSG) — the very body responsible for protecting the most sensitive classified programs in the defense structure. Sharp described sources telling him it would be “a death by a thousand cuts.” He also referenced a separate interview he conducted with Tim Phillips, a former acting head of AARO, who described approximately 50 cases that could not be attributed to any known human technology, adversary or American.

According to Sharp, the pressure toward disclosure may not be coming from Capitol Hill. His sources suggest China may be making breakthroughs in exotic engineering — and that the U.S. may be seeing capabilities emerging from China that suggest a breakthrough has already occurred or is imminent. Sharp stated he was told that acknowledging the existence of retrieved craft is no longer the strategic liability it once was, since concealing their basic existence while adversaries may be studying the same materials only narrows whatever advantage the U.S. holds. What remains worth protecting, per his sources, is derived technology from reverse engineering efforts — not the craft themselves.
