Are UFOs in the Bible? Exploring the Link Between Angels and Extraterrestrials
Are UFOs in the Bible? Exploring the Link Between Angels and Extraterrestrials
The intersection of religious belief and extraterrestrial life has long intrigued both theologians and enthusiasts of the unexplained. This curiosity often leads to the question: could the Bible contain references to what we now describe as UFOs or extraterrestrial beings? A recent discussion, featuring U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett and theologian Dr. Paul Thigpen, delved into this very topic, exploring the possibility that some biblical accounts could be interpreted as encounters with non-human intelligence, perhaps even extraterrestrial.
Biblical References to Anomalous Phenomena
Several passages in the Bible describe events that, to a modern reader, might seem reminiscent of UFO sightings. For example, the book of Ezekiel recounts a vision in which the prophet sees a “whirlwind coming out of the north, a great cloud with a raging fire engulfing itself” (Ezekiel 1:4). Within this cloud were creatures with an extraordinary appearance, leading some to speculate whether this could be an ancient description of a UFO encounter.

Similarly, the account of Elijah being taken up into heaven in a “whirlwind” with “chariots of fire” (2 Kings 2:11) has also been cited as a possible reference to extraterrestrial technology. The imagery used in these passages—wheels within wheels, flying chariots, and bright lights—bears a striking resemblance to descriptions of unidentified flying objects in modern times.
Theological Interpretations
Congressman Burchett, a devout Christian, expressed that he has no difficulty reconciling his faith with the possibility of extraterrestrial life. He argues that the vastness of God’s creation could easily encompass other life forms beyond Earth, and that such beings might have been referenced in the Bible using the language and understanding of the time. For Burchett, the idea that Ezekiel’s vision could describe a UFO does not weaken his faith; rather, it broadens his perspective on the universe’s complexity.
Dr. Paul Thigpen, on the other hand, approaches the subject with caution. He acknowledges that the Bible does describe non-human intelligences, such as angels and demons, but he is hesitant to equate these beings with extraterrestrials as understood in contemporary UFO lore. Thigpen emphasizes that biblical references to angels and other supernatural entities should be interpreted within the context of their religious significance, not necessarily as evidence of alien encounters.
The Debate Over Angels and Aliens
The conversation between Burchett and Thigpen highlights a broader debate within both religious and UFO communities: are angels and other biblical beings simply manifestations of divine power, or could they be visitors from other worlds? The traditional Christian view holds that angels are purely spiritual beings created by God, distinct from any physical extraterrestrial life forms. These beings do not have bodies and do not exist within our space-time in the way that humans or hypothetical aliens might.
However, the overlap between descriptions of angels and modern UFO encounters has led some to speculate that biblical accounts could be ancient interpretations of alien visitations. This theory posits that the “angels” seen by biblical figures might have been beings from another planet, whose advanced technology and abilities were interpreted as divine or supernatural.
UFOs and the Vatican
The discussion also touched on the Catholic Church’s stance on extraterrestrial life. Historically, the Vatican has shown a keen interest in astronomy, and some Popes have even entertained the possibility of life beyond Earth. Pope John Paul II, when asked about aliens, responded that “they are God’s children too,” suggesting an openness to the idea that other intelligent beings could exist within God’s creation.
Additionally, there have been claims, such as those mentioned by David Grusch, a former U.S. intelligence officer, that the Vatican might have been involved in secret activities related to UFOs, including the transfer of alleged extraterrestrial technology during World War II. While these claims remain unproven, they add another layer of intrigue to the conversation about religion and extraterrestrial life.
Conclusion: A Broader Perspective on Faith and the Universe
The idea that the Bible might contain references to UFOs or extraterrestrials is a fascinating one that challenges traditional interpretations of religious texts. For some, like Congressman Burchett, this possibility enhances the awe of God’s creation, suggesting that humanity is not alone in the universe. For others, like Dr. Thigpen, it is important to maintain a distinction between spiritual beings as described in the Bible and the physical entities that might exist elsewhere in the cosmos.
Ultimately, the discussion about angels, aliens, and UFOs in the Bible invites believers and skeptics alike to explore the mysteries of faith and the universe with an open mind. Whether these biblical passages are read as metaphorical, spiritual, or literal accounts, they continue to inspire curiosity and wonder about our place in the vastness of creation.

Hey everyone, hope all is well. I ran three more UFO photos from three sightings through ai and found the sharpened images very impressive. The objects were defiantly 100% proof a an actual flying craft. Who is flying it is another issue. They could be flown by aliens, US military, drones and so on. But I don't feel any US pilot would fly such top secret craft over public locations, so I rule that out. Aliens also have ai drones flying around our planet, because why risk their lives when they can risk a drone instead?
Pentagon Insider Reveals: Could UFOs Originate from Earth’s Oceans?
Pentagon Insider Reveals: Could UFOs Originate from Earth’s Oceans?
The debate over the origins of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), often referred to as UFOs, has taken a fascinating turn with insights from Luis Elizondo, a former Pentagon insider. Elizondo, who led the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), has been at the forefront of public discussions on UAPs. In recent interviews, he has proposed thought-provoking ideas about where these mysterious objects might come from, challenging the traditional view that they are extraterrestrial in origin.
Beyond Outer Space: Exploring New Possibilities
While many have speculated that UAPs are spacecraft from distant galaxies, Elizondo encourages a broader perspective. “They can be from outer space, inner space, or, frankly, the space in between,” he explained. This statement suggests that UAPs might not just be visitors from another planet. Instead, they could be natural phenomena or entities originating from environments closer to home, such as Earth’s oceans.
Elizondo highlights the possibility that UAPs could be linked to unknown forms of life or technology residing in the depths of our oceans. The ocean is one of the least explored regions of our planet, and it’s conceivable that advanced or unknown species could thrive there. This perspective aligns with recent reports of UAPs being observed near large bodies of water, raising questions about their connection to the deep sea
The USS Nimitz and USS Roosevelt Incidents
Two of the most well-known UAP encounters involving the U.S. military—the USS Nimitz in 2004 and the USS Roosevelt in 2015—offer compelling evidence of these mysterious objects’ capabilities. In both cases, Navy pilots observed and recorded UAPs that demonstrated extraordinary flight characteristics, such as rapid acceleration and abrupt changes in altitude. These objects, described as “tic-tac” shaped, were able to hover just above the ocean’s surface before rapidly ascending, further fueling speculation about their connection to Earth’s oceans.
Elizondo did not see the footage from the USS Nimitz encounter until 2009, and when similar incidents occurred with the USS Roosevelt in 2015, they caught the attention of other high-ranking officials, including Chris Mellon, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense. Mellon and others have expressed concern about the potential national security risks posed by these UAPs, particularly given their proximity to sensitive military assets.
Nuclear Connections and Military Concerns
Another intriguing aspect of UAP activity is their apparent interest in nuclear-powered facilities and weapons systems. Both the USS Nimitz and USS Roosevelt are nuclear-powered vessels, and Elizondo has noted that UAPs have often been observed near American nuclear sites. This recurring pattern suggests that UAPs might have a particular interest in nuclear technology, though the reasons for this remain unclear.
In response to these encounters, the Pentagon has explored various methods to counteract or capture UAPs. One proposal, known as Operation Interloper, involved creating a nuclear “footprint” to attract UAPs and then using electromagnetic pulses to disable them. However, this plan was ultimately shelved, leading to speculation that higher authorities may have been reluctant to pursue it, possibly due to already having knowledge about these phenomena or not wanting to provoke them.
The Search for Answers Continues
Elizondo’s insights challenge us to expand our thinking about UAPs and their possible origins. Whether they are advanced technologies from another world, natural phenomena from the depths of our oceans, or something entirely different, the mystery of UAPs remains unsolved. What is clear, however, is that these objects have captured the attention of the highest levels of the U.S. government and military, and the search for answers is far from over.
As investigations continue, Elizondo’s call to consider all possibilities reminds us that the truth about UAPs might be more complex—and closer to home—than we ever imagined.

Hey all, I used ai to sharpen the detail of three famous UFO sightings, and it was very interesting. The detail is just fantastic and it really cleans out the fuzziness and blur most the time. Take a look at the video below and tell me your thoughts.
The wide open spaces of Montana have been named the top spot where you are most likely to have a close encounter, as half of locals claim to have seen a UFO.
Half (exactly 50 percent) of the residents of this western state — often called 'Big Sky Country' — also reported that they 'believe in UFOs,' a new study claims.

