UFO Witness Says ODNI Ran Operation To Destroy Him

Former State Department analyst and UAP whistleblower Matthew Brown returned to the Weaponized podcast with George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell for his first on-camera update in nine months — and what he described represents a significant escalation in the effort to silence UAP disclosure witnesses.

According to Brown, following the September 2025 congressional UAP hearing where military witnesses including Dylan Borland testified under oath, he was invited to Liberty Crossing, a major intelligence campus in the Washington D.C. area operated by ODNI — the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the body that oversees every U.S. intelligence agency. Brown was told his clearances were active, the meeting would be fully protected, and a formal UAP whistleblower protection program would be offered. None of that materialized.

According to Brown, the program was never mentioned, never offered, and no paperwork was presented.

Within three weeks of the meeting, ODNI reportedly characterized Brown to Corbell and Knapp as having fabricated the Immaculate Constellation discovery entirely, as engaging in counter-intelligence activity — with the word treason reportedly used — and as holding antisemitic views, drawn from concerns Brown raised about intelligence related to the October 7th attack on Israel. Brown addressed each allegation directly on camera, noting his family has confirmed Jewish ancestry through DNA testing, and that he never disclosed to ODNI which personal position he held on October 7th.

Corbell stated that the true purpose of ODNI’s UFO initiative under Director Tulsi Gabbard — which he said was not Gabbard’s intent — was to run an influence campaign against UAP witnesses in order to pressure Congress to abandon the UAP issue entirely, naming figures including David Grusch and Lue Elizondo as targets. Corbell called it an intelligence operation run by the U.S. intelligence community against the U.S. Congress.

Brown also brought documentation to that ODNI meeting of a coordinated harassment network currently targeting UAP witnesses and their families. Per Brown’s account active duty and reserve military personnel with current security clearances are running these operations on government time from government computers, with Office of Special Investigations agents reportedly sent to break apart the families of people who quietly assisted witnesses — individuals who never spoke publicly or testified.

Brown identified a specific individual he described as the central coordinator of that network, currently positioned as Deputy SAPCO — Special Access Program Coordinator — for DARPA at Northrop Grumman. George Knapp independently verified the individual’s connection to legacy program security through separate source channels. Brown also submitted a list of 42 connected names and companies to his ODNI contact. He received zero response on any of it.

In response, Brown and Dylan Borland have launched a nonprofit specifically designed to pursue UAP disclosure through the court system — filing lawsuits to compel responses on the public record where Congress has stalled and the executive branch has controlled its own narrative. The organization will also provide direct support to UAP witnesses, a gap Brown described as completely unfilled.
