IMMCON

Investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger—using source material later featured by filmmaker Jeremy Corbell in a whistleblower interview—brought national attention to the name Immaculate Constellation during a congressional hearing in November 2024. In his testimony, Shellenberger presented details from a whistleblower document describing a classified program by that name. The hearing marked the first time the program was formally acknowledged in a public government setting, though it was only referred to by its full name—”Immaculate Constellation.” Its mission? To collect, quarantine, and analyze high-resolution imagery and sensor data of UAPs captured by U.S. military assets around the globe.

“U.S. House Oversight Committee to Reveal Details on Secret UAP Program Immaculate Constellation in November 2024 Hearing” highlights the legislative buildup leading to Shellenberger’s testimony. At that point, Matthew Brown had not yet come forward, and the program was only known by its full name. Bipartisan concern prompted the House Oversight Committee to hold a public hearing examining whether Immaculate Constellation had operated without proper accountability, collecting sensitive UAP intelligence beyond the standard chain of command.

One of the earliest figures to hint at such a program was David Grusch, a former U.S. intelligence official who testified under oath in 2023. Grusch claimed that deeply buried SAPs were operating without oversight and were in possession of retrieved non-human craft. While he did not name Immaculate Constellation specifically, his account mirrors the structure and objectives now attributed to the program.

In early 2025, a new whistleblower, Matthew Brown, publicly identified himself as the author of a summary document on a Special Access Program called Immaculate Constellation. In a landmark interview featured on Weaponized (Episode #74), hosted by Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, Brown explained that the program was created to investigate UFO reports and to disseminate its findings to interested Pentagon parties. Brown also introduced the term “IMMCON” during the interview, noting that the shorthand had not been used previously. The term has since circulated in public discussions, though it still does not appear in official government documents.

Earlier, Corbell revealed that the 12th page of Brown’s document—the original cover sheet—had been physically removed before it was entered into the congressional record.

Brown claims the program was established as the Pentagon’s successor to AATIP, following Luis Elizondo’s departure. One of the most compelling claims tied to Brown’s disclosures is the existence of a color photograph allegedly showing a large, black triangular craft hovering above a Russian naval vessel in the Pacific Ocean. Brown described the image as part of a “collection incident” and stated that the object was silently floating above the warships—massive, menacing, and unmistakably not a known military aircraft. Though this image has not been officially released, similar visuals have surfaced online and are speculated to be part of the IMMCON archive.

The image —showing a large, structured craft with what appears to be an open bay door—closely parallels the blurred photo analyzed in the piece “HD Close-Up of a Mothership with Some Sort of Open Bay Door” . In that analysis, Nathan from the Strange Mysteries channel highlights a consistent visual feature: a subtle aura surrounding the object, revealed through image level adjustments. This recurring phenomenon across different UAP images suggests potential electromagnetic or energy-related interactions surrounding these crafts, aligning with theories about their operational mechanisms. The similarities between the images reinforce the notion that such structured crafts with open bay doors are not isolated incidents but part of a broader pattern observed in UAP sightings.

The IMMCOM program, is said to house an extensive archive of infrared footage, FLIR videos, still images, and measurement-and-signature intelligence (MASINT) that show craft performing impossible maneuvers or hovering silently above oceans and military bases. Some sources claim IMMCON has access to crash-retrieved technologies and non-human artifacts.

Despite mounting testimony, the Department of Defense officially denies the existence of any such program. Pentagon spokespersons state that no SAP called Immaculate Constellation has ever been acknowledged, and no physical evidence from whistleblowers has been released. Still, lawmakers like Rep. Nancy Mace and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna have publicly acknowledged the name, entering it into the congressional record and calling for further investigation. In a particularly striking comment, Mace went further—publicly demanding that the so-called “non-human biologics” be put on a gurney and rolled into an Oversight hearing signaling her frustration with ongoing stonewalling and her commitment to full transparency.

Some whistleblowers have gone so far as to allege that the executive branch has managed IMMCON without proper congressional oversight, describing its secrecy as part of a broader systemic concealment.

Curiously, the acronym IMMCON closely resembles IMCON, a lesser-known Department of Defense term used to reference Imagery Conditions, particularly in the handling of sensitive or Top Secret controlled imagery. While there is no official documentation directly linking the two, the similarity has led some analysts to suspect that the name IMMCON might be a subtle nod to its imagery-centric focus.

Previously Nathan, the host of the Strange Mysteries YouTube channel, shares a series of communications from an anonymous whistleblower who provided previously unseen images and information regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). The whistleblower responded to approximately 30 viewer-submitted questions, offering insights into the nature of the leaked materials and the motivations behind their disclosure. The whistleblower emphasized the importance of public awareness in pressuring for transparency on the subject of UAPs and expressed concerns about the potential risks to operational security posed by certain individuals seeking recognition.

Breakthrough UFO Photo Revealed: Closure for Abductee at Last introduces a personal turning point in the unfolding UAP narrative. The image—a still of a metallic sphere hovering above a mountainous region—was featured in “UPDATE #4: ‘I Received a Creepy E-mail w/ Leaked UFO Footage’,” released by Nathan, host of the Strange Mysteries YouTube channel. This photo, one of several sent anonymously to Nathan, struck me immediately. The craft’s shape, glow, and setting matched what I saw during my own UFO experiences so precisely that it brought a deep and unexpected sense of closure. These ongoing releases—along with material from the so-called Legacy Program and connections to the Immaculate Constellation archive—are building a larger mosaic of insider testimony and leaked visuals. They don’t just validate data—they validate people like me, who’ve been waiting for something, anything, that reflects what we lived through.

“Confidential IR Picture Set of UAPs from the Legacy Program” expands the growing body of publicly circulating UAP evidence. In November 2024, the Strange Mysteries YouTube channel received a 14-page PDF titled “Immaculate Constellation UAP IR Cam Picture Set Research Station NA 43” from an anonymous whistleblower. The document contained infrared images depicting various unidentified aerial phenomena, including “orbs,” “motherships,” starfish-like objects, and spinning crosses, reportedly captured near sensitive sites such as nuclear deterrent bases. The whistleblower claimed affiliation with a legacy program overseen by a parent entity, later identified as the Immaculate Constellation Program. These images, collected through advanced Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) methods, were carefully anonymized to protect the source’s identity. The release of this material underscores the complex, compartmentalized structure of covert programs managing UAP data and highlights the challenges faced by independent researchers in verifying and disseminating such information.

The Black Triangle UFO incident near Catalina Island has garnered renewed attention following recent disclosures from the “Immaculate Constellation” program. The emergence of these photographs has prompted renewed scrutiny of past UAP encounters, particularly the black triangle sightings, as researchers and enthusiasts seek to understand potential connections between these events.

As the push for transparency accelerated toward December 16, 2024—dubbed “Official Disclosure Day”—a curious moment unfolded just days earlier. Former President Donald Trump, addressing the New Jersey UFO sightings that appeared near his Bedminster golf club, stated on record: “Our military knows where they took off from… they know where it came from and where it went.” He then added, “For some reason, they don’t want to comment, and I think they’d be better off saying what it is.”

This wasn’t a fringe remark—it was a sitting former president speaking publicly about government knowledge of UAPs in direct, unambiguous terms. His comments landed at a moment of heightened public scrutiny, in sync with the unfolding revelations around Immaculate Constellation.

By aligning with the public’s growing demand for answers, whether intentionally or not, Trump’s remarks may be seen as an informal capstone to a year of escalating disclosure—where testimony, documents, images, and now executive-level statements point to one unsettling truth: remembering.