Delaware took second place, with 80 percent of locals admitting to believing in UFOs, but zero reported they had actually seen strange craft or odd lights in the sky.
Other chart-toppers included the state of Massachusetts, as data collected from Google searches shows that the New England state is the most UFO-obsessed in America, with 13,750 monthly Google queries related to the topic (or 19.64 searches per 10,000 people). But New York and New Jersey were not far behind.
The Google search terms incorporated in this analysis included 'UFO sighting,' 'Are UFOs real' and 'UFO video,' among others.
New York's 37,260 monthly UFO-related search queries divided into 19.04 per 10,000 residents, showing that this seemingly high number needed to be adjusted for population density.
New Jersey's 16,820 UFO searches came to 18.1 per 10,000 people, ranking it third.
Despite stereotypes of repeated 'alien abduction' cases in rural America, South Dakota, Arkansas and Louisiana were all ranked at the bottom for search term interest in the phenomena.
South Dakota came in dead last in UFO interest, with only 850 monthly searches, or 9.25 per 10,000 residents.
The findings are sure to be a surprise to residents of Nevada, home to the legendary classified US Air Force base and UFO mainstay Area 51: their state did not even crack the Top 10 in this new study. Above, an alien or an extraterrestrial man

Arkansas placed second with 2,870 UFO Google searches, or 9.36 per 10,000 people in state; followed by Louisiana with 4,300 searches or 9.4 per 10,000 residents.
Collectively, one full quarter of all Americans (25 percent) admitted to believing in UFOs, according to survey data.
The number was intriguingly higher than those who were actually willing to admit that they have seen one: only 7 percent self-reported that they had personally witnessed a UFO in the study's surveys.
The total UFO sightings, according to data from the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), as used in the new study, was 132,850 last year.
The new study incorporated a range of metrics to determine which state gave locals and visitors the highest chance of seeing a UFO: including UFO sightings via NUFORC, data on light pollution levels, and survey data from 2,057 people on topics related to UFO encounters across each US state.
The project was sponsored by JackpotCity Casino for reasons that have not yet been fully disclosed.
But the adjustments based on light pollution, statewide population density, and survey data significantly altered the findings when compared to NUFORC's raw UFO sighting figures.
California, for example, would have otherwise topped the list with a staggering 16,354 UFO sightings in total reported to NUFORC.
But the state's high light pollution (57.37) and meager 7 percent of citizens who reported having seen a UFO themselves in the study's survey data weighed down the Golden State's ultimate ranking.
Nevertheless, California's skies remain a magnet for mysterious objects and nearly a quarter, about 24 percent, of its people want to 'believe in UFOs.'

AI Corrects Six Billy Meier UFO Earliest Photos 1970s, Do You Believe Him? UAP Sighting News. Video!
Now I have lived over 5 decades and I can honestly say that I see the publics opinions of UFO sway with that of TV how hosts opinion rather than decide for themselves. I decided to take some of the earliest photos of Billy Meier of Switzerland and see for myself using AI to detect anomalies and focus everything. All went well until the last of the photos, when I ai detected something strange, a white line above a UFO, not that of an antenna, because the UFO was tilted and any center antenna would also be tilted, this was as if something were holding onto the UFO from above. You watch and decide for yourself. But in my opinion, most the earlier photos are real, but due to social pressure, Billy may have resorted to faking later sightings for personal gain.
Unveiling UFO Secrets: Lue Elizondo’s Revelations in Ross Coulthart Interview
Unveiling UFO Secrets: Lue Elizondo’s Revelations in Ross Coulthart Interview
In recent years, the topic of UFOs, now referred to as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), has shifted from the fringes of science fiction to the forefront of public discourse. One key figure at the center of this conversation is Luis “Lue” Elizondo, a former Pentagon insider who led investigations into UAPs. His revelations have stirred significant interest and concern, particularly about what the U.S. government might know—and what it may be hiding—about these mysterious objects.
In an interview with Ross Coulthart, Elizondo delved into his experiences, shedding light on his journey from a senior intelligence officer to one of the most important voices in the modern UFO movement. His story is not just about unidentified flying objects; it’s about government secrecy, personal sacrifice, and the potential implications for humanity.
The Road to UAP Investigations
Elizondo’s journey into the world of UAPs began unexpectedly. In 2009, while working as an intelligence operations specialist for the Department of Defense, he was introduced to the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program (AWSAP), which investigated advanced weaponry and technologies. It was here that Elizondo first encountered the topic of UAPs. A senior colleague bluntly asked him about his thoughts on UFOs, a subject that had never piqued his interest before. However, this conversation marked the beginning of his deep dive into the mysterious and often unsettling world of UAP investigations.
Soon, Elizondo joined the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), where he encountered cases that challenged his understanding of reality. One such instance involved reports from the Brazilian Air Force, where townspeople in Calores claimed they were being harmed by UAPs. These accounts, once dismissed as folklore, were substantiated by military investigations, convincing Elizondo that there was more to the UAP phenomenon than mere legend.
UAPs: More Than Just Myths
Elizondo’s investigations led him to some of the most famous UFO cases in history, including the 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico. According to Elizondo, what happened in Roswell was not just a crash of an unknown craft but a significant event where non-human technology was recovered. While such claims may sound outlandish, Elizondo insists that they are rooted in reality.
Moreover, his research suggested that UAPs might not be as benign as some hope. Military personnel who encountered these phenomena reported being injured or traumatized, raising concerns about the true nature and intent of these unidentified objects. The Veterans Administration has even granted disability benefits to service members who suffered injuries during UAP encounters, further validating the seriousness of these incidents.
The Government’s Role and the Secrecy Surrounding UAPs
One of the most controversial aspects of Elizondo’s work is his claim that the U.S. government has been actively involved in recovering and studying UAPs for decades. He alleges that military programs have not only retrieved alien technology but have also encountered non-human entities. However, these claims have been met with stiff resistance from within the government.
Elizondo recounts facing significant obstacles during his time at the Pentagon. He believes that powerful forces within the government, possibly driven by religious beliefs or geopolitical concerns, have deliberately stymied efforts to investigate UAPs. This resistance culminated in threats against him and others involved in UAP research, leading Elizondo to make the difficult decision to resign and go public with his findings.
Public Disclosure and Its Challenges
In 2017, Elizondo took the bold step of resigning from his Pentagon position and sharing his knowledge with the world. His revelations, coupled with the release of now-famous UAP videos from the USS Nimitz and USS Roosevelt, sparked a media frenzy and reignited public interest in UFOs. These videos, which showed objects performing maneuvers beyond the capabilities of known technology, have become central to the ongoing UAP debate.
Despite the increased attention, Elizondo and others who have come forward with similar claims have faced intense scrutiny and efforts to discredit them. The Pentagon has publicly denied Elizondo’s role in AATIP and questioned the authenticity of his claims. Yet, he remains undeterred, believing that the truth will eventually prevail.
The Future of UAP Research
Elizondo’s efforts have not been in vain. His work has contributed to a shift in how UAPs are perceived, both within the government and by the public. In 2022, legislation was passed to create a UAP office within the Department of Defense, now known as the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). This office is tasked with investigating UAP encounters and reporting its findings to Congress, marking a significant step towards transparency.
While Elizondo acknowledges that full disclosure is a gradual process, he remains hopeful. He believes that the next generation will play a crucial role in uncovering the truth about UAPs and their implications for humanity. For now, he encourages citizens to stay engaged, ask questions, and hold their leaders accountable.
Lue Elizondo’s journey from a Pentagon insider to a public advocate for UAP disclosure is a testament to his dedication to uncovering the truth. His experiences highlight the complexities of the UAP phenomenon and the challenges of investigating it within a framework of government secrecy and skepticism. As the conversation around UAPs continues to evolve, Elizondo’s voice remains a critical one, urging both caution and curiosity as humanity grapples with the possibility that we are not alone in the universe.
Panicked locals in two cities north of Los Angeles,California, piled onto Amazon's Ring neighbors app to report UFOs that 'zig zagged' and hovered over the weekend.
Their reports of a 'bright light' that looked like 'a shooting star' but acted more like a 'hovercraft' sparked shockwaves across social media — alongside the emergence of eerie cell phone videos that purported to capture some of these six alleged craft.
But a wide community of experts, including UFO researchers with Harvard's Galileo Project, told DailyMail.com that the videos were most likely 'an intentional hoax.'
The videos appeared to show drone swarms used in an LED light show thousands of miles away from California, based on landmarks and other visual cues, they said.
And some of these UFO videos were paired with old and unrelated audio tracks passed off as the videos' own.
Above, a clip from one of two videos purporting to be from the August 16, 2024 UFO sightings reported in California's Palmdale-Lancaster area, in the high desert north of LA
'The patterns of longitudinal lights are well-organized. This could be drone swarms.'
However, he admitted: 'The quality of the video doesn’t give us much to work with.'
Further assessments, by Tedesco and others, only added to those suspicions, suggesting the videos weren't related to the initial UFO reports north of LA at all.
The social media frenzy first started online the morning of Saturday, August 17, apparently spurred by reports posted to Amazon's Ring neighbors app Friday night.
'I was intrigued by the first neighbor who posted that he saw a UFO from his yard,' wrote one resident of the Palmdale-Lancaster area, in the high desert north of LA.
'So, my mom and I went out to ours to see if we'd see anything,' the user continued.
'They were too far [for] me to confidently say they were flying saucers, but [...] we counted six after being out there for 10 minutes.'
All told, at least five witnesses spotted one or all of the reportedly half dozen UFOs.
Records from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) related to mysterious and potentially hostile drone incursions over a top secret Pentagon airfield nearby, as well as public NASA data, may offer the best hope of explaining these Ring reports.
But the videos that were posted claiming to capture the same airborne enigmas are another story, one DailyMail.com's experts could answer more concretely.
In this video, a woman can be heard saying 'Oh, my God. It's landing!' as she appears to film the red-and-blue light UFO gliding slowly toward a marina dock below. Experts told DailyMail.com that the footage was likely taken from Hawaii - not California
Above, one of three user-generated posts to the Amazon Ring neighbors app about the UFOs
Soon piggy-backing off these text-only Amazon Ring app accounts, short UFO videos emerged of a blinking string of red and blue lights hovering allegedly over these same desert neighborhoods.
One 23-second video opens on a quiet, suburban street at night and then zooms in on the 'UFO' pulsing above the neighborhood.
A male voice exclaims in palpable fear off-camera: 'Oh, what is that? Mom! Mom, you see this?' A woman's voice can next be heard replying: 'Holy s***! What the hell is that?' The video then ends abruptly.
In a second clip, a woman can be heard saying 'Oh, my God. It's landing!' as she appears to film similar red-and-blue lights off of a UFO as the craft glides slowly toward a marina dock.
'Nearly as I can tell, the Palmdale footage is an intentional hoax using footage from a drone show in Hawaii,' Roe advised, 'and an audio track used in several other vids.'
A year earlier, in fact, the same audio between a concerned boy and his mother was posted to Reddit paired with footage of a large, wet sea slug writhing in a still pool.

