John Ramirez
John Ramirez is a former CIA operative who has made public claims about US intelligence community involvement with UAP and USO phenomena. He became known for statements about a "galactic federation" and other fringe UAP claims, but has also provided more specific — if unverified — claims about institutional relationships between naval and CIA entities involved in USO material recovery.

WINPAC and Office of Naval Research Claims (2022)
In 2022, Ramirez claimed to have heard rumors of a relationship between the Office of Naval Research and the CIA's WINPAC — the Weapons Intelligence, Nonproliferation, and Arms Control Center — in which USO-related materials recovered from the ocean are transferred to the CIA through this channel. UAP Gerb cites this claim in the context of noting that USO research intersects with CIA institutional interests in ways that remain inadequately documented. These claims are characterized as unverified and as part of a broader pattern of intelligence community-adjacent figures making incremental disclosures about UAP/USO programs.
UAP Gerb notes an intention to cover CIA UAP connections more thoroughly in a dedicated video.
Galactic Federation Claims
Ramirez is described in the transcript as the individual who "made the galactic federations claims famous" — a reference to sensational UAP claims that attracted significant public attention but are not treated as credible within UAP Gerb's analytical framework. His WINPAC claims are treated as separate and more plausible.
