Brad Byers

Brad Byers served as a White House advisor involved in UAP-related briefings within U.S. government programs. In the context of the Pentagon's UFO investigations, he was hesitant to brief then-Secretary of Defense James Mattis until the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (OUSD(I)) had a permanent Senate-confirmed appointee, as the position was temporarily filled with acting personnel. This reluctance stemmed from the need for stable leadership to properly inform stakeholders on UAP matters, as recounted by Luis Elizondo in his memoir 'Imminent.' No birth or death years, nationality beyond U.S.