But a deeper analysis by Tedesco, the electrical engineer, and his avionics specialist brother who also works with Harvard's Galileo Project confirmed Roe's assessment.
'I took one of the video frames from the [23-second] video as a still image,' as Tedesco explained to DailyMail.com.
'There seem to be multiples of the object in a rectangular pattern, possibly nine drones,' Tedesco added. 'However, due to the quality of the video, I'm not certain.'
Tedesco's brother, aerospace avionics specialist Gerald Tedesco, who collaborates with him on their UFO field laboratory, agreed the drone explanation was most likely.
The behavior of these UFO lights also matched patterns pre-programmed into commercial drone swarms — according to Preston Ward, who serves as chief pilot and general counsel for the Texas-based drone light show company Sky Elements.
'To me it looks like the 6 drone test pattern,' Ward told DailyMail.com, 'distributed when someone first purchases drone show software.'
'The landing sequence is, for sure, drones using standard parameters,' the seasoned drone pilot opined.
Ward's colleague, Kyle Pivnick, added that one of the videos' visible landmarks did not match the alleged location of the sighting: 'Palmdale and Lancaster both are very land-locked and the video looks like it is at a marina.'
The footage appeared to have originated near the 2024 Pokémon World Championships in Honolulu, Hawaii — which capped off three nights of the international event with drone light shows according to local ABC affiliate KITV.
Footage uploaded to social media by the Hilton Hawaiian appears to show a similar marina adjacent to the coastal launch point for these Pokémon Worlds drone light shows — drones creating matching those red and blue LED light formations.

Above, another image of the 2024 Pokémon World Championships drone light show in Honolulu, Hawaii - this one depicting Pikachu, a popular 'electric' type pokémon - captured on video by a local surf shop
Compounding the likelihood that these videos were simple online disinformation, the UFOs depicted do not resemble the written accounts of the UFOs posted by residents of the Palmdale-Lancaster area to the Ring neighbors app.
Another of these witnesses, who 'saw a bright light up in the sky' while walking their dog, described their sighting as one solid object.
'At first I was like omg what a cool plane that [US defense contractor] Northrop assembled, but to my dismay it was a hovercraft,' the Ring user wrote. 'I saw [a] UFO.'
Another self-reported witness said they saw a UFO that looked at first like 'a shooting star falling east,' while out in their backyard with their daughter. But the single bright object, not a collection of lights, 'stopped very abruptly and zig zagged going north.'
'Checking to see if anyone else saw it,' they continued, 'or are we both going crazy.'
The Tedesco brothers told DailyMail.com that the UFO field research that they conduct with their Nightcrawler team employs a suite of sensors that resolve whether or not a UFO sighting is actually a drone.
Their Galileo-partnered mobile lab has 'a sensitive acoustic microphone with a parabolic dish' to pull noise data off odd distant lights or apparent objects in the sky.
'If the objects were prosaic, we would get a specific sound and frequency profile for quadcopter propellers,' Gerald, the avionics expert told DailyMail.com, referencing a common, commercial drone model.
'The same could be said about the rotor blades of a helicopter, prop-driven planes or turbofan jet engines.'
'Additionally, doing a radar sweep of the sky would allow us to get a cross-sectional profile of the craft, gather distance, elevation, speed and possibly relative size and shape of the object,' Gerald added.
Despite the Tedesco brothers' high doubts about the videos that have claimed to be from the Palmdale-Lancaster sightings last weekend, the pair have not written off this 'UFO flap' entirely.
'I'm not saying it can't be something else, other than man-made drones,' Gerald Tedesco added. 'But with the limitations in parametric data to support other possibilities [...] the likelihood of drones becomes the simplest explanation.'

The suspect videos aside, the unexplained citizen UFO reports out of the high desert north of LA might have to do with a recent spate of rumored drone incursions on the US Air Force's top secret aerospace testing facility Plant 42 in the area.
The Palmdale Regional Airport shares its runways with Plant 42, which is home to Lockheed Martin Skunkworks' advanced projects division.
The FAA has recently issued warnings and a ban on drone flights nearby, due to a series of incursions on this airspace that may have been flights by ordinary US citizens or espionage.
'We have observed multiple UAS [uncrewed aerial systems] activities over Plant 42 during the last few months,' Edwards Air Force Base spokesperson Mary Kozaitis told defense news site The War Zone on Monday.
'The number of UASs fluctuated and they ranged in size and configuration,' according to Kozaitis. 'FAA was made aware of the incursions and Edwards continues to monitor the air space to ensure the safety of base personnel, facilities, and assets.'
'As a reminder to drone enthusiasts,' the Air Force official added, ;overflight of Plant 42 is strictly prohibited and may result in criminal prosecution, fines, and loss of operator privileges.'
Reporters for The War Zone also noted that no local police reports appear to have been filed to confirm the UFO sightings reported on the Ring neighbors app.

