Matthew James Sullivan was a U.S. Air Force Intelligence officer and a key firsthand witness who was scheduled to testify before Congress regarding classified, legacy government UFO (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) programs. [1, 2, 3]

His background and the circumstances surrounding his death include the following details:

• Professional Background: Sullivan was an Air Force intelligence veteran who earned a Bronze Star for valor in Operation Enduring Freedom. He worked with the Air Force Intelligence Agency, the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), and the National Security Agency (NSA). [1]

• Whistleblower Status: He was one of David Grusch's roughly 40 firsthand witnesses and was connected to the U.S. government's "crash retrieval" program. He was scheduled to testify to Congress regarding what the federal government knew and possessed. [1, 2, 3]

• Controversial Death: Sullivan died on May 12, 2024, in Falls Church, Virginia, just two weeks after agreeing to meet with congressional investigators. The official medical examiner's report ruled his death an accidental drug overdose from a lethal mix of alcohol and prescription medications. [1, 2]

• Government Investigation: Due to the suspicious timing, lawmakers—including U.S. Congressman Eric Burlison—have requested an FBI investigation into the incident. Sullivan's death is being scrutinized amid a broader federal investigation into more than a dozen deaths and disappearances of American scientists and aerospace researchers. [1, 2, 3]
