@JesseMichels - "“The NSA Hired Me To Speak To Aliens!” -Sargeant Dan Sherman"

Short Summary​

Retired Air Force Sergeant Dan Sherman claims he was recruited in the early 90s for a classified NSA program called Project Preserve Destiny, where he telepathically decoded alien signals related to abductions and alien nature. Sherman's story, documented in his book Above Black, includes genetic manipulation claims and his interactions with alien entities while serving, leading him to moral qualms and ultimately seeking discharge. Despite the controversial nature of his claims, Sherman is open to testifying before Congress under proper immunity.

Key Quotes​

Okay, here are 5 direct quotes extracted from the transcript that I found particularly insightful or interesting:

  1. "When I saw the sine wave move, I went, 'Oh, okay. Well, there's a mental disconnect there that that's not supposed to be happening. That this is not this is not possible.'" - This quote highlights the initial disbelief and paradigm shift experienced by Sherman when he realized the connection between his mind and the external representation of a tone.

  2. "With the IC communication, you can feel it in your brain. You can feel Now, you can't you can't localize it. It's not a localization, but I can feel like it's in that area of my brain right there." - This describes the unique, non-localized sensation associated with intuitive communication, suggesting a different modality of thought processing.

  3. "I'm pretty convinced it was alien. Yeah. But there's no way that I could prove it in court." This displays Sherman's conviction regarding the alien origin of the communications, while also acknowledging the lack of concrete proof.

  4. "They said it was due to some future event where the ability to intuitively communicate would help the military and help you know command and control and and all that." - Reveals the claimed purpose of Project Preserve Destiny: to prepare for an unspecified future event where intuitive communication would be crucial.

  5. “My impression was that they've been here for a very long time and that they've intersected with humanity at different times… it became much more difficult once our civilization had advanced because it was the the levels of communication between civilizations and stuff. It was harder to keep their autonomy or their distance so to speak from when they wanted the distance. It was harder to do that when other societies were talking about each other.” - Suggests the aliens have been interacting with humanity for a considerable period and implies challenges related to maintaining autonomy and distance as human civilization has advanced.

Detailed Summary​

Okay, here is a detailed summary of the YouTube video transcript, presented in bullet points:

Key Topics:

  • Dan Sherman's Story: Retired Air Force Technical Sergeant Dan Sherman recounts his experience as an "intuitive communicator" recruited for Project Preserve Destiny, a classified NSA program in the early 1990s.
  • Project Preserve Destiny: The project's purpose was to telepathically decode alien signals, primarily dealing with alien abductions.
  • Alien Communication: Sherman describes receiving and transmitting thoughts from alien beings, including details about their travel, perception of time, and views on humanity.
  • Genetic Manipulation: Sherman was told that his telepathic abilities stemmed from genetic alterations made to him while he was a fetus in his mother's womb by aliens, as part of the Preserve Destiny project.
  • NSA Involvement: The program was run through the NSA (National Security Agency), cloaked within existing "black" projects.
  • Secrecy and Compartmentalization: The video emphasizes the extreme secrecy surrounding the project, with multiple layers of obfuscation and compartmentalization.
  • Freedom of Information Act Request: An independent researcher's FOIA request regarding Project Preserve Destiny and the government's response (or lack thereof) is discussed.

Arguments and Information:

  • Sherman's Background: Sherman had a somewhat itinerant childhood, attending 27 schools, with no military family background. He was inspired to join the Air Force by an SR-71 pilot.
  • Military Service: Sherman served for 12 years in the Air Force as an electronics intelligence specialist.
  • Recruitment: Sherman was selected for Project Preserve Destiny while attending a continuation course (EA280) at the NSA complex in Maryland.
  • Initial Briefing: A Captain informed Sherman about the project's origins, the genetic manipulation, and his role as an intuitive communicator.
  • The "Clicking" Process: Sherman details the training process, involving listening to tones and mentally humming them while focusing on sine waves displayed on a computer screen. The "clicking" referred to the feeling of connection and focus achieved.
  • Training: After successful “clicking”, he associates colors, letters, and other concepts with the waves in the box.
  • Facility: Details are provided about the secretive facility where Sherman trained, including descriptions of security measures (palm readers, retina scanners, unmarked vans).
  • Pills: The pills taken before training had no taste and may have been supplements of some kind,
  • Secrecy Protocol: Strict rules were in place, including not discussing the project with anyone outside of it and introductions by previous contact people.
  • "Spock" and "Bones": Sherman assigned these names to the alien beings he communicated with, based on personality impressions, but there were more than two. Spock was more number-oriented, and Bones had more visual messages.
  • The Two Levels of Communication: When Sherman asks a question that is less protocol-based, he opens up a new plane in his mind. Both alien beings were curious.
  • Alien Perspectives: Sherman relays the aliens' views on various topics, including time travel, the sun, religion, travel methods (involving electromagnetism and time manipulation), and humanity (referred to as "water beings").
  • Experimentation: That aliens had interbreed with humans experimentally.
  • Alien Abductions: Sherman grew uncomfortable with the program when he began receiving information related to alien abductions and their impact on individuals, with the purpose of his communication with the aliens being to help them with abduction operations.
  • Desire to Leave: Sherman expressed a desire to leave the program, but his captain warned him it would be difficult.
  • Homosexual Discharge: Sherman chose to reveal his bisexuality in order to be discharged under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
  • Backlash: Sherman received a call from an anonymous person telling him to stop talking about his experience after being contacted by the Howard Stern Show.
  • Lack of Contact: Sherman has not met or been contacted by anyone who was also part of Project Preserve Destiny.
  • Freedom of Information Act: Researchers were told the project fell under the purview of the NSA. The nonexistence of Project Preserve Destiny caused them to invoke Executive Order 13526 which only involves classified programs dealing with national defense,
  • Italian Periodical: The Italian periodical Less Espresso wrote that Trump has access to Project Preserve Destiny.
  • San Vito Normanni: Is the first project preserve destiny base.
  • Present-day Research: Dan has lost the ability to communicate now and hasn't tried in a long time.
  • Scott Andrews: Claimed he had been brought to space command as a child to communicate with aliens.

Other Points:

  • The video emphasizes the strangeness and high-strangeness of Sherman's experiences, setting them apart from typical UFO stories.
  • The interviewer highlights the challenges of verifying Sherman's claims but argues that his story is important and difficult to dismiss.
  • The video explores the complex interplay between the government, black projects, and the potential alien presence.
  • The end of the interview reveals that Sherman is open to testifying before Congress if given whistleblower immunity.
  • The interview concludes with Sherman sharing his belief that aliens have good intentions toward humanity, not malevolent ones.
