- On the record: DARPA ran SDI-era space sensors, studied hidden underground cavities and has a security directorate (SID).
- The claims: Matthew Brown (named) on a former DARPA SAPCO's 'dirty tricks'; Gerb's anonymous sources on SID crimes and Highnam's role.
The Pentagon's advanced research agency, founded in 1958. Its public record touches this story through SDI-era space sensors (Talon Gold, Teal Ruby), a 1991 paper on hiding underground cavities, and its security directorate. Matthew Brown says a former DARPA deputy SAPCO, later at Northrop Grumman, ran 'dirty tricks' against whistleblowers. UAP Gerb's unnamed sources go further, accusing former security directors of serious crimes and naming ex-deputy director Peter Highnam as a senior legacy figure; those are unverified.
