Perspective
In January 2018, Dan Meyer, Executive Director of IC Whistleblowing and Source Protection, publicly defended himself after being placed on administrative leave amid allegations by Acting ICIG Wayne Stone, while an unusual disciplinary panel of inspectors general from the Departments of Treasury and Energy, the National Security Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the National Reconnaissance Office reviewed his case following his own whistleblowing disclosures about failures to implement Presidential Policy Directive 19.[1]
Regarding unidentified flying objects (UFOs or UAP), in September–October 2023 Dylan Borland was interviewed by ICIG Thomas Monheim and director Avril Haines and when Borland said he wanted to "look Congress in the eyes, tell them the truth under oath" that Monheim said "as far as we’re concerned, you already did that and you’re not doing it again".[2] ICIG personnel informed Borland that everything he had said during the interview—including unclassified information—would be subject to executive review, effectively restricting him from publicly discussing the matter. Dylan Borland testified to Congress's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets about UFOs/UAP in September 2025.[3]
