#2194 - Luis Elizondo

And I think for me, I was probably in the second category, more of a slow, gradual realization that – This isn't a cover for something else. This is really about UFOs.

Well, so I didn't get introduced to these things. First of all, I was introduced to the reporting. So there was these official reports that we were getting from the field. There's official videos and whatnot that describe vehicles. doing things, maneuvering in ways that, frankly, outperform anything we have in our inventory. Now, keep in mind, my background was at some point in aerospace.

So I knew all the capabilities of an F-16 or, for example, an F-22 or the F-35. And at the end of the day, as advanced as they are, they're still conventional aircraft. You know, they still have the old, there's an adage they use for jet engines. It may seem a little awkward here, but it's suck, squeeze, bang, and blow. That's what a jet engine does. Forgive me. That's what it does.

It's a conventional type engine. Of course, you have a propeller, too, that can displace air and whatnot. These vehicles were different. These vehicles, for the most part, didn't have any type of associated characteristic that you or I or any normal person would associate with. with the plane, with an airplane, an aircraft, right? And yet it's flying. So how does an airplane work?

Well, let's say this cigar, for example, is an airplane and there's four fundamental forces. And so you have thrust, lift, drag, and weight. And if you understand those, you can create, you can build wings and you create lift and you can fly. And then you have to have an engine for that thrust and whatnot. The things that our military pilots were encountering didn't have that.

They didn't have wings. They didn't have rudders and ailerons and control surfaces. They didn't have cockpits. They didn't have engines. There were no obvious signs of propulsion. They were doing things and maneuvering in ways that, frankly, defied anything that we had in our inventory. And we were pretty certain the enemies didn't have either. Our adversary didn't have these technologies either.

And even more perplexing is that they were being encountered over controlled U.S. airspace and over sensitive military installations. So, you know, from that perspective, you've got a real national security concern on your hands. Yeah. So you said video.

Boy, there's so many. I think part of the challenge is that most people here in this country, they're familiar with the three videos that have been famously released by the Pentagon. The Go Fast. Go Fast, Gimbal, FLIR, correct. But those are the least compelling of all the videos that the government has. Those were unclassified.