But some of the sightings purporting to catch a glimpse of UFOs during last weekend's 'flap' are likely to have had an even more conventional explanation.
Glimmers of sunlight reflecting off NASA's International Space Station (ISS) were expected to be visible on the ground for minutes at a time in the early morning all across the past weekend and beyond.
A skywatchers page run by the US space agency, and designed to help civilians spot the ISS as it passes overhead, reported that sightings would feasible above Palmdale from Wednesday August 14, 2024 through Thursday August 29, 2024.
This page, NASA's 'Spot the Station' website, noted that visibility of the ISS from the ground around Palmdale-Lancaster was set to be one of its longest early on Saturday morning — shining in the sky for six minutes beginning at 5:35am local time.
A top UFOdebunker has revealed the bizarre case that still puzzles him to this day.
Scores of people, including military experts, have recorded eerie videos appearing to show UAPs - unidentified aerial phenomena - over the years and often seek answers by posting them online.
Mick West, of Sacramento, California, uses a range of tools to help explain these mysteries - but has been stumped by one Navy video of a UFO that was leaked by The New York Times.
The footage released in 2017 had been taken by a Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot two years earlier and appears to show a UFO following the jet from the USS Theodore Roosevelt after the object had been detected by radar off the East Coast.
In the infrared cockpit video, the incredible high-speed object seemingly breaks the laws of physics - with the two pilots heard debating whether or not it was a drone.
Mick West, of Sacramento, California, uses several tools to debunk random flying objects, including FlightAware, Flight Radar 24, and Invisor. But his biggest help is Sitrec that integrates flight data, video, and satellite imagery
One case that piqued West's interest is footage taken by Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot Ryan Graves. West wants to review the original video files himself to better understand their data
Combing over the footage, West, who often relies on data surrounding the video to debunk recorded events, investigated the clip and tried to work out the rotation of the camera and the glare on the lens. Still, he was left with no answers.
West is now hoping to gain access to the original radar data instead of the analysis the government released so he can recreate the phenomenon - and rule out any reasonable explanations.
As part of his approach, West uses multiple tools including FlightAware, Flight Radar 24 and Invisor, an app that gives information on video, audio, and photos such as resolutions and the date they were taken.
But his biggest resource is Sitrec - a tool he designed himself that stands for 'situation recreation' - which integrates flight data, video and satellite imagery to paint a full picture, he told Popular Mechanics.
'You have to be very careful about what you're looking at...for me, that's the very first step in investigating a case,' West, who has investigated around 1,000 UFO cases, told the outlet.
Last month, the former video game programmer spotted a white, elongated object from a plane window while he was flying to Pasadena and took a quick video of it.
'It’s not an intuitive thing, and if you don’t delve too deeply into it, [you’ll be wrong],' said West, who programmed Tony Hawk's Pro Series games
'It can be very difficult to figure out…but you have no choice,' he added (Pictured: Sitrec)
He thought was just another airplane - a conclusion he would be right about - but he found himself needing to investigate the matter personally, he told Popular Mechanics.
When he got to his hotel room, he used Photoshop to closely look at the image and downloaded the GPS routes from his flight and a few others in the area from FlightAware.com.
In order for West to find an answer, he has to look at simultaneous events and see how they all fit into the bigger picture.
His plane wasn't the only in the air, so he had to look at other flight paths, as well as weather phenomenon and satellite data.
He also looks closely at the video angle, In his case, he knew the video he took was several thousand feet above ground and the object was below him.
He used Flight Aware 24 to configure where other nearby planes were so he could 'figure out what’s actually in the air at a particular time,' he told Popular Mechanics.
West then zoomed in on his own flight and found the exact location of his plane when he took the video.
'I knew I was sitting on the right side of the plane,' he told the outlet.
The map showed him a 'likely contender' - a plane that had taken off from LA's Van Nuys Airport.
'That matches what we see in the video,' he told Popular Mechanics.
He then used Sitrec - which an unidentified organization paid him to develop and make publicly accessible - to point the camera from his plane directly down onto where the other plane was traveling.
'I set the camera to point from my plane to the other two. One of them matched exactly. It was a small Cessna,' he told the outlet. 'This confirms that this was the plane I was actually looking at.'
One Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UPA) - the term that took over for UFO in 2023 - that piqued West's interest appeared in footage the Chilean Navy caught of a black blob leaving streaks behind it in 2014, he told Popular Mechanics.
The Chilean military investigated the footage for roughly two years and boldly determined it to be aliens.
He determined the black blob seen by Chilean authorities was just a plane that had just departed from Santiago Airport, and the reason it appeared black in the footage their Navy had captured was because it was taken on a thermal camera and the plane was hotter than the surrounding area
However, West, thanks to Sitrec, came to a more reasonable conclusion and documented his investigation on YouTube.
He determined the black blob to be a plane that had just departed from Santiago Airport. He claimed the reason it appeared black in the footage captured by the Navy was because it was taken on a thermal camera and the plane was hotter than the surrounding area.
'It’s not an intuitive thing, and if you don’t delve too deeply into it, [you’ll be wrong],' West, who programmed Tony Hawk's Pro Series games, told the outlet.
As for the streaks the Navy recorded, he explained that these were just the airplane's engines leaving contrails.
West claimed that the Chilean Navy also got the flight path wrong.
'They thought they were looking at an object that was moving left to right.
'In fact, what they were looking at was this plane, just departed from Santiago Airport that had looped around to gain height over the mountains,' he said.
Using his program, he was able to successfully simulate the plane's movements by accounting for the camera angle and matched it to flight records.
West thinks his video game programming days helped condition him for the life of debunking UFOs as he spent 'an inordinate amount of time on this trivial little thing, this one intractable little bug that is just causing this problem' during his former profession.

UFO sightings over America's nuclear arsenal appeared to shift their interest from the making of the bombs to silos and bomber bases as the Cold War arms race grew (above)
'It can be very difficult to figure out… but you have no choice,' he told Popular Mechanics.
He finds debunking claims of alien sightings has the same rigor as programming a game and tied with his fascination with conspiracy theories, it ignited his passion for investigating UAP.
However, other experts remain convinced that UFO activity is real and seemingly has some connection to nuclear sites.
The former head of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, Lue Elizondo, agreed that there 'seems to be a lot of correlation' between UFO appearances and nuclear sites.
And independent researcher Robert Hastings, who has been working toward full government disclosure of UAP activity, said in 2010, 'Declassified US government documents and witness testimony from former or retired US military personnel confirm beyond any doubt the reality of ongoing UFO incursions at nuclear weapons sites.'
Now, new research — in the form of three studies helmed by a retired US Air Force staff sergeant, Larry Hancock, and a data analyst affiliate with Harvard's UFO-hunting Galileo Project, Ian Porritt — shows that not only has there been unusual activity around nuclear weapons and facilities, it has shifted over the years.
At first seemingly interested in the production of nuclear weapons, UFO sightings later sprang up around silos and bomber bases.
'You would see this interest at silos when they were being installed before 'the activity would drop off,' Porritt previously told the DailyMail.com.
Eerily similar to these encounters are the instances of UAPs following fighter jets that were disclosed by the UAP Task Force, including a 'giant Tic Tac' UFO witnessed by Navy veteran fighter pilot Commander David Fravor in 2004.
Fravor's fellow co-pilot Chad Underwood witnessed the 'perfectly white' wingless oblong captured by his cockpit's in-flight video.

