UAP Recovered From Archaeological Dig: USAF Whistleblower Says Intelligence Personnel Were Shown Photographic Evidence
Former US Air Force intelligence specialist Dylan Borland testified publicly before Congress and told the WEAPONIZED podcast that he was shown briefings and photographic evidence of Tic-Tac-shaped craft recovered during archaeological digs. The implications: UAP are not exclusively from space — some have been buried in the ground for an unknown period of time.
The Borland Testimony
Dylan Borland, who testified before the Congressional Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, expanded publicly on what he witnessed:
They had photographic evidence of archaeological digs of some of these, and they had photographic evidence of ones that were complete. They did not disclose where they came from, which goes back to AARO and the word games that are played with AARO on this subject.

Borland learned of the archaeological recoveries in 2015 when he was exposed to briefings and photographic evidence by members of a UAP legacy programme. The craft described were Tic-Tac or ‘propane tank’ shaped — consistent with the USS Nimitz 2004 encounter.
Corroboration Chain
This is not an isolated claim. Bob Lazar claimed at least one craft he encountered was described as having been recovered from an archaeological context. Luis Elizondo used a King Tutankhamun analogy in multiple public appearances to hint at a buried advanced vehicle. Jake Barber’s retrieval testimony describes craft recovered from a desert testing facility. A Liberation Times source outlined the typical scenario for overseas discovery: local to national authorities → CIA station → Directorate of Operations + Directorate of Science and Technology coordinate technical recovery.
The Ancient Civilisation Thread
Sources told Liberation Times that some UAP discoveries could be human-made or linked to an advanced ancient civilisation. This is the framing that makes the archaeological discovery context coherent: the craft are not necessarily space vehicles that crash-landed — some may have been manufactured on Earth, by intelligence that predates modern human civilisation, and buried at sites that archaeologists later disturb.
AARO’s 2024 annual report notes that 4% of all UAP sightings are cylindrical — the Tic-Tac shape. That percentage, applied to 750+ reported incidents, represents a significant and consistent physical profile. Tic-Tac reports stretch back to 1979 in the Italian Air Force record.
