Ex-Pentagon official says US recovered non-human specimens tied to UFOs
Luis Elizondo, a former Pentagon officer, has made startling allegations about the recovery of non-human life forms by the US government. In an interview with News Nation, Elizondo stated that these recoveries were part of a top-secret spacecraft crash retrieval program. He further claimed that one of these spacecrafts is from the alleged 1947 unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) crash in Roswell, New Mexico.
Elizondo's claims extend beyond spacecrafts
Elizondo, who previously led the Pentagon's unclassified division devoted to UFO investigations, asserted that the US government's interest extends beyond just the spacecrafts. He told News Nation, "We as a nation have been interested in not only the vehicles themselves but the occupants of these vehicles; to include biological specimens." "We are not alone in this universe and it is a simple fact. The US government has been aware of that fact for decades."
Alleged removal of 'technical device' post-UAP encounter
Elizondo also shared an unusual incident involving a "technical device" that was allegedly removed from a US military service member following a UAP encounter. He described how this object behaved strangely when it was being removed, stating, "The physician claimed that the object tried to run on him or evade being excised." This claim adds another layer of intrigue to his allegations about the government's dealings with potential extraterrestrial entities.
DoD denies Elizondo's claims of extraterrestrial activity
The Department of Defense (DoD) has categorically denied Elizondo's claims. A spokesperson for the department, Sue Gough, told News Nation that there is no "credible evidence of extraterrestrial activity." She further stated that the DoD is committed to transparency and accountability but must also protect sensitive information. Gough also refuted Elizondo's alleged involvement with the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP).
Background and role in AATIP
Elizondo, who holds degrees in microbiology and immunology from the University of Miami, served as a special agent in counterintelligence after his military service. In 2008, he joined the Pentagon and was later recruited into the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). He claims that his role involved investigating UAP reports primarily from the Navy. Despite official denials of his involvement with AATIP, Elizondo maintains that he was part of this program.