A former top Pentagon spy claims that the US has recovered 'aliens.'
Former US counterintelligence official and onetime Pentagon UFO investigator Luis Elizondo told reporters that he can confirm one of two 'vehicles of unknown origin' were recovered from the now legendary Roswell UFO crash of 1947.
More shocking still, Elizondo said, 'We, as a nation have, been interested in not only the vehicles themselves but the occupants,' which he called 'biological specimens.'
Elizondo helped release three of the most famous UFO videos in history after leaving his role in the US Department of Defense in late 2017. His new explosive allegations come amid the ex-spy's press tour for his new memoir. They'll be broadcast in NewsNation's Special Report: Confessions of a UFO Hunter at 9PM ET on Friday August 23.
'We're not alone,' former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo (pictured) told Australian investigative journalist Ross Coulthart in an advanced clip of TC channel NewsNation's upcoming special. 'It is a simple fact,' he added. 'The US government has been aware of that fact for decades'
Elizondo first rose to national prominence in 2017 in the pages of the New York Times, after he helped release three US Navy infra-red UFO videos - including the GOFAST video (above)
The book contains, among its many incredible revelations, details on a 2016 plan hatched by Elizondo and his military colleagues to catch a UFO in the ocean.
'The United States has been involved in the recovery of objects,' Elizondo told cable network NewsNation in the new interview, 'vehicles of unknown origin that are neither from our country or any other foreign country that we're aware of.'
'We're not alone,' the former Pentagon official told Australian investigative journalist Ross Coulthart in an advanced clip of the channel's upcoming special report.
'We are not alone in this universe and it is a simple fact,' Elizondo continued. 'The US government has been aware of that fact for decades..
Elizondo first rose to national prominence in late 2017 in the pages of the New York Times — where he blew the whistle on the US military and intelligence community's pervasive mismanagement and excessive secrecy on the topic of UFOs.
His public resignation and opaque role within the Pentagon's UFO-hunting portfolio, known to its Senate backers as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), brought fame and a lead role in a History channel docu-series.
In April 2020, the Pentagon officially released three videos that Elizondo had helped leak in 2017, each taken by US Navy fighter pilots who had reportedly witnessed 'unexplained aerial phenomena' (UAP) as UFOs are now more technically known.
The videos depict, as Elizondo told CNN, 'things that don't have any obvious flight sufaces, any obvious forms of propulsion [...] maneuvering in ways that include extreme maneuverability beyond, I would submit, the healthy G-forces of a human or anything biological.
Despite corroboration from his peers and the late Senate Majority leader who helped create AATIP, Nevada Democrat Harry Reid, the Department of Defense has maintained that Elizondo's military role had no official UFO-hunting duties.
Pentagon officials denied the existence of any 'credible evidence of extraterrestrial activity,' in a statement responding to NewsNation's forthcoming interview.
'As we have stated previously, Luis Elizondo had no assigned responsibilities for the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) while assigned to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security,' DoD spokesperson Sue Gough told NewsNation.
Critics of Gough have pointed to a 2003 research paper on psychological warfare that she wrote for the US Army War College, implying the Pentagon spokesperson might be part of a coordinated campaign to undermine Elizondo's credibility.
And, in May 2021, Elizondo filed a 64-page complaint to the DoD's Office of the Inspector General accusing high-ranking military officials of attempting to silence him by threatening his security clearances and obfuscating of his work with AATIP.
DailyMail.com obtained an advance copy of Elizondo's book, Imminent, in which he shockingly and unequivocally stated that a 'Legacy Program' is 'in possession of advanced technology made off-world by nonhuman intelligence'
Elizondo said he endured 'malicious activities, coordinated disinformation, professional misconduct, whistleblower reprisal and explicit threats perpetrated by certain senior-level Pentagon officials.'
These actions, he and his attorneys said, suggested 'a coordinated effort to obfuscate the truth from the American people, while impugning my reputation as a former intelligence officer at the Pentagon.'
His new memoir, Imminent, sees the former Pentagon official opening up about much more incredible personal accounts — including the story of his own family's disturbing experience with 'green orbs' floating through their house.
In the book, Elizondo also details he and another AATIP member's plan to catch UFOs on the high seas.
He told DailyMail.com that their investigations pointed to these craft having an apparent interest in military operations, nuclear power, and were often seen around bodies of water.
So they coordinated with the Navy and other branches to create 'Project Interloper': an attempt to lure the mysterious craft and record them with high-tech equipment.
Above, veteran Australian TV news broadcaster and investigative reporter Ross Coulthart - who conducted the first televised interview with government UFO whistleblower David Grusch last year - conducted the new interview with Elizondo, which airs in full on Friday
'You take a nuclear carrier strike group, a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, you have a nuclear powered submarine and other nuclear equities in the area, and you put it on the water,' he told DailyMail.com.
The idea was to gather warships in the ocean, focusing their radar, sonar, and cameras where they believed the UFOs would appear.
'There was an official plan that had support. It got briefed all the way to the Joint Staff,' Elizondo said. 'We had a lot of interest from the intelligence community. A lot of agencies were part of this. They were ready to put their effort and assets into it. And at the last minute it got denied.'
'That, for me, was one of the last straws,' he told DailyMail.com this past Saturday.
NewsNation's 'Confessions of a UFO Hunter' TV special airs this Friday at 9pm Eastern / 8pm Central.
UFO whistleblower Luis Elizondo is strengthening his longtime efforts to pressure the U.S. government into revealing its secretive knowledge about UAPs, or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. Now that the Pentagon has finallycleared him to tell the full truth about what he knows, Elizondo has dropped several stunning claims in his new book, Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs, including a story about the government setting up UAP traps to attract the supposed extraterrestrials.
“We had a plan to set up a real big nuclear footprint, something we knew would be irresistible for these UAP,” Elizondo says in a new video posted on Reddit.
Elizondo, a former Pentagon official, makes other startling claims about what he says the government knows about UAPs, including its stewardship of a “Legacy Program” that is “in possession of advanced technology made off-world by nonhuman intelligence.” In other words, the government is still holding on to evidence that aliens have visited us.
In another incident detailed in his book, “several mysterious and luminous orbs” appeared before a group of scientists as they tested a classified device at the White Sands Missile Range in Los Alamos, New Mexico, in 2013. “The orbs moved toward the test site, hovered over the device as if scanning it for intel, then zipped away, brashly flying over the heads of bewildered scientists.” Several eyewitnesses also saw multiple “disc-shaped objects that seemed to know precisely where the device being tested was located.” Elizondo wrote that the incident occurred several times over the following days.
As former head of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program—a secret government UFO program that monitored unexplained threats to Navy warships and nuclear silos—Elizondo has had some bizarre encounters of his own. He asserts, for example, that he once saw green “luminous orbs” in his house after he began directing the secret office investigating UAPs in 2010.
The Pentagon redacted some sections of the book before it was published, and it is not supporting Elizondo’s claims.
UAPs have a long history of attracting enthusiasts who want to believe there’s an extraterrestrial presence interested in Earth. However, no proof has yet been found of aliens from other worlds, and the vast majority of UAP sightings can be debunked as a number of other, more mundane occurrences. These typically include weather phenomena, drones or advanced human-made technology, or an illusion of super-fast motion.
Still-unexplained sightings remain mysteries simply because there isn’t enough data to analyze them properly, according to longtime UAP investigator Mick West. “The people who are into UFO investigations are so interested because they’re looking for something extraordinary,” West recently toldPopular Mechanics. It’s more important to perform a dispassionate analysis of quality evidence, he says. Then you know the truth is indisputable.
Now that the government is releasing more documentation and evidence, UAP enthusiasts hope a fuller picture about unexplained sightings will emerge. Whether Elizondo’s claims indicate a truly extraterrestrial presence or not is still up in the air. In the meantime, he believes the incidents he describes in his book are a “very serious national security issue.”
Luis Elizondo: UFO proof is “imminent.” (Max Moszkowicz/Wikimedia Creative Commons photo)
REMEMBER THOSE BIG HEADLINES last summer, when a retired Air Force Intelligence officer named David Grusch testified in Congress about the U.S. government’s secret UFO “retrieval” program?
“Whistleblower tells Congress a stunning tale of crashed alien spacecraft and dead pilots,” blared the Dallas Morning News.” The “stunning” part was true.
While speaking to the media, Grusch also said that World War Two Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, tipped by Pope Pius XII, had helped retrieve a flying saucer and turned it over to the Americans. Even the New York Post noted that Grusch “did not provide any evidence for these claims.”
Skeptics pleaded, yet again: Show us the evidence.
And then in mid-2023 a reporter discovered that Grusch, who had worked in Pentagon satellite intelligence agencies, had had a mental health and substance abuse crises in 2014 and 2018 . The flying saucer brigade cried foul, but also pledged to keep up the fight. Actual “proof” of a spaceship or an alien, they assured us, was imminent.
As it happens, that is the title and battle cry of a new book published this week by Luis Elizondo, another prominent former intelligence officer-turned UFO truther. Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs, is generating a fresh wave of media buzz and excitement among UFO believers. Might it live up to the hype and finally prove the existence of our extraterrestrial overlords?
Don’t hold your breath.
The author makes the same eye-popping claims about recovered UFO wreckage that we heard of last summer. Elizondo, in his book, says it’s part of an ultra-black “legacy program” that stretches back to the late 1940s, when the first saucers crashed at Roswell. And how did he learn about this when he was working in the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, from 2008 until his retirement in 2017?
“Senior officials told me continuously and confidentially that big aerospace companies have been part of the Legacy Program to retrieve and reverse-engineer crash materials. The big names included Lockheed Martin, TRW, McDonnell Douglas, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, BAE Systems, and the Aerospace Corporation, all of which have long been principal members of the U.S. military industrial complex.”
What is more far-fetched: A ginormous, decades-long conspiracy that involved hundreds to thousands of employees staying quiet about recovered space aliens and otherworldly crafts, or senior Pentagon officials “continuously” sharing details of humanity’s biggest secret with only Elizondo and a few select others in the I.C.
Navy pilots keep reporting encounters like this one off California. (DoD)
If this doesn’t trigger your innate bullshit detector, then what about Elizondo’s claim that he is endowed with telepathic powers after being trained by the army as a psychic “super-soldier”? Or his chapter on translucent, basketball sized orbs that terrorized the Elizondo household after he was “recruited” into a secret Pentagon program that researched UFOs? The strange objects, he writes, floated through walls and “behaved as if guided by some intelligence.” He wondered if they were probes “sent to scope out my house” or if an “advanced intelligence was looking into me.”
Before you dismiss Elizondo as just another UFO kook or grifter (or both), it’s important to understand the backstory here: He is a big reason why a topic once associated with Bigfoot and crop circles is now treated by the media as a legitimate subject and the focus of serious attention in Congress. Let’s briefly unwind how that happened.
Learning Curves
Like many readers of Spy Talk, I first learned of Elizondo in December of 2017, when he was featured prominently in the mainstream media, starting with Politico, the Washington Post, and the New York Times. All three outlets (which were granted access to Elizondo months ahead of time), portrayed him as a career intelligence officer who had recently left the Pentagon in protest because a secret UFO investigative program he had led was ignored and not given sufficient resources.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of this initial coverage; three highly respected journalism organizations independently corroborated Elizondo’s impressive credentials in the classified world, and they all verified the existence of some kind of odd Pentagon program in the late 2000s that investigated “unidentified aerial phenomena,” or UAP—which could have been anything from drones and birds to otherworldly crafts. Elizondo described himself to the journalists as the program manager and framed his “mission” in national defense parlance.
Politico, the Washington Post and the New York Times all published their stories near simultaneously in mid-December, 2017, and all carried much the same narrative. The sensational news about the Pentagon’s “shadowy” UFO program and Elizondo’s explanation of how it was thwarted went viral on the internet and was quickly picked up, verbatim, by all the broadcast networks, which conducted fawning interviews with him.
Overnight, it seemed, UFOs went from tabloid fodder to a serious news story. Elizondo joined a brand new UFO entertainment company (set up by former Blink182 frontman-turned novelist-turned entrepreneur Tom DeLonge), which was credited with legitimizing the topic. They produced a “documentary” series for the History Channel that cast Elizondo as a heroic truth-teller and re-created his supposed UFO investigations for the Pentagon. By this time, I had already interviewed Elizondo numerous times for articles that examined his unlikely UFO stardom and the military’s tortured historical relationship with UFOs. I had also voiced my criticism of the media’s largely uncritical coverage of Elizondo and his small coterie of UFO-promoting intelligence professionals , which included former top Pentagon intelligence official Chris Mellon, scion of the Pittsburgh banking fortune. The UFO mania they created infected even supposedly level-headed members of Congress, like former House Speaker Harry Reid and Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer.
“We managed to convince them the phenomena were real and America needed to take action to determine the capabilities of these craft and the identity and intentions of their operators,” Mellon wrote in Politico last year.
Where’s the Beef?
They definitely have the Big Mo, no matter the holes in their story. When the debut of Elizondo’s History Channel docuseries arrived in 2019, I published a piece with The Intercept that dismantled the core claim that had propelled Elizondo to fame and UFOs into a national security story. There was no evidence, I reported, that Elizondo had ever been the director of a Pentagon UFO program, much less participated in one. The Defense Department affirmed this to me then and has since held to its position, including as recently as this week.
Yes, I know what you’re thinking: That’s exactly what the Pentagon would do, since it has been covering up the truth about flying saucers for 80 years.
Fair enough. You don’t have to believe in little green men from Mars to know that a culture of secrecy in the CIA and its cohort of alphabet soup agencies has bred public distrust of “deep state” federal institutions. Then there is the government’s own, real history of deceit, which Elizondo leaned into earlier this week during an interview with CBS after he was asked whether he thought the government was lying about UFOs.
“Well, we know that the government never lies, right?” he said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. “Iran-Contra, Pentagon Papers, Afghanistan withdrawal.”
This statement, and his book’s theme of a massive UFO coverup by the government, taps into a dangerous cynicism roiling contemporary American politics. At the same time, who can blame him for wanting to cash in on our boundless appetite for feverish conspiracy narratives? We are inveterate junkies for this UFO stuff, no matter who is peddling it.
We—or at least many people—want to believe we’re not alone in the universe. The media, because it is an easy mark for a good saucer yarn, enables that belief. This is how the American public’s saucer habit was first established, when, at the dawn of the Cold War, thinly sourced wire service reports were picked up by many outlets across the country, thereby producing “the illusion of a national trend,” as two media scholars wrote in a 2019 paper.
The same pack journalism mentality that stirred a flying saucer phenomenon nearly 80 years ago is responsible today for a fabulist narrative that has renewed America’s fascination with UFOs. Throughout this history, self appointed military “whistleblowers” have periodically appeared on the scene to warn about the presence of space aliens in our midst. Belatedly, the Pentagon is trying to address the underlying cause of this trend. Good luck. Their effort is well meaning, I think, but too little and too late. UFOs will always alight in the public mind and their official disclosure will always be … imminent.

