The Age of Disclosure

On Capitol Hill today,

a bipartisan call for more government transparency on UFOs,

or as the military calls them, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, UAPs.

The objects have been detected essentially where all operations,

Navy operations are being conducted across the world.

The technology that we faced was far superior

than anything we have currently or we're gonna have in the next 20 years.

Unidentified aerial phenomena are a potential national security threat

and they need to be treated that way.

United States government has gathered a great deal of information

about UAPs over many decades,

but has refused to share it with the American people.

That is wrong, and additionally, it breeds mistrust.

I spent 11 years in the US Navy as a fighter pilot.

For 18 years, I flew fighters for the US Navy.

I spent 20 years working in the US intelligence community.

I served as the fourth Director of National Intelligence.

I spent 25 years as a senior official with the CIA.

I retired from the Navy as a one-star admiral after 32 years of service.

I worked on highly classified UAP programs for the government as a senior scientist.

I spent 32 years in and out of government in national security.

I've worked 28 years as an astrophysicist on highly classified UAP programs

for the United States government and for the defense industry.

I'm a professor in the department of pathology

at Stanford University School of Medicine.

And for the last ten years or so,

I've been working with the Department of Defense

and people in the CIA on the UAP topic.

I've come to the conclusion that we are not only not alone in the universe,

but we have been discovered

by an intelligence from some other part of the universe.

There's evidence we are not alone.

Humanity is not the only intelligent species in the universe.

We're not alone in the universe.

I wouldn't be so arrogant to suggest

there are no other forms of life out there.

Humanity is not the only intelligence in the universe.

UAPs are real. They're here and they're not human.

There are other intelligences that have highly advanced exotic craft

interacting with the human population.

They are here. This is real. It's happening. It's happening now.

Non-human intelligence exists.

It's been interacting with humanity

and it's been doing so on this planet for a long time.

We are not the only intelligent life form in the universe.

There's something here on the planet with us that is intelligent

and more intelligent than us.

This is the biggest discovery in human history.

My name is Lue Elizondo. In 2009, my life changed forever.

That's when I was recruited into a highly sensitive government program

that investigated Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, UAP,

also commonly known as UFOs.

My work for the US government goes back

almost 30 years to when I joined the US Army.

From there, I had the good fortune

of being recruited into various programs within military intelligence.

During my career, I served my country

around the world, managing and directing missions,

including counter-narcotics, counter-espionage,

counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency.

And it was later in my career that I actually began running

special access programs for the US government,

and in some cases reported directly to the White House

and the National Security Council.

My name is Jay Stratton,

and for over 16 years on behalf of the US government,

I worked as a senior intelligence official on the UAP topic.

I joined the Army at the age of 17 and left for a career

in military intelligence with eight combat deployments,

including Iraq and Afghanistan.

After the Army, I joined Naval Intelligence,

and then I transitioned to the Defense Intelligence Agency,

where I was the chief of air and space warfare

inside of the Defense Warning office.

It was at the DIA that my colleagues and I started getting reports

of what are now called UAP.

We went all over the government, pentagon, every intelligence agency,

anywhere we could think to try to find the UAP program, assuming there was one.

As far as we could tell,

no one in the United States government had a UAP program,

so my colleagues and I began a new program,

which ultimately became AATIP.

The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, AATIP.

The funding for this effort was sponsored by

then Senate majority leader Senator Harry Reid.

And together myself, Jay Stratton and our team

for nearly a decade investigated UAP incidents around the world.

Based on hard evidence and data,

we learned that UAPs present serious national security concerns

and a potential existential threat.

Simply put, transmedium crafts,

vehicles that have the capability to operate in space, air,

and water, and seemingly defy all that humanity knows about physics

have been operating with complete impunity around the world since at least the 1940s.

At AATIP, we had access to some of the most sensitive videos

in the Department of Defense inventory.

If you could be in my shoes and see what I've seen, and folks like Jay Stratton,

there would be zero shadow of a doubt that these things are real

and they are not made by humans.

The things that I've seen, the clearest videos,

the best evidence that we have

that these are non-human intelligence remain classified.

