CIA Office Of Global Access

Alleged UAP Involvement

Cross-Border Retrieval Operations

Journalist Christopher Sharp accused the Office of Global Access of participating directly in foreign UAP crash recovery operations in a September 2024 article. According to Sharp's reporting, OGA provides the operational logistics and coordination for retrieval missions, while intelligence agencies such as the NRO furnish various forms of satellite and signals intelligence to locate downed craft. JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command)—a subordinate command within Special Operations Command comprising Delta Force, SEAL Team 6, the 24th STS, Regimental Reconnaissance Company, and the Intelligence Support Activity—allegedly serves as the boots-on-the-ground force for such retrieval operations.

Sharp's source stated the OGA acts as "a facilitator for people to get in and out of countries" and is "very clever at being able to get anywhere in the world they want to." The source added that while physical retrieval is done by the military, objects are moved out of military control "fairly quickly into private hands" because the military "has to keep too many records."

1974 Coyame Precedent

The CIA's alleged role in the 1974 Coyame, Mexico UFO Crash Retrieval—which occurred nearly three decades before the OGA's creation—suggests that the functions later consolidated under the OGA were performed by other CIA departments or ad hoc teams prior to 2003. According to the Denb Report, the CIA received radio intercepts of the Mexican military's discovery of a crashed disc on August 25, 1974, and "immediately began forming a recovery team." The report notes, "The speed with which this team and equipment was assembled suggests that this was either a well-rehearsed exercise or one that had been performed prior to this event."

By 2100 hours on August 26, 1974, a CIA recovery team with unmarked helicopters had assembled and staged at Fort Bliss, Texas. The team covertly entered Mexican airspace, retrieved the disc from a stopped Mexican military convoy (all personnel dead), destroyed the site with high explosives, and transported the object to Atlanta, Georgia—a pattern consistent with OGA operations as described by Sharp's sources.

This suggests the CIA has coordinated cross-border UAP crash retrievals since at least the 1970s, with the OGA serving as the institutional formalization of these longstanding practices after 2003.

Operational Model

The operational model described by Sharp and corroborated by alleged historical cases consists of:

1. Intelligence: Satellite and reconnaissance assets (NRO, reconnaissance aircraft) locate and track crash sites
2. Logistics and Coordination: CIA (via OGA or predecessor units) facilitates access, coordinates with foreign governments (or bypasses them), and manages operational security
3. Retrieval: JSOC or specialized military units perform physical recovery with hazmat protocols
4. Transfer: Objects are moved "fairly quickly into private hands" (aerospace contractors, national laboratories) to minimize military documentation

This model is consistent with patterns observed in the 1974 Coyame, Mexico UFO Crash Retrieval and the 1997 Peru UFO Crash Retrieval.
