Anthony Williams
Anthony Williams is a former U.S. military intelligence officer and special access program analyst who has appeared on the UAP Unidentified Alien Podcast with host Stephen Diener to provide behind-the-scenes context on Jason Sands and the broader landscape of classified UAP reporting within the military intelligence community.
Background
Williams describes his professional role as analyzing military UAP footage and intelligence reports, including reviewing video captures from Navy drone and aircraft systems for anomalous activity. He and Jason Sands were both members of a private classified intelligence community forum in which dozens of personnel — Williams estimates hundreds — have posted personal UAP encounter reports and sightings without going public.
Claims about UAP reporting
Williams states that in his assessment, none of the credible military UAP videos he has reviewed are human-made: "Of the credible videos that we're seeing that we're looking at — none of them. I don't think any of them are made by human hands. Not one." He says a "big dump" of new military footage — including at least seven previously unseen videos from within the prior year — had recently circulated within the intelligence community in 2024, with the majority depicting orb-type craft captured accidentally during unrelated drone and aircraft missions.
Williams also disclosed knowledge of multiple incidents in late 2023 in which large black triangular craft — three craft operating together — were observed and tracked over nuclear missile installations in Wyoming and Colorado, confirmed by both visual witnesses and radar, and that military helicopters (Super Hueys) were scrambled on the second incident. The aircraft interceptors reportedly made radio contact with each other while the objects hovered stationary over silos, but the triangles departed as the helicopters approached.
Williams described seeing a classified briefing document containing a timeline slide that included a specific near-term date for UAP disclosure, with the arrow of time color-changing to indicate a post-disclosure phase, and distinguishing between "catastrophic disclosure" and "deliberate disclosure." He declined to specify the date but stated he found it credible and was discussing it with colleagues: "There's a very near date of when disclosure on that timeline is."
On the state of government awareness, Williams said: "This taken way more serious within government than what the public is led on to believe... those two don't resolve each other — we think it's important enough to get a lot of reporting and to do all this and to put money on it — but there's nothing [in public]. That's not how anyone does business or aligns resources and time and effort."
Williams was described by Jason Sands — the military whistleblower whom Williams helped bring to public attention — as a mutual contact who had alerted Sands before Sands' public emergence: "Anthony Williams and I had been talking about you behind the scenes."