Ex-Pentagon Official Reveals U.S. UFO Retrieval Program and Alien Bodies
Ex-Pentagon Official Reveals U.S. UFO Retrieval Program and Alien Bodies
In a groundbreaking revelation, former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo has made startling claims regarding the U.S. government’s involvement in a UFO retrieval program. According to Elizondo, this program not only deals with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) but also involves the recovery of non-human biological specimens, suggesting the presence of extraterrestrial life.
UFO Crash Retrieval Program
Elizondo, who previously headed the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), has brought to light information that has long been speculated by UFO enthusiasts and researchers. He asserts that the Department of Defense has been actively involved in retrieving crashed spacecraft, some of which are believed to be of non-human origin. These claims, if proven true, would mark one of the most significant disclosures in the history of extraterrestrial research.
During a NewsNation special, Elizondo elaborated on the existence of this program, stating that the U.S. government has been engaged in these activities for decades. He also named various government agencies and aerospace companies that allegedly possess these spacecraft. The implications of such a program are profound, as it suggests that the government has been reverse-engineering alien technology for potential use in defense and other sectors.
The Roswell Incident and Beyond
Elizondo’s revelations also touch on the infamous Roswell incident of 1947, one of the most well-known UFO events in history. He claimed that not just one, but two unidentified aerial phenomena crashed during the Roswell event. While one managed to escape, the other was reportedly recovered by the U.S. government. This aligns with long-standing rumors that Roswell was a cover-up for the recovery of alien technology and possibly even extraterrestrial beings.
These allegations point to a legacy of UAP retrieval and reverse engineering that has spanned multiple decades. The U.S. government’s interest in these phenomena, according to Elizondo, is not merely scientific curiosity but a deep-seated pursuit of advanced technology that could potentially change the course of human history.
Alien Bodies and Biological Specimens
Perhaps the most shocking aspect of Elizondo’s claims is the mention of non-human biological specimens. He suggests that alongside the recovery of spacecraft, the U.S. government has also retrieved alien bodies. These biologics, as he refers to them, are evidence of non-human intelligences that have been interacting with humanity.
Elizondo emphasizes that this is not a recent discovery; the U.S. government has allegedly been aware of the existence of these non-human entities for decades. This revelation raises numerous questions about the nature of these beings, their intentions, and the extent of their interactions with humanity.
The Implications of Elizondo’s Claims
If Elizondo’s statements are accurate, they could lead to a paradigm shift in how we understand our place in the universe. The idea that we are not alone, and that other intelligences have been engaging with us, challenges many of our fundamental beliefs about life, technology, and even security.
The potential existence of a UFO retrieval program also raises ethical and legal questions. If the government has indeed been hiding such information, it could lead to calls for greater transparency and accountability. Moreover, the prospect of reverse-engineering alien technology could have far-reaching consequences, both beneficial and potentially dangerous, for global security.
In conclusion, Luis Elizondo’s claims about a U.S. UFO retrieval program and the recovery of alien bodies open up a vast array of possibilities and concerns. While these revelations are yet to be fully verified, they undoubtedly add fuel to the ongoing debate about UFOs and extraterrestrial life. As more information emerges, the world will be watching closely to see how these claims unfold and what they mean for the future of humanity.

