UFO journalist claims CIA tracked him after bombshell report

UFO journalist Matt Ford claims the CIA tracked his movements after he helped publish a bombshell Daily Mail report alleging a secret CIA office coordinated the recovery of crashed UFOs and UAP.

Matt Ford, speaking on The Good Trouble Show, said he co-authored a Daily Mail investigation roughly three years ago.

The report allegedly revealed a little-known CIA office called the Office of Global Access. According to Ford, the office operates within the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology.

He said that sources described it as a hub for UFO retrieval operations, with insiders allegedly telling the journalists the CIA could recover objects globally.

That included both allied territory and adversarial nations.

“We have the ability to go into China, Russia, wherever, and pick these things up at a whim,” Ford shared.

“They would send a team out to recover these things, bring them back to the United States,” he said, potentially referring to a current operational program, and not necessarily a Cold War one.

Before the story's publication, Ford says sources warned that it would trigger internal turmoil.

"We were warned when this article came out… that it would cause a panic in the CIA," he explained.

Tracking down his whereabouts

According to Ford, the Daily Mail story went live at 6 a.m. Pacific Time on November 28th, 2023, and five hours later, he says something strange happened.

At around 11 a.m., Ford says he was sitting in a Las Vegas hotel bar, as he was in the city working on a television project.

Someone, either from the CIA or most likely from one of the defense contractors, came and harassed me while I was sitting there.

The encounter led Ford to question how anyone knew where he was, as he confided that very few people knew of his travel plans.

How in the hell did they know hours after this article came out that I would be staying at the Waldorf Astoria on the Strip?

Monitoring the signals

Ford believes the incident suggests he was being monitored in both his location and communications.

"The CIA or the NSA had been monitoring our signal conversations," he claims.

A few years passed after the article was published. Then, according to Ford, the story vanished from the Daily Mail website.

Roughly five months ago, Ford says he noticed the article was gone, with himself and co-author Josh Boswell reportedly contacting the publication.

"The Daily Mail appears to have purposely removed this article about the CIA Office of Global Access," he said.

An explanation was allegedly provided. Ford says editors blamed an automated SEO tool.

"It was an overzealous SEO robot," he said.

He argues the timing is suspicious given renewed UAP attention, claiming, "I can virtually guarantee you it was the CIA."

Ford alerts Trump

Ford says the timing of the article's disappearance matters. He notes that interest in UFO disclosure has recently surged again.

"Of all times to remove your biggest story about how the government recovers these damn things," he said, directing much of the message to Trump.

The journalist argues that the administration has a narrow opportunity to force disclosure. He also addresses lawmakers involved in UAP investigations, chiefly Anna Paulina Luna, Tim Burchett, and Eric Burlison.

He wants Congress to investigate both the CIA and the Pentagon and argues lawmakers are being kept in the dark.

Claiming that elected officials may themselves be under surveillance, Ford also postulated, “I guarantee you the CIA is monitoring the communications of members of Congress."

Ford closed with his strongest criticism of the intelligence community, arguing that Congress must intervene now rather than later.

"What the CIA is doing to this country is a cancer. The CIA needs to be splintered into a thousand pieces," he said.
