Contractor-Custody Thesis.

allegedcrash_retrievalSOF/JSOC UAP Retrieval Claim

The claim that retrieved craft are moved off the books into private aerospace SAPs so they evade audits/FOIA/oversight: contractors HOLD it, SOF/JSOC GUARDS and MOVES it.

[CLAIM] 'The actual physical retrieval is by the military... but it's not kept under military control, because they have to keep too many records. So they start moving it out fairly quickly into private hands' (Coulthart sources). Named custodians in lore: Lockheed Martin, Battelle. The structural logic explains the SOF/JSOC security-and-transport role. Pentagon/AARO deny; no verified evidence.
