Northrop Grumman

Northrop Grumman
  • On the record: Northrop absorbed Grumman, Teledyne Ryan, TRW and BDM; ran Tejon RCS (underground facilities noted, sold 2024); its IRAD spending is large and partly unexplained.
  • The claims: Grusch says contractors ran loosely accountable retrievals with IRAD; Brown names a Northrop 'dirty tricks' figure; Wilson and Greer witnesses tie it to anti-gravity craft and Red Light.
  • Gerb's view: the main breakaway prime since 9/11, its security run by ex-PJ chief Terry Phillips.

Maker of the B-2 stealth bomber and the new B-21. Since the 1990s, researchers such as Paul LaViolette have argued that the B-2 uses electrogravitic (anti-gravity) technology, and many link Northrop to the black triangles seen over Belgium and elsewhere. It is regularly named among the large contractors that could house reverse-engineering work.

On the record

  • Northrop builds classified stealth aircraft, including the B-2 and B-21.
