A dead Los Alamos nuclear chief allegedly left his son secret files containing proof of a classified US government study into UFOs and alien technology
A top-secret stash of UFO files has reportedly been uncovered following the death of a high-ranking cybersecurity chief at one of America’s most classified nuclear labs. The bombshell documents, allegedly packed with internal memos, scientific data, and eerie images, were found among the personal effects of the former official at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico.
The laboratory is world-renowned as the birthplace of the atomic bomb, but it has long been haunted by UFO legends and sightings of mysterious green fireballs dating back to the 1940s.
The discovery was made by the official’s son, identified only as Johnny, as he sorted through his late father’s belongings. Hidden among the mundane items were files marked with the label “atmospheric anomalies.”
Investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell, who covers the story in his new documentary Sleeping Dog, says the sheer scale of the find is unprecedented.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: “This is a real scientific study at the classified level within our military of UFOs.”
Corbell claims the documents provide a paper trail of high-level government summits and deep-dives into alien propulsion systems.
He said: “Los Alamos was always a place where there were elements of the study of the UFO phenomenon… these documents are 100 percent proof that Los Alamos was taking it very seriously.
The haul allegedly contains a treasure trove of evidence that spans decades of unexplained aerial activity.
According to Corbell, the haul features everything from original Polaroids of analysed UFO cases throughout history to internal memos that log high-level government meetings where “anomalies” were discussed.
The files are also said to include Russian intelligence records detailing sightings over the Soviet Union, alongside technical sketches and detailed drawings of saucer-like craft, cylinders, and crop circles.
One specific document, titled Illustrations and Photos by the Gulf Breeze Witness, reportedly chronicles the famous Florida sightings between 1987 and 1991.
The files describe massive, 120-foot-wide silent discs glowing with red and green lights. The son of the cybersecurity expert reportedly realized the gravity of his father’s secret life almost immediately.
Corbell said: “This kid, after his dad passed away, starts going through and realises, ‘oh, this is some heavy stuff.”
Corbell spent years vetting the paperwork, even tracking down living scientists named in the reports. He claims many were stunned to see their names linked to such sensitive research.
He said: “I know some of the scientists personally. They’ve never told me that they did these studies on UFOs.”
While sceptics remain, Corbell insists the find confirms that the US government has been operating in the shadows for years. However, he warned that coming forward with such evidence is dangerous.
He said: “”There have been some situations that give everybody pause… whistleblowers have been squeezed.”
Though Corbell admits the files might not be a revelation to seasoned investigators, he believes they are the final confirmation needed to prove the government is tracking objects that defy human physics.
The full details of the stash are set to be revealed in the documentary Sleeping Dog, directed by Michael Lazovsky, which hits screens on May 12.
