Matthew Roberts
Former Office of Naval Intelligence cryptologist and intelligence analyst, and a self-described experiencer of “the Phenomenon.” Roberts states he was aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt during the collection of the Gimbal and Go Fast UAP footage, and that he began having follow-on anomalous experiences in the aftermath. He is the author of Initiated: UAP, Dreams, Depression, Delusions, Shadow People, Psychosis, Sleep Paralysis, and Pandemics.
At the July 2026 “Breaking the Taboo” symposium, Roberts presents “The Phenomenon as a Driver of Evolutionary Psychological Development,” framing contact experiences as catalysts of psychological maturation. His military-sensor proximity makes him a notable bridge between the experiencer community and the official Navy UAP-footage cases.
