Corey Goode
Corey Goode is an American who achieved prominence in the UAP and New Age communities through his claims of having participated in a "20 and back" secret space program — alleging he served 20 years of indentured service working alongside extraterrestrials and humans in a classified space program, with his memories subsequently wiped and his body age-regressed before being returned to civilian life. His claims have been widely disputed within the UAP research community.

"20 and Back" Claims
Goode's central claim involves a multi-decade service obligation in a classified military space program that allegedly operated alongside non-human intelligence entities. The program allegedly involved advanced technology, off-planet operations, and a form of time-acceleration or biological manipulation that allowed personnel to serve full careers without aging in the conventional timeline.
Researcher Mark McCandlish and UAP Gerb have explicitly distinguished the ARV and secret space program claims they find credible from Goode's "20 and back" stories, describing the latter as substantially more fantastical. UAP Gerb noted that Goode reportedly detailed his claims under oath, and that the account constitutes "lies under oath" — suggesting that whatever formal or legal context produced that testimony contradicted Goode's public narrative.
