PROJECT PRESERVE DESTINY: NSA/USAF Programme for Alien Communication — Jesse Michels Breaks Major Whistleblower Story

Dan Sherman — USAF Staff Sergeant, ELINT specialist, 12-year service at Fort Meade and Offutt AFB — claims recruitment into a classified NSA grey program in the early 1990s as an “intuitive communicator” to receive and relay transmissions from non-human intelligences. Jesse Michels (American Alchemy) conducted the comprehensive clearing-house interview in 2025. FOIA CONFIRMATION: NSA 1998 FOIA log (case #11716) shows a request filed for “UFO — Project Preserve Destiny” — logged as “Admin Closure.” When independent researcher Noah Hradek FOIA’d the Air Force, they forwarded it to the NSA stating it “falls under the purview of the NSA.” NSA issued a GLOMAR RESPONSE — citing Executive Order 13526, refusing to confirm or deny. Their exact language: “the acknowledgment of the possible existence of such a program is classified.” That is not a denial. STRUCTURAL CONTEXT: The 1991 DoD Inspector General inspection of NSA concluded the agency “does not effectively monitor the Special Access Programs it operates or supports” — the exact bureaucratic gap that allows PPD to exist without oversight. Classification: nested inside a USAF SAP, operating under NSA’s Very Restricted Knowledge (VRK) system — a sub-control system for SIGINT activities invisible to standard oversight. Sherman’s military records are verified. Noise Cancellation Technologies (NCT) in Linthicum, Maryland had multiple DARPA contracts during Sherman’s training period. The Air Force forwarding a PPD request to the NSA is the strongest corroboration of the program’s existence available in the public record.
