Is the U.S. government

covering up the truth about alien contact?

And if so, why?

The government seems to be completely unaccountable

to the American public.

They rarely release anything

that they know or their findings.

The fact that the U.S. government has

investigated thousands and thousands of reports

leads me to think they know much more

than they let us believe.

Could the government have a secret agenda,

one known to only a select few,

and perhaps dating back hundreds of years?

The government's program continues

to be deny, deny, deny.

Sometimes, government finds it helpful

to sow seeds of disinformation and misinformation

to hide the facts about these sorts of programs.

Hillary Clinton was basically saying,

"You are going to give me the information I need"

to disclose the extraterrestrial presence,

"or I'm gonna fire every single one of you."

People want to know what the government knows,

and they ought to know what the government knows.

On December 16th, 2017,

The New York Times ran an explosive story

entitled "Glowing Auras and 'Black Money':"

The Pentagon's Mysterious UFO Program."

It was the first time the American public learned

of a top secret U.S. government project,

the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program,

otherwise known as AATIP.

The revelations concerning the existence

of the Pentagon's AATIP program are extraordinary.

It is the single biggest ever news

in the whole history of the UFO phenomenon.

It's not quite a spaceship in a hangar smoking gun,

but it's the closest we've ever been.

I assure you that nothing like this has ever happened

in the history of this issue.

This is a milestone. This is a watershed.

The article reported that the program had been run

by a former Pentagon official named Luis Elizondo,

a senior career intelligence officer

with top security clearance and with experience in everything

from microbiology and parasitology

to the study of global terrorism.

It was Elizondo's job to investigate reports

of unidentified flying objects,

and to measure what threat they could pose to national security.

AATIP received these cases from various different channels.

In some cases, reporting would come up through Navy channels.

In other cases, it would come up through Air Force channels.

In other cases, it would come through

the intelligence community, and all roads led to our office,

regarding the phenomena.

Elizondo played a key role

in the government's top secret AATIP program

prior to his leaving the government in 2017.

Among the reasons given for his departure was the bitterness

he felt that the research he was conducting,

and the conclusions that he and his colleagues were reaching,

were not being taken seriously

by other agencies within the government.

Even Congress, to which AATIP owed its funding,

was hard-pressed to give Elizondo so much as a hearing

so that his findings could be made part of the public record.

Interestingly, just two months

after Elizondo's exit from the government,

The New York Times broke the major story,

exposing the AATIP program and many of the facts

surrounding the government's secret research

into UFO activity.

When I read in The New York Times this front page story

that the government was running this semi-secret program

to investigate, well, aerial phenomena,

which is kind of a code word for UFOs,

yeah, you know, I thought, "My God, all these years,

"you know, people who think that we're being visited

"were claiming that the government was, in fact,

"possessing some secret knowledge about this.

And, sure enough, they did have this secret investigation."

For Luis Elizondo, The New York Times article

served as a vindication

for the years that his research went unrecognized

and his warnings unheeded.

For if the UFO activity being recorded was real,

so, too, was the possibility that it was being caused

by technologies that were not only unknown,

but of extraterrestrial origin.

Elizondo, he resigned because he felt

the government considered this a joke.

I think that the fact that these folks are out there

trying to get the answers that we're all seeking,

absolutely fantastic.

And they're getting to top government officials.

And someday, we're gonna get the answers

from people like that...

Not from government, but from people like that.

Luckily for Luis Elizondo,

one of the people who took him and his research seriously

was musician and UFO researcher Tom DeLonge.

Tom DeLonge, who is most famous

for his being the lead in Blink-182.

I've known Tom for a while, and he spearheaded an initiative

that's brought together a number of scientists and others

to both continue to study the phenomena on the outside,

in the private sector, and to raise funds to do that.

His enthusiasm, his passion

has driven things forward.

A lot of people were saying,

"What does a rock star know about all this?"

Let's not forget that sometimes even people in government

and military and the intelligence community

get a little more starstruck than they should by celebrities.

Tom DeLonge was able to use this to leverage, I guess, access

where others had tried and failed.

In October 2017,

Tom DeLonge announced the creation

of his To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science,

an organization devoted to the study of UFOs

and the possible existence of extraterrestrial activity

here on Earth.

When Elizondo left the Pentagon, he was determined

to bring AATIP's years of investigation out of the shadows

by releasing several of the videos he had collected.

One of them featured this incredible encounter,

taken by a fighter jet in Florida in 2015,

now known as the Gimbal video.

On December 18, 2017,

DeLonge and Elizondo revealed a second shocking video

which was released through The Washington Post.

This UFO had been tracked by the USS Princeton

for several days over the Pacific Ocean,

approximately 100 miles southwest of San Diego.

On the screen, it also says the speed of the F-18

is 250 knots, roughly about 280 miles per hour.

This F-18 can't seem to get any closer

to this vehicle, whatever it is.

Now, the F-18's one of the highest technology

fighter crafts on the planet.

And it can't catch this thing?

When it darts offscreen to the left,

it would be going extremely fast.

The g-forces would turn a person inside it

into, like, tapioca pudding.

I mean, it would kill them.

In March 2018,

a third Pentagon video entitled "Go Fast" was released,

and featured yet another unexplained aerial encounter.

But perhaps the most shocking information

to come from Tom DeLonge and his To The Stars Academy was

Luis Elizondo's claim that Bigelow Aerospace had modified

its buildings for the storage of strange metal alloys

of unknown origin, also known as metamaterials.

Now, hold, stop the presses right there.

What are these metal alloys?

Luis Elizondo has referred

to these as "meta materials."

The implication is that they're not special magical elements,

or anything, but they do seem to be

materials that have been studied.

According to Elizondo, tests have been run.

The answer has come back:

whatever these things were, they came from space.

There was also indications

that there were certain polymers

that were discovered at crash sites

that were unexplained and were reviewed.

You know, for years and years,

UFO researchers had talked about crash retrievals of UFOs,

or that elements of these objects

had been recovered and were being studied.

And skeptics would laugh at these claims.

You know, how ridiculous

such conspiracy paranoid fantasies were.

Well, guess what.

Now we have it confirmed.

What are these materials?

Are they of this Earth?

Are they from an advanced alien intelligence?

Were these metals actually taken from crashed UFOs?

What are the sources for these kinds of metals?

These are the kind of questions that we need to learn

the answers to if we're gonna get to the bottom

of understanding what the government knows about UFOs.

Is it possible that the U.S. military has recovered

crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft,

and that wreckage from these aircraft

is currently being stored and studied

by a top-secret team at Bigelow Aerospace?

One of the really interesting things about AATIP

is how much information hasn't been released.

We hear things that are coming.

There's this report that was written

that we're supposed to get to see at some point.

Haven't seen it yet.

And then, are there more videos?

We've seen, I think, three videos come out
