Dan Sherman is an American author whose self-described career as an Air Force intelligence specialist is the basis of Above Black: Project Preserve Destiny, published in 1997. In the book he says he was recruited into a highly classified program to communicate telepathically with extraterrestrials. No government agency has acknowledged such a program, and its details come from Sherman's own account.
By his account, Sherman joined the Air Force in 1982, served about twelve years, began as a security policeman and cross-trained into electronic intelligence. He says that his 1992 training at the National Security Agency at Fort Meade was cover for preparing him as an "intuitive communicator," and that he exchanged messages with beings the program called Greys before leaving the service. He promoted the book in 1997 on Art Bell's Coast to Coast AM and gave occasional interviews afterward.
The story drew renewed attention when a records requester reported that the Air Force had referred a request about Project Preserve Destiny to the NSA, which some commentators took as confirmation. In April 2026 John Greenewald published records from his own follow-up request indicating that an Air Force records officer had routed the original request after a simple Google search, and that the NSA had questioned the referral.
Sherman returned to public view in 2026 with an interview on American Alchemy, where he said a call from an unknown number had discouraged him from telling his story on Howard Stern's show. Later that year former Pentagon adviser Matthew Brown said Above Black was one of the few UFO books he had read, because insiders had called it "credible disclosure," while researcher Joe Murgia has argued that the account has problems. Nearly three decades after publication, Above Black remains a touchstone in debates over claims of government-sanctioned contact with non-human beings.
Yeah, I also had someone tell me to read his book because it rang true. But as I've pointed out (and most people don't want to hear) in some long-ass posts, there are some problems with Sherman's story. https://t.co/Rv4L4wLLRt [Quoted] Matthew Brown stated that Above Black: Project Preserve Destiny [the Dan Sherman story] was one of the few UFO books he’s read because insiders told him it was “credible disclosure.” PPD = the real deal.

So, David Grusch is aware of a live occupant case where the being communicated in a captive setting using telepathy. Well, there’s precedents. There’s the case of Dan Sherman (kinda) and… Kewper Stein. “Afterward, the boss told Kewper that the ET did not speak aloud because his communication was only telepathic within the next room. The gray, thin, entity would send answers to a CIA interpreter who worked with him daily before he even spoke the question out loud.” Quote from Paul Blake Smith...

🚨 Lots of people made a big deal about Dan Sherman, Project Preserve Destiny, and how the Air Force forwarded a FOIA request to the NSA, thus somehow confirming that this alien communication and/or adaptation project was real. That didn't seem right to me (as referrals are commonplace, even when no records exist), so, I set out to find out why, given I saw absolutely nothing that indicated what so many were excited about. As expected, after a new FOIA drop just came in earlier today to me fr...
