Project Rubik’s Cube
Project Rubik’s Cube is the reported name of a classified UFO and UAP-related program that entered public discussion during a live event at the McMenamins UFO Festival in McMinnville, Oregon, on May 15, 2026. The festival itself is held near the location connected to the famous 1950 Trent UFO photographs and has become a major gathering point for disclosure researchers, journalists, experiencers, and former military personnel.
During a live panel appearance on May 15, 2026, investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell, joined by George Knapp, directly questioned former USAF 1N1 geospatial intelligence specialist Dylan Borland about a program called “Project Rubik’s Cube.” Corbell asked:
“Have you ever testified to ICIG about a UAP programme containing UAP called Project Rubik’s Cube?”
The exchange immediately drew attention because of Borland’s visible reaction on stage.
Borland visibly paused and appeared startled before responding:
“Let me collect my thoughts…”
Audience members could reportedly be heard shouting “No” and “Don’t do it” before Borland continued:
“I am not in a SCIF. I am not going to jail. I can neither confirm nor deny… but if you want me to answer that question, ask for amnesty for the whistleblowers, as Congress and the Executive Branch should give it to us, and I’ll answer that question.”
The moment gained additional attention because Borland had previously hinted at a mysterious “two magic words” during an earlier appearance on Corbell and Knapp’s Weaponized podcast in October 2025. During that discussion, Borland described briefing AARO personnel and congressional staff before reportedly mentioning a two-word program name that caused one official’s “mouth to hit the floor,” with visible shock and hands reportedly thrown into the air. Borland stated at the time that it was likely a program name he “probably” should not have known and implied that AARO personnel immediately recognized it.
Borland is a former USAF 1N1 geospatial intelligence specialist who reportedly served at Langley Air Force Base between approximately 2010 and 2013. He has publicly discussed a reported 2012 encounter involving a large silent black triangular craft estimated to be roughly 100 feet across. According to Borland, the object interfered with his phone before departing rapidly without conventional propulsion effects.
In September 2025, Borland testified publicly regarding non-human craft, legacy UAP programs operating outside traditional oversight structures, and alleged retaliation faced by individuals connected to disclosure efforts. He has since appeared multiple times in disclosure-related interviews discussing briefings with congressional staff and AARO personnel.
Virtually nothing is publicly known regarding the actual purpose, operations, technologies, or structure of Project Rubik’s Cube. No authenticated documents, budget records, Pentagon acknowledgments, or official government statements connected to the program have been released publicly. No descriptions explaining how the program functions, what technologies it may study, or how any related knowledge is applied have surfaced publicly.
Remote viewing researcher Skip Atwater used a multidimensional Rubik’s Cube analogy while discussing interdimensional travel, advanced propulsion, and reality manipulation concepts. In those discussions, the cube represented higher-dimensional transformations capable of altering space-time relationships themselves, with some interpretations describing the process as “bringing the destination to you” instead of conventional point-to-point travel. This involves gravity manipulation, exotic electromagnetic systems, Clifford algebra, and higher-symmetry electromagnetic concepts.
The story continues to fuel calls for stronger whistleblower protections, congressional investigations, and secure testimony environments where individuals connected to classified programs may eventually speak more openly without fear of prosecution.
