Chaz King

Military Service & Assignment

Chaz King is a retired officer from the U.S. Air Force Security Forces, the branch responsible for protecting critical military installations, personnel, and assets. He served as a security officer at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, one of the most strategically sensitive military facilities in the United States. Vandenberg's primary mission involves space launches and missile operations, making the base's security protocols among the most stringent in the armed forces.

The 2003 Vandenberg Incidents

Between 2003 and 2005, Vandenberg Space Force Base became the site of a series of unexplained aerial phenomena incidents that would remain largely classified for over two decades. King was among the security personnel on duty during these encounters. The most significant incident occurred on October 14, 2003, when Boeing contractors reported a massive, glowing red square silently hovering over two missile defense sites on the base. According to King's accounts, the object displayed characteristics that defied conventional explanation: it had no visible propulsion system, no windows, and was colored matte black. Most striking was its departure behavior—witnesses reported it shot off at extremely high speed up the California coast.

These incidents are particularly significant because they occurred while Vandenberg was conducting space launches that the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) classified as "the most important in twenty-five years." The timing and location suggest potential correlation between strategic military operations and UAP activity, a pattern documented in other military encounters throughout UAP history.

Public Disclosure & Documentary Testimony

For more than two decades, King remained silent about his experiences, bound by military security protocols and possibly the Espionage Act. The landscape of UAP disclosure shifted dramatically beginning in 2017, when the Pentagon acknowledged the existence of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), and accelerated through 2023-2025 as more military personnel began public testimony before Congress. In 2025, King joined other Vandenberg witnesses in breaking his silence.

King's public disclosure came through his appearance in The Age of Disclosure, a documentary directed by Dan Farah released in November 2025. The film premiered in theaters and on Amazon Prime and features testimony from 34 government insiders, including Senator Marco Rubio, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former Pentagon intelligence official Luis Elizondo. King appeared alongside fellow Vandenberg witness Jeffrey Nuccetelli, a former Military Police officer, both recounting their experiences from the 2003-2005 period with greater detail than had previously been disclosed publicly.

Significance in the Disclosure Movement

King represents a critical category of UAP witness: the government-insider with direct responsibility for military security who observed unexplained phenomena firsthand. Unlike civilian witnesses or even military pilots, security forces personnel occupy a unique position of authority—their job is to protect military installations and distinguish between authorized and unauthorized activities. Their testimony carries particular weight because it comes from individuals trained to recognize normal military operations, security tests, and foreign surveillance, yet they witnessed phenomena that defied these categories.

The documentary context is significant. The Age of Disclosure was explicitly framed by its participants as addressing what they characterize as an 80-year government cover-up of non-human intelligence. The inclusion of Rubio and Clapper—figures with deep connections to intelligence and national security apparatus—alongside military witnesses like King suggested a coordinated effort to normalize UAP disclosure within official and public spheres. This represented a marked shift from the 1950s-1990s era of institutional denial and ridicule, toward a 2020s-era acknowledgment that credible military and government personnel have documented genuine anomalies.

Current Status

As of 2026, King remains publicly associated with UAP disclosure efforts through his documentary work. His testimony from The Age of Disclosure continues to circulate in disclosure advocacy communities. Like other post-2017 military whistleblowers, he exemplifies a generation of security professionals willing to challenge official narratives about what occurred at sensitive installations under their watch.
