The witness: Randy Anderson, US Army Special Forces weapons sergeant, named and firsthand.
What he saw: a seamless sphere and a glyph-projecting gauntlet in a lab below Crane, both said to respond to consciousness.
Gerb's hypothesis: SAIC runs the division; its Crane contracts are on the record.

WhereNaval Surface Warfare Center Crane, Indiana

Former Green Beret Randy Anderson says that during weapons training at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane in the early 2010s, a contractor took him and another soldier into an 'Off-World Technologies Division' below the base. There he saw a seamless sphere and a gauntlet-like device said to respond to human consciousness, one of them projecting glyphs. He told the story on Jesse Michels' American Alchemy and UAP Gerb investigated it. Gerb believes SAIC, which holds large Crane contracts, runs the division.

Claims

A US Army Green Beret weapons sergeant (18B) with a TS/SCI clearance, he was sent to Crane for advanced weapons training and shown classified foreign and domestic weapons; then the course leader, a former-military contractor in civilian clothes, took him and one other soldier to a pristine area below Crane he called the 'Off-World Technologies Division'.firsthandSourced, unconfirmedRandy Anderson

From an observation room over a lab staffed by one technician he saw a seamless metal sphere no bigger than a basketball and a gauntlet-like device; they were told both interacted with human consciousness, and that the gauntlet counted as a weapon because it discharged energy during recovery. It projected glyph-like writing, and he could not tell whether it was in the room or in his mind.Stargate closedfirsthandSourced, unconfirmedRandy Anderson
