In August 2026, Matthew Brown floated an unusual idea in an interview with Jesse Michels: perhaps a person could operate an unidentified craft using their mind. This was reported by the American website Curiousmos on October 22. This is a speculative idea, not a description of an identified craft or a successful experiment.
Brown spoke about stories he said circulate regarding secret programs, and the question of whether individuals have been selected over generations due to a special ability. He did not say he had seen such a program himself. But the possibility he raised is intriguing: perhaps, according to this idea, not only the machine matters — but also who is inside it.
Who is Brown, and What Did He Claim?
The source does not present Brown as an expert or a witness to a specific program. It recounts an interview in which Brown connected stories about unidentified craft, consciousness, and an ability that might pass from parents to children. In parts of the conversation, he discussed things he had heard, and in others, he offered his own explanations.
Therefore, it is important to separate two things: Brown hypothesized about the selection of individuals over several generations, but he did not describe an operation he witnessed. Nor was any evidence presented in the interview that people had been selected or had succeeded in operating craft with their minds.
Is There a Precedent for This in Intelligence?
In the past, US intelligence agencies investigated claims of anomalous perception abilities. One such ability was called remote viewing: an attempt to gather information about a distant location without physically being there. This research did not involve operating craft.
The CIA reviewed the collected information and found it too vague and inconsistent to provide the precise information they sought. The program was terminated. This is merely historical background: it does not confirm Brown's idea and does not prove a connection between anomalous perception and craft.
What Remains Unknown
It is unknown whether a program for selecting operators existed, or if a person can operate a craft with their mind. The interview presented no demonstration or documents, nor did it explain what prompted Brown to raise the idea at that particular time.
Perhaps, in this idea, the most challenging aspect of an unidentified craft is not the machine — but the way to communicate with it.
