The UAP disclosure movement has been driven by a small but credentialed group of individuals — military pilots, intelligence officers, defense officials, journalists, and lawmakers — who have risked their careers and reputations to bring government UAP programs into public view. This database profiles the key figures: who they are, what they witnessed or disclosed, and why it matters.
The profiles below span the full spectrum of UAP disclosure: from military witnesses like David Fravor and Ryan Graves who encountered unexplained objects during active service, to intelligence insiders like David Grusch and Luis Elizondo who blew the whistle on classified programs, to senior officials like Christopher Mellon and Admiral Tim Gallaudet who translated insider knowledge into public advocacy. Each profile includes a full biography, key disclosures, congressional testimony where applicable, and a structured FAQ.
