Former U.S. Air Force enlisted geospatial-intelligence analyst (2010-2013) who states he encountered a silent, roughly 100-foot triangular object near Langley Air Force Base in 2011-2013 that interfered with his phone. Filed a complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General and AARO, and testified at a September 2025 House Oversight hearing on UAP whistleblower protections.
Dylan Borland served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force as a '1N1' geospatial-intelligence analyst from 2010 to 2013, later working as a senior imagery analyst for defense contractors BAE Systems and Intrepid Solutions. He states that while stationed at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia he observed a silent, approximately 100-foot triangular craft that produced no detectable sound, wind displacement, or kinetic disturbance, and that interfered with his phone during the encounter. Borland filed his account through the Intelligence Community Inspector General and later with the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. He has said that reporting the incident led to workplace retaliation, including what he describes as manipulation of his security clearance, and that he has been unable to find steady employment since. He gave written and oral testimony at a September 2025 House Oversight Committee hearing on UAP transparency and protections for people who report encounters, part of a broader push by lawmakers for stronger whistleblower protections in this area.
