A UFO whistleblower has made the extraordinary claim that an alien once flagged down a military convoy to ask for a spare part. The latest in a line of UFO whistleblowers, he alleges that the US government has had dealings with extraterrestrial beings.

“But it was not a human being, it was another type of being and it asked him for a part of his ship.”

Sands is quite a contentious character within UFO enthusiast groups, owing to his rather extravagant claims about his tenure with the USAF. While there is concrete evidence of his employment with the Air Force, no solid proof exists validating his involvement in any UFO recovery team.
