The Marine Who Says He Saw a Secret UAP Operation

In 2009, former U.S. Marine Michael Herrera was deployed to Indonesia as part of a humanitarian and security operation following a natural disaster. What he encountered there, he says, was not a non-human spacecraft — but something he now believes may be worse: a human-operated craft using technology that did not originate with us, guarded by armed personnel who appeared to be former tier-one operators, and connected to a hidden network of programs that he alleges involve the abduction and exploitation of people for psionic assets.

The Encounter: What Herrera Says He Saw

Herrera was with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, attached to 2nd Battalion 5th Marines, when his ship was rerouted from the Philippines to Padang, Western Sumatra, in 2009. His team was dropped by helicopter into a clearing to establish security for a hasty landing zone. From a ridge, they spotted something unusual through the vegetation — a rotating object changing colors. They moved to investigate.
