Randy Anderson

Whistleblower, American

Green Beret whistleblower who disclosed witnessing extraterrestrial technology at a classified Navy facility in 2014

Military Background

Randy Anderson is a decorated United States Army Green Beret who served as an 18 Bravo (weapons sergeant) with Special Forces. His military credentials include successful completion of SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) training and qualification as a Special Forces operator. Military documentation, including his DD214 discharge papers and weapons training certificates from Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane, verify his service record and clearance level for access to classified facilities.

The March 2014 NSWC Crane Incident

In March 2014, Anderson was taken to an underground secure compartmentalized information facility (SCIF) at Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane in Crane, Indiana. The facility was labeled "Off World Technology Division." According to Anderson's account, he witnessed two objects that he was explicitly told were not of human manufacture and were classified as weapons due to their energetic output.

The first object was a metallic orb approximately basketball-sized with an indentation on top. Anderson described it as levitating above a podium in the secure facility. The second was described as a "gauntlet"—a clear, tablet-like device that projected holographic symbology resembling hieroglyphic text. According to Anderson's testimony, this second device was recovered from a recovered craft and allegedly killed the person who initially attempted to retrieve it due to its energetic discharge.

Facility Role and Aerospace Recovery

Anderson's testimony suggests that NSWC Crane operates as the Naval equivalent to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio—a reverse-engineering and analysis center for recovered aerospace technology. The distinction between Air Force (Wright-Patterson) and Navy (NSWC Crane) facilities aligns with the compartmentalization and specialization typical of classified aerospace programs.

Public Disclosure and Emergence as a Whistleblower

Anderson remained silent about the 2014 incident for over a decade. In early 2025, he publicly disclosed his experience on Jesse Michels' "American Alchemy" podcast, which has emerged as a leading platform for mainstream UAP disclosure journalism. This marked a significant moment in the 2025-2026 disclosure wave—a first-hand military witness with documented credentials publicly attesting to firsthand contact with non-human technology within an active U.S. Naval facility.

His disclosure comes amid the broader 2025-2026 transparency era, including Aaron Lukas' July 2026 PURSUE authorization release, National Press Club disclosures, and Congressional UAP briefings that have progressively declassified information about government programs and alleged recovered technology.

Additional Testimony

Anderson has also claimed continued engagement with classified aerospace programs, including occasional contract work at Area 51. He has described witnessing "electrogravitic" antigravity craft of triangular configuration operating at the test site, consistent with other testimony regarding advanced aerospace vehicles derived from or informed by recovered non-human technology.

Assessment

Anderson's emergence as a whistleblower in 2025 represents the latest wave of military and government insiders disclosing classified information within an increasingly permissive disclosure environment. His testimony is notable for specificity of location, date, and technical description, as well as his willingness to provide military documentation for verification. However, his claims remain unconfirmed by official Navy statements or independent corroboration, and NSWC Crane has not publicly acknowledged the existence of an "Off World Technology" division.

Notable claims

  • Witnessed a levitating metallic orb in a classified Naval facility labeled "Off World Technology Division"
  • Saw a "gauntlet" device projecting holographic hieroglyphic symbology, allegedly recovered from a spacecraft
  • Claims NSWC Crane operates as the Navy's reverse-engineering center for recovered non-human technology
  • Has provided military service documentation (DD214, training certificates) for verification
  • Continues to work on classified aerospace projects at Area 51
