AT&T
AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph Company) is an American telecommunications conglomerate and one of the largest technology corporations in US history. In UAP research, AT&T is notable for its 1949–1993 management of Sandia National Laboratories under contract from the US government, and for alleged connections to non-human intelligence (NHI) technology transfers documented in Steven Greer's Disclosure Project archives.

Management of Sandia National Laboratories
In 1949, President Harry Truman transferred managerial responsibility for Sandia National Laboratories — situated on the property of Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico — to AT&T. AT&T retained this management role until 1993, when control passed to Lockheed Martin. Sandia during this period operated as the primary engineering laboratory of the US nuclear weapons complex and conducted advanced research across multiple classified domains.
The relevance to UAP programs stems from the alleged Majestic 12 Eisenhower Briefing Document's claim that material recovered from a December 6, 1950 UAP crash near El Indio, Texas was transported to the Atomic Energy Commission's Sandia facility for study. If material from a non-human craft arrived at Sandia in late 1950, AT&T would have been managing the facility at that time. The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) language specifically identified the Atomic Energy Commission as an entity historically used to misclassify and obfuscate UAP information.
Alleged NHI Technology Transfers
Steven Greer's Disclosure Project witness archive contains two redacted entries describing alleged ET/NHI technology transfers to AT&T:
- One entry describes a witness from the AEC with knowledge of ET technology transfer to AT&T.
- A second entry describes a president of an unnamed organization with knowledge of an ET technology transfer program to AT&T, noting the individual "may have useful pseudonyms" and "knows about the ET technology transfer program."
AT&T and the Transistor
AT&T Bell Labs developed the transistor in the late 1940s — a technological breakthrough with implications for the development of modern electronics. In UAP research contexts, the timing of this development alongside alleged EBE technology recoveries in the late 1940s has been noted by researchers, including UAP Gerb, as suggestive of potential technology transfer — though no direct evidence has been established.
Sandia Transition to Lockheed Martin
AT&T's management of Sandia concluded in 1993, when Lockheed Martin assumed the management contract. UAP Gerb has cited this transition as part of a broader pattern connecting the El Indio crash chain: material sent to Sandia (under AT&T management), alleged technology transfers to AT&T, and Sandia's subsequent transition to Lockheed Martin — the same company whose reverse-engineering programs have been discussed in connection with UAP legacy programs.
