Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) is a $7+ billion defence contractor that appears scrubbed clean on its own website. What its website won’t tell you is documented in congressional testimony: SAIC is named as a “crown jewel” with direct crossover to the UAP control group, millions in contracts with no documentation, and a board member who bridged the NSA, CIA, and MAJIC.
The source is not a conspiracy website. It is the November 2024 congressional testimony of Michael Shellenberger to the House Oversight Committee’s Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation — a formally submitted document now in the public record.
Bobby Ray Inman — The Bridge Node
The testimony explicitly states: “crossover between Bobby Ray Inman in SAIC and MAJIC.” Bobby Ray Inman served as Director of the National Security Agency, Deputy Director of the CIA, and sat on SAIC’s board of directors — simultaneously. He was also the connection used by UAP researcher Robert Oechsler to reach Admiral Sumner Shapiro, former Director of Naval Intelligence, under the pretext of accessing the “group” that manages UAP information.
SAIC and the private security firm Wackenhut are explicitly linked in the testimony as the two companies most connected to secretive UAP work, cited in CSETI’s congressional briefing.
Millions in Contracts — No Documentation
On 30 August 1996, former SAIC employee Denise McKenzie gave testimony stating she came to realise SAIC had “millions upon millions of dollars in contracts” that had no activity associated with them. No documentation. No timeline of events. No deliverables. She described this as a front for re-routing money into black budget or extra-governmental projects.
Electronic Propulsion and Antigravity Research
The testimony documents SAIC’s direct involvement in exotic propulsion research:
- April 1988: SAIC studied electronic propulsion for Edwards AFB under Franklin Mead, Chief of the Future Technologies Section. Investigator Dennis Cravens, assistant director of Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Centre for Explosive Technology Research, was central to the work.
- 1988: SAIC cited a five-dimensional theory of thermodynamics that could lead to a unified field theory and novel propulsion methods. Antigravity research was noted as not yet achieved but worth reconsidering.
- August 1990: SAIC’s DL Cravens produced an electric propulsion study testing coupling between electromagnetic and gravitational forces for space propulsion applications.
- January 1996: SAIC personnel — Ron Blackburn and “De Angelo” — were being interviewed by Robert Bigelow alongside NASA Ames engineer Larry Lemke for expertise in consciousness research for what would become NIDS (National Institute for Discovery Science).
The Keepers of Secrets
The testimony states directly: “Government officials such as DIA Director — ‘whom I recently met on this subject’ — are isolated from UAP knowledge; ‘keepers of the secrets’ reside in DOD middle management and civilian contractors like BDM, SAIC, Boeing, Lockheed and the comptrollers who monitor the flow of money to certain classified and Special Access Programs.”
The DIA Director doesn’t know. The Secretary of Defense doesn’t know. SAIC knows.