This event marked the beginning of a life-threatening cerebral hemorrhage, resulting in her being taken to the hospital and placed in intensive care for two weeks.
While in intensive care, Fisher had a near-death experience. She describes the sensation of “slipping out” of her body, feeling as though a layer was lifted off her.
She found herself floating about two meters above her bed, observing her own body lying with tubes connected to her head. Initially, she did not fully understand what was happening but soon realized that something was not right. This realization led her to the conclusion that she might be dead.
Fisher explains how the experience differed from looking at herself in a mirror. As a small child, being two meters above herself was an unusual perspective.
She observed herself and the surrounding medical equipment with a sense of detachment and lightness, a feeling she describes as being as light as a feather. Despite trying to look at her feet or hands, she could not see them, emphasizing the disembodied nature of her experience.
She said, “The most impressive part was the unbelievable silence—a silence that I don’t think we can experience at all in this world. It was like pressing a pause button; no background noise. You see everything in slow motion—that’s how I perceived it. It’s a silence we cannot experience on Earth in the same way.“
Fisher recalls moving towards a door frame filled with light, which had a unique frequency, unlike any light on Earth. She felt drawn to this light but was suddenly stopped by a voice asking if she wanted to go further.
This voice did not belong to any visible person, adding to the mysterious nature of the experience. As she contemplated the question, thoughts of her parents pulled her back to her body with great force.
I had the feeling it was a slightly bluish tint, a mix of white and blue light. I was drawn to it; it was something I had never seen in my life on Earth. I slowly moved toward this light, very slowly, at a walking pace. Then, I heard a voice—a voice that asked me, “Girl, do you want to go?” I was asked this question, but I didn’t see anybody or anything, just a voice asking, “Do you want to go?” That was really the exciting part. I was standing in this dark room in front of a doorframe filled with white light and this blue color, this unique light frequency.
I slowly moved toward this light, and I was asked again, “Girl, would you like to go on?” At that moment, I reflected on the whole situation, if you can put it that way. I thought about it and had only one thought: my parents. They dominated my mind. I immediately thought of my parents—Mom and Dad. As I was having this thought, it was like a force pulled me back, like Mom and Dad were pulling me back to my body at an incredible speed. That was the kind of near-death experience I had.
She described the light as evoking feelings of love, security, and being in good hands. The decision to return to her body seemed influenced by her thoughts of her parents, and she felt no pressure from any external force to stay or go.
After spending two weeks in intensive care and another two weeks in a regular ward, Fisher chose not to immediately share her experience with her parents. She felt they were too emotionally fragile at the time. It took her two years to process the event herself before discussing it with her mother, who reacted openly and supportive.
She discussed how the near-death experience has influenced her life. She mentions that, although the experience was clear to her, she understands that others might view her as crazy. She also shares her belief that humans are not truly afraid of death but rather of their own greatness and immortality.
The experience led Fisher to explore spiritual topics from a young age. She attended seminars with her mother and became deeply interested in the meaning of life and what happens after death. She believes that souls come to Earth to experience various aspects of existence, such as forgiveness, by living through specific life events.
Fisher notes that since her near-death experience, she has become more sensitive to energies and emotions around her. This heightened sensitivity affects her interactions with people and her ability to handle mass gatherings.
She also explains that her spiritual orientation influences her professional choices, leading her to train as a kinesiologist, though she seeks to integrate spirituality more deeply into her work.
There is definitely something after Death. Jeffrey Long, a radiation oncologist in Kentucky studied more than 5,000 near-death experiences and his research has convinced him without a doubt that there’s life after death. (Source)
He claims that he found a pattern of events in NDEs.
About 45% of people who have an NDE report an out-of-body experience. When this happens, their consciousness separates from their physical body, usually hovering above the body. The person can see and hear what’s happening around them, which usually includes frantic attempts to revive them. One woman even reported a doctor throwing a tool on the floor when he picked up the wrong one—something the doctor later confirmed.
After the out-of-body experience, people say they’re transported into another realm. Many pass through a tunnel and experience a bright light. Then, they’re greeted by deceased loved ones, including pets, who are in the prime of their lives. Most people report an overwhelming sense of love and peace. They feel like this other realm is their real home.
Dr. Long said, “These experiences may sound cliché: the bright light, the tunnel, the loved ones. But over twenty-five years of studying NDEs, I’ve come to believe that these descriptions have become cultural tropes because they’re true. I even worked with a group of children under five who had NDEs. They reported the same experiences that adults did—and at that age, you’re unlikely to have heard about bright lights or tunnels after you die.
Other people report seemingly unbelievable events, which we can later confirm. One woman lost consciousness while riding her horse on a trail. Her body stayed on the trail while her consciousness traveled with her horse as he galloped back to the barn. Later, she was able to describe exactly what happened at the barn because she had seen it despite her body not being there. Others who hadn’t spoken to her confirmed her account.”
American scientist Robert Lanza, MD also believes that death is not real. He introduced the concept of biocentrism, suggesting that we, as living beings, are the center of everything around us. According to him, death exists because we identify ourselves with our bodies, but he argues that the human mind continues to work even when the body stops functioning. (Source)
To support his ideas, Lanza refers to quantum mechanics, suggesting that consciousness is immortal and exists outside of space and time. He explains that in the realm of quantum possibilities, various outcomes can occur, and human consciousness can smoothly transition to another reality after death.
Ex-Pentagon Official Reveals U.S. UFO Retrieval Program and Alien Bodies
Ex-Pentagon Official Reveals U.S. UFO Retrieval Program and Alien Bodies
In a groundbreaking revelation, former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo has made startling claims regarding the U.S. government’s involvement in a UFO retrieval program. According to Elizondo, this program not only deals with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) but also involves the recovery of non-human biological specimens, suggesting the presence of extraterrestrial life.
UFO Crash Retrieval Program
Elizondo, who previously headed the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), has brought to light information that has long been speculated by UFO enthusiasts and researchers. He asserts that the Department of Defense has been actively involved in retrieving crashed spacecraft, some of which are believed to be of non-human origin. These claims, if proven true, would mark one of the most significant disclosures in the history of extraterrestrial research.
During a NewsNation special, Elizondo elaborated on the existence of this program, stating that the U.S. government has been engaged in these activities for decades. He also named various government agencies and aerospace companies that allegedly possess these spacecraft. The implications of such a program are profound, as it suggests that the government has been reverse-engineering alien technology for potential use in defense and other sectors.
The Roswell Incident and Beyond
Elizondo’s revelations also touch on the infamous Roswell incident of 1947, one of the most well-known UFO events in history. He claimed that not just one, but two unidentified aerial phenomena crashed during the Roswell event. While one managed to escape, the other was reportedly recovered by the U.S. government. This aligns with long-standing rumors that Roswell was a cover-up for the recovery of alien technology and possibly even extraterrestrial beings.
These allegations point to a legacy of UAP retrieval and reverse engineering that has spanned multiple decades. The U.S. government’s interest in these phenomena, according to Elizondo, is not merely scientific curiosity but a deep-seated pursuit of advanced technology that could potentially change the course of human history.
Alien Bodies and Biological Specimens
Perhaps the most shocking aspect of Elizondo’s claims is the mention of non-human biological specimens. He suggests that alongside the recovery of spacecraft, the U.S. government has also retrieved alien bodies. These biologics, as he refers to them, are evidence of non-human intelligences that have been interacting with humanity.
Elizondo emphasizes that this is not a recent discovery; the U.S. government has allegedly been aware of the existence of these non-human entities for decades. This revelation raises numerous questions about the nature of these beings, their intentions, and the extent of their interactions with humanity.
The Implications of Elizondo’s Claims
If Elizondo’s statements are accurate, they could lead to a paradigm shift in how we understand our place in the universe. The idea that we are not alone, and that other intelligences have been engaging with us, challenges many of our fundamental beliefs about life, technology, and even security.
The potential existence of a UFO retrieval program also raises ethical and legal questions. If the government has indeed been hiding such information, it could lead to calls for greater transparency and accountability. Moreover, the prospect of reverse-engineering alien technology could have far-reaching consequences, both beneficial and potentially dangerous, for global security.
In conclusion, Luis Elizondo’s claims about a U.S. UFO retrieval program and the recovery of alien bodies open up a vast array of possibilities and concerns. While these revelations are yet to be fully verified, they undoubtedly add fuel to the ongoing debate about UFOs and extraterrestrial life. As more information emerges, the world will be watching closely to see how these claims unfold and what they mean for the future of humanity.
The former head of a secret government UFO program has spoken out in an interview with DailyMail.com – before revealing in a new book why he is certain the Pentagon has material from crashed ‘nonhuman’ spacecraft.
Luis Elizondo, 52, helped run the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) from 2009 to 2017, investigating UFOs that harassed Navy warships and nuclear silos.
DailyMail.com obtained an advance copy of his book, Imminent, in which he shockingly and unequivocally stated that a ‘Legacy Program’ is ‘in possession of advanced technology made off-world by nonhuman intelligence’.
The memoir is bursting with other jaw-dropping revelations and claims, including a 2016 plan Elizondo and colleagues hatched to catch a UFO in the ocean, and his family’s own disturbing experience with ‘green orbs’ floating through their house.
The ex-Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) official revealed Donald Trump was briefed on the government’s UFO program during his presidency, and detailed in his book some intriguing and previously unknown UFO incidents.

