Sheehan says that in 1977 he saw photographs of a crashed craft in a Library of Congress vault while assisting Carter's proposed UFO inquiry. He later represented David Grusch's colleagues and Luis Elizondo and lobbies for the UAP Disclosure Act. The corpus takes his account as testimony without corroborating documents.
