Dylan Borland details AARO and ODNI retaliation claims
US Air Force veteran Dylan Borland has detailed claims of systematic retaliation by AARO and ODNI, including accusations of treason, clearance manipulation, and physical sabotage.
On June 6, U.S. Air Force veteran Dylan Borland detailed specific claims of systematic retaliation and threats by AARO, ODNI, and other federal agencies following his official UAP disclosures.
Borland, a former USAF geospatial intelligence analyst who testified before Congress in September 2025 about his 2012 Langley AFB triangular UAP sighting, described a decade of reprisal. His latest public disclosures outline administrative pressure, security clearance manipulation, polygraph abuse, and physical sabotage.
Treason accusations and clearance holds
According to Borland, federal officials falsified classified information and lied to the government to accuse him of treason. "Want to know what my life is like? For the rest of my life, that will be hanging over my head," Borland stated. "The statute of limitations for treason is for life."
He also claimed his security clearances were manipulated to block employment. A day before his video interview with journalists George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell, Borland discovered his clearance had been placed in "undefined" status. He also alleged that during a counterintelligence polygraph in November 2024 for an unrelated position, examiners attempted to pressure him into revealing protected disclosures made in his August 2023 Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) complaint.
Borland described his ICIG interview as a "fishing expedition" to assess how much he knew, rather than a genuine investigation.
Doxing and physical sabotage
The retaliation claims extend beyond administrative pressure. Borland stated his home was doxed, with photos of the interior posted online, and his wife received threats.
Jeremy Corbell revealed on the Weaponized podcast that the brake lines on Borland's truck were cut, causing a crash that Borland survived. A police report was filed regarding the incident. Borland has also been blacklisted from federal intelligence employment, leading to economic ruin, and he experienced medical malpractice by Veterans Affairs (VA) staff.
The AARO referral
Borland's friction with AARO dates back to a late March 2023 meeting. He stated he withheld specific details on sources and methods because he believed AARO's public reporting was a misrepresentation of the UAP reality. Furthermore, AARO's Memorandum for Record (MFR) of the meeting improperly exposed the identity of the former staff member who had directed Borland to come forward.
Neither AARO nor ODNI has issued a public statement regarding Borland's latest disclosures. The claims highlight the ongoing conflict between whistleblowers and official agencies as Congress prepares for the June 9 Capitol steps transparency address.
