Ex-Pentagon Official: The U.S Isn't Telling The Truth! Top-Secret UFO Encounters Finally Uncovered! They're Trying To Silence Us!

Luis Elizondo (0:00)

We are absolutely not alone in the universe. And I know these things are real, because I was asked to investigate UFO incursions into controlled US airspace by the Pentagon. These videos here, there's no question what you're seeing.

Steven Bartlett (0:10)

And there's more videos like this that you've been exposed to.

Luis Elizondo (0:13)

Oh, yeah. But they're classified, because there's a lot of people that don't want us talking about this.

Steven Bartlett (0:17)

Should we be worried about this?

SPEAKER_3 (0:20)

Luis Elizondo is a respected intelligence officer and former head of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, where he led efforts to investigate UFO sightings and unidentified aerial phenomena.

Luis Elizondo (0:31)

There were real things that we were encountering over controlled US airspace by an unknown technology that frankly could outperform anything that we had in our inventory. And there was a big national security issue, because there's potential for these things to be interfering with our nuclear equities.

Steven Bartlett (0:45)

There's evidence to suggest that they turned on the nuclear facilities in Russia, right?

Luis Elizondo (0:48)

Yeah, that's a big deal.

Steven Bartlett (0:50)

But has there ever been anyone sent to jail because they've spoken about this subject matter?

Luis Elizondo (0:53)

Worse. My life has been threatened many times, taking huge risks. But I think we deserve the truth. So let's go.

Steven Bartlett (1:00)

People say that they were abducted by aliens. Do you believe any of those reports?

Luis Elizondo (1:03)

I can tell you that we definitely have people that are now on US government medical disability because they were involved in a UFO encounter.

Steven Bartlett (1:09)

And then one of the rumors is that at Area 51 they found UFO materials.

Luis Elizondo (1:13)

I cannot comment what Area 51 might or might not have. All I can say is that the government is in possession of material that doesn't look like it's made by us.

Steven Bartlett (1:21)

Do you have any theories as to why they might be visiting here?

Luis Elizondo (1:23)

Oh gosh, well, where do I start?

Steven Bartlett (1:25)

You eventually resigned. Why?

Luis Elizondo (1:27)

I resigned in protest because...

Steven Bartlett (1:37)

Steve, who are you?

Luis Elizondo (1:40)

Wow, it depends who you ask. I think to some people, I'm probably a patriot. To other people, I'm a father and a husband, and to other people, I'm probably the devil.

Steven Bartlett (1:56)

What's your professional CV? What does your professional resume say?

Luis Elizondo (1:59)

Went to college, went to the University of Miami. I studied Microbiology, Immunology, and Parasitology. I consider myself a disciple of the scientific method and scientific principles. I then joined the Army, United States Army. I went in as enlisted. I had an opportunity to go in as an officer because of my education. But the words of my father always rung in the back of my head, and he said, in order to be a leader, you must first know what it means to follow.

And so I joined the Army as an enlisted soldier, spent some time in deployments, Korea, lived a year in Asia, was in military intelligence, and then I was recruited very shortly thereafter into a special program where I became a civilian special agent in counterintelligence running investigations, supervised investigations throughout Latin America, South America, Central America, and then spent the rest of my time after 9-11 over in Afghanistan and the Middle East primarily dealing with terrorism issues, running operations against Hezbollah and ISIS and other organizations. Then after probably several years of that, my wife got very tired of it. Missed too many birthdays, missed too many holidays, and she said, you really need to come back, and more importantly, I'm afraid the next time you leave, you may not come back. We were losing some people over there quite a bit, and so I listened to my wife. I came back, took a supervisory job, ran investigations worldwide, terrorism investigations, and then from there, I went to several other three-letter agencies. I worked for the NCIX, National Counterintelligence Executive. I worked for the DNI, the Director Of National Intelligence, and it was in 2000, shortly thereafter, that I was asked to be part of a very interesting program in the Pentagon. What my CV is, I'm probably a jack of all trades, but an expert in nothing. I've done a lot of things, mostly national security crimes, terrorism, espionage, some counter guerrilla operations, counter narcotics, counterinsurgency missions.

You said in 2008, 2009, you were asked to come back to the Pentagon to work on a particular project. What project was that?
