The whistleblower behind a stunning report submitted to Congress – exposing what he claims is a secret Pentagon program tracking unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) – has now revealed his identity and says he fears for his future in speaking out.
Matthew Brown is a former U.S. national security official who previously served as a Policy Advisor for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, a Technical Advisor for the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security, and a Program Advisor for the Department of State.
He publicly identified himself as the whistleblower in WEAPONIZED Episode 74 – a podcast released Tuesday that is hosted by investigative journalists and UFO experts Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp.
Brown is the author of the Immaculate Constellation Field Report, a document entered into the Congressional Record earlier this year that alleges the Executive Branch has been secretly managing UAP programs for decades – without congressional oversight.
‘This is absolutely what I did not want to do,’ Brown said during the podcast. ‘I am, on a personal level, giving up the future that I made for myself and was going to try to make for a family. My hope is that the stakes are not paid out, but they are life imprisonment and the possibility of execution.’
Brown, who held Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances with a Counterintelligence Scope Polygraph (CI Poly) during his government career, is bound by strict secrecy agreements that carry steep penalties if classified information is improperly disclosed.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Corbell said those fears are not unfounded – even if rarely enforced to the extreme.
‘When you’re in the classified world, you sign your life away,’ Corbell explained. ‘There are serious consequences for leaking national security information – and yes, on paper, that includes life imprisonment or even capital punishment in rare cases tied to espionage.’