The classified data that we had access to

when we joined the program was indisputable.

There's 80 years of this data that the public isn't even aware of.

I have seen with my own eyes non-human craft and non-human beings.

For 23 years and ten months,

I was in the United States Air Force as an A-10 pilot.

And while I was at NORAD,

I witnessed an event that I will remember forever.

There was a unknown object we were tracking on radars.

And the commander says, "I want that target."

That means intercept it.

Fighters all the way down the eastern seaboard were scrambled,

and none of the fighters were successful in intercepting or running it down.

We were unable to maintain air sovereignty over North America.

On November 14th, 2004, we were onboard the USS Nimitz,

which is a nuclear aircraft carrier.

I was the most senior person in the squadron flying.

I had launched off Nimitz to do

an air defense exercise off the coast of San Diego, California.

And I ended up chasing a UAP known as the Tic Tac UAP.

It was about 40 feet long and just sitting there in space.

You can see it start to accelerate. And as it gets in front of us, it's gone.

This thing was doing 32,000 miles an hour,

so obviously that technology is not the United States.

As we were watching this Tic Tac object

maneuver in this bizarre way,

it was obvious that it wasn't conventional.

This was defying those laws of physics,

laws of gravity that as pilots we live and die by.

We literally had these things stalking Navy vessels on deployment.

The frequency in which UAP were being reported to us was increasing.

They were ubiquitous. We were seeing them nearly daily.

My gosh, there's a whole fleet of 'em. Look on the SA!

And then we actually almost had a midair with one of these objects.

This now became a safety issue.

Two aircraft from my squadron were flying in close proximity to each other

in section formation, so about 150 feet apart or so.

One of these objects went right in between those two aircraft,

right past the lead aircraft.

The lead aircraft was visually able to see the object,

and he simply described it as a dark gray or a black cube inside of a clear sphere.

To be clear,

non-human intelligence has been actively conducting

ISR, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance

of some of our most sensitive US military facilities and nuclear sites.

They have both deactivated and activated nuclear weapons

with both the United States and Russia.

The nuclear weapons that were activated in Russia were pointed at us,

and from that perspective, the stakes really could not be any higher.

This is an emerging and disruptive threat for the US

and truly a national security concern.

By the way, this isn't just happening here in the US.

It's happening all over the world and occurring with greater frequency.

When I met Lue Elizondo in the Pentagon,

he made me aware not only that this phenomenon was real,

but it was an ongoing persistent phenomenon.

The Secretary of Defense didn't know, the Congress didn't know,

senior policymakers didn't know,

and nobody was doing anything about it other than Lue

and a handful of colleagues.

I was shocked and I was stunned,

and immediately was concerned about

intelligence failures that have occurred in the past

and the disasters that have ensued,

and determined immediately to do whatever I could to help get Lue

to the Secretary of Defense to move that information forward.

Each time Jay and I and others tried to raise the alarm bells

and bring this issue up to the appropriate level,

we were met with fierce resistance.

The stigma alone and the taboo of the topic,

the historical association of "UFOs" was something that

for most people in leadership positions was too big of a pill to swallow.

In fact, the stigma was so strong that people either believed, A,

the topic wasn't real, or B,

the stigma was going to somehow taint or tarnish their career,

so they didn't want to touch it.

We couldn't get the leadership in the Pentagon

to look at the actual scientific data

that showed that there is a strong national security threat.

They were more worried about the impact on their reputation

than they were about the safety of the nation.

On top of that,

we were shocked to find we were getting pushback from people in the Pentagon

based on their religious beliefs.

There really were religious fundamentalist extremists with in the Pentagon

that had a severe adversity to this topic.

These are national security experts,

senior members of the national intelligence community

who are putting their religion above national security.

A senior DOD official actually stopped me in the hallways in the Pentagon

and told me that we were doing the devil's work.

I had to deal with people who were senior to me who were telling me

in their world that these are demons, and we are poking demons

and messing in Satan's world and all these other things.

I was like, "I can't believe this is coming out of your mouth."

I'm briefing about an advanced aerospace vehicle that has been detected

on multiple sensors that's absolutely there,

and you're telling me that you think these are demons
