Who is Dylan Borland?

Dylan Borland is a former United States Air Force 1N1 geospatial intelligence specialist, from about 2010 to 2013, and he was stationed at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia.

After active duty, Dylan Borland also worked for defense contractors like BAE Systems and Intrepid Solutions as a senior analyst, focusing on video, radar, and electro-optical imagery.

Dylan Borland - UFO Whistleblower and Hero

However, most significantly, Dylan Borland is a UFO whistleblower and a hero for being courageous in bringing to light a major UFO sighting, and evidence of the legacy UFO program. He has testified under oath to governmental bodies including the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), and recently in a UFO Congressional Hearing.

Dylan Borland has made several claims related to the UFO phenomena, with quite specific detail in at least one encounter that he shared at the UFO hearing in September of 2025, that occurred at Langley Air Force base in the summer of 2012.

Around 1:30 a.m., while Dylan was stationed at Langley Air Force Base, he was on a cigarette break on the base, when he saw a white light emerge near the NASA hangar across the flight line, and the light then flew toward him rapidly. Suddenly, a large equilateral triangular shaped UFO craft “manifested” around the light, and was there hovering in the air near Dylan, leaving him absolutely stunned and in disbelief.

The UFO triangle was roughly 100 feet long and came to within about 100 feet in front of Dylan, and about 100 feet above him. His phone overheated and froze. He sensed static electricity, and smelled something like after a thunderstorm, possibly an ozone smell. The UFO craft had a black metallic-flake paint on its surface, and over it was some sort of gold-plasma “lava” fluid flowing over or around it the craft. The craft also had a light at each corner and a center light in the middle that was larger than the corner lights.

Black Triangle UFO Representation seen by Dylan Borland at Langley Air Force Base

Dylan was underneath the UFO triangle for about 2 to 3 minutes. The triangle then flashed its center light 2 to 3 times, and shot upward to commercial jet level altitude in seconds. It made no sound, and produced no perceptible wind or other kinetic disturbance. Dylan was in awe of what he had just seen.

Dylan Borland claims that later in his career, after the UFO triangle incident at Langely Air Force Base, he was exposed to classified information via a Special Access Program, also known as a SAP, which was associated with UAP legacy crash retrieval programs. He says intelligence officers reached out to him, citing misconduct in those legacy programs, and expressing fear for their own careers. He says it was very lonely for him and for the other people involved in the legacy programs, and they were in fear for their lives and careers.

According to Dylan Borland, because of what he witnessed and what he reported, there have been career obstacles for him. He says his career was deliberately obstructed, he has also been black-listed from certain agencies in the intelligence community, denied employment and his clearance, had documents manipulated, faced harassment, medical issues, and even an attempt on his life where the brake lines on his car were cut.

Dylan filed a complaint with the ICIG in August 2023, after earlier disclosures, including disclosures made by David Grusch, triggered more visibility of UAP programs.

Dylan Borland also gave written and oral testimony under oath in a UFO hearing held by the House Oversight Subcommittee, in a task force hearing on “UAP transparency and whistleblower protection.”

The triangular UFO craft that Dylan Borland describes is a kind of UAP that has often been reported in other UFO accounts, and lends credibility to his account. What he reports about this UFO triangle has some features that are especially unusual including:

• Very large (100 feet) and coming very close (100 feet) without warning.
  

• No sound, no wind displacement, no sonic boom, even though acceleration to high altitude was rapid.
  

• Material that seems dynamic which was a part solid surface, part fluid or plasma covering.
  

• Physical effects like his phone overheating and freezing, some atmospheric smell, and static electricity, which suggest the UFO craft had measurable environmental effects.
  

These features make the claimed UFO sighting more than just a light or ambiguous object, it implies something with extremely advanced behavior, probably technology not matching known aircraft or drones. It could have easily been an alien reproduction vehicle or even an actual alien craft.

If Dylan Borland’s claims are validated, they have several major implications:

• Evidence of UFO craft with advanced, possibly non-conventional physics: If the material is fluid or plasma, or if there is zero kinetic disturbance yet high acceleration, that suggests technology beyond standard aerospace.
  

• Existence of secret legacy programs involving UFO crash retrieval, reverse engineering, possibly with classified materials and projects that haven’t been subject to public or congressional oversight.
  

• Whistleblower protection issues: Dylan Borland alleges systemic retaliation, blacklisting, and career damage. His case raises serious questions about how UAP witnesses are treated by military and intelligence agencies, and how much transparency exists.
  

• Public / Governmental scrutiny: His testimony comes at a time of increasing congressional hearings on UFOs in the United States government, and more public interest in UFO disclosure and oversight.

Why Dylan Borland’s Testimony is Significant

Dylan's testimony adds to a growing number of military, intelligence, and veteran firsthand accounts in recent years of UFOs, which makes the UFO issue much more prominent and less fringe than it used to be in the past. The details of his account are much more compelling than many other “lights in sky” reports, which may help in developing hypotheses, research, and possibly investigations into what UFOs truly are, and how we can disseminate that information to everyone.

Finally, it also helps put pressure on UFO transparency, which will be a push toward oversight, declassification, protections for whistleblowers, and perhaps disclosure of UAP programs.

It shifts the UFO conversation significantly to not just whether UFOs exist, but what kind of technology is involved with these strange craft, what governments know about UFOs, how they treat those with knowledge of UFOs, and the level of accountability that is required.

We must all work together to support Dylan Borland. He is a true hero and is very courageous for coming forward with this testimony. He has sacrificed everything in his life to bring these revelations to light.