The former head of a secret government UFO program has spoken out in an interview with DailyMail.com – before revealing in a new book why he is certain the Pentagon has material from crashed ‘nonhuman’ spacecraft
These included a 2013 dramatic saucer sighting at the secretive Los Alamos missile test range; laser-precise holes cut through armored tanks in the Kuwaiti desert in 2003; a giant craft beneath the waters of Puerto Rico in 1999; and foreign biological implants found in servicemembers after they encountered UFOs.
Some sections of the book were redacted by the Pentagon, which reviewed it before publication to prevent unauthorized spilling of secrets. Their review does not mean they are vouching for Elizondo’s claims.
A career senior defense intelligence officer who played a major role running Guantanamo Bay in the 2010s, Elizondo was long a creature of the shadows.
His father, who fought alongside young Fidel Castro and joined Americans in the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, taught Florida-raised Elizondo to assemble an AR-15 at age seven. Soon after he showed him how to ride a motorcycle and fly a plane.
Elizondo thought he’d seen it all, serving in Afghanistan alongside General James Mattis and running antiterrorism missions against ISIS, Al Qaeda and Hezbollah.
But when top DIA rocket scientist James Lacatski called him in for a meeting in 2008, he got let in on something altogether stranger.
‘He looked over his glasses at me and he said, “What do you think about UFOs?”’ Elizondo told DailyMail.com.
‘I paused for a moment, and I said “I don’t have the luxury to think about them. I’m too busy chasing bad guys.”
‘He said to me: “Don't let your own personal bias get the best of you, because what you learn here may challenge any preconceived notions.”
‘That’s really when I first learned what this program was about.’

Lacatski recruited Elizondo to manage security for the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a $22 million DIA initiative that chased down servicemembers’ reports of UFOs, and researched ways to replicate their unearthly technology.
After funding ran out in 2012, Elizondo and his colleagues continued their work using resources cobbled together from their other jobs at DIA and varied military and defense agencies, under the new name AATIP.
In his memoir, Elizondo described some of the strange incidents he investigated while in government.
He said scientists were testing a classified device at the White Sands missile test range in Los Alamos, New Mexico in 2013, when ‘witnesses spotted several mysterious and luminous orbs moving over a nearby ridge’.
‘The orbs moved toward the test site, hovered over the device as if scanning it for intel, then zipped away, brashly flying over the heads of bewildered scientists,’ the ex-official wrote.
‘Later, several eyewitnesses saw a formation of disc-shaped objects that seemed to know precisely where the device being tested was located. This occurred several times over a few days.’
He described another case from 1999, in which a Navy chopper flew over Puerto Rican waters to retrieve a dummy cruise missile they were test-launching.
‘As the frogman dangled from his hoist, a large, circular object the size of a small island began to rise to the surface,’ Elizondo wrote.
‘The pilot told me that it was black as the devil and the water began to churn and roll like a witch’s brew. The crew panicked.
‘As the helicopter rose, the pilot noticed the missile getting sucked underwater.’

Elizondo is a former senior intelligence official and special agent who was recruited into a strange and highly sensitive US Government program to investigate UAP / UFO incursions into sensitive military installations and air space
While serving with the US Army in Kuwait in 2003, Elizondo said he had an inexplicable experience.
Military police told him a Bedouin goat herder saw a ‘brilliant green flash’ over tanks stationed at the remote desert base of Arifjan one night.
When Elizondo came to investigate, they showed him a heavily armored M1 battle tank – designed to withstand a direct missile hit – with ‘a small hole punched through the armored side’ that was ‘perfectly round, no rough edges.’
‘The tank next to it showed precisely the same sabotage,’ Elizondo wrote. ‘Whatever caused this seemed to penetrate the sides of two of our best tanks with one clean hole through both.
‘It was as if someone had used a supersharp cookie cutter to take a core sample of the vehicle. The energy required to do such a thing would have been enormous.’
Things got weirder from there.
He described ‘implants’ found in military servicemembers who had a run-in with a UFO.
‘I once handled one of these implants myself, provided to me by a hospital in the Department of Veterans Affairs, where it had been removed from a US military servicemember who had encountered a UAP [Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, the government term for UFOs],’ Elizondo wrote.
‘The material, no longer or wider than a joint of one of your fingers, looked more like a microchip encapsulated by a slimy semitranslucent casing of tissue… Under a microscope, it was still moving somehow.
‘AAWSAP/AATIP had also obtained photographs of these sorts of tiny objects from living foreign military pilots.’

Elizondo claimed samples were sent to ‘the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and a US Army research facility at Fort Detrick in Maryland.’
Elizondo and his colleagues’ ultimate goal was to get access to an alleged longstanding program hidden by defense contractors working with the Pentagon, that had recovered crashed UFOs – some dating back to the infamous reported flying saucer crash in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.
And in an interview with DailyMail.com, Elizondo revealed that his team got a meeting with this shadowy program’s administrators.
‘We were told by the people who had the material,’ he said. ‘They sat there and said “We’re happy to have this conversation with you. There’s some things you’re going to need to do if you want more access to it. But we’re happy to give this stuff to you.”
‘That’s a holy cow moment. That’s a seismic revelation.
‘There are countless examples of this type of material being collected, that when analyzed and scrutinized by scientific experts – I'm talking about US government top secret-cleared scientists – substantiate that what we're dealing with is something that was not made by us.’
But he said these ‘gatekeepers’ tied his team up in red tape and ultimately failed to open their books – or secret bunkers – to the scrappy Pentagon team.
Elizondo added that for now he is unable to back up his claims with further evidence, as the rest, he says, is classified.
His claims echo those of Pentagon whistleblower David Grusch, a former National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency official, who told Congress in a public hearing last year that the government is covering up a UFO crash retrieval program that has half a dozen spacecraft and even alien bodies.
While working on AATIP, Elizondo said he and his family had their own close encounter.
‘My wife was a complete skeptic on all this – that is, until she saw an orb in our house for herself,’ he wrote in his book.
‘We had a long main hallway in the house, and one evening a green, glowing ball, probably about the size of a basketball, with soft edges that weren’t defined, floated down slowly from the kitchen to our bedroom door just below ceiling height, then disappeared into a wall.’
‘If it was just me that saw these things, I probably wouldn’t have said anything. But the fact is, my whole family saw them,’ the intelligence officer told DailyMail.com. ‘And other members in AATIP experienced this same thing as well.
He said he, his family and even neighbors saw these luminous green orbs repeatedly – but only while he worked in the UFO program.
‘There was a lot of weird stuff. The more you got involved with the portfolio, the more bizarre it got,’ he said. ‘I don’t talk too much about it because it just seems so bizarre.
‘It was only happening when we were involved with AATIP. It never happened before, never happened after.’
Elizondo and fellow AATIP member Jay Stratton hatched a plan in 2015 to catch a UFO.
He told DailyMail.com that their investigations pointed to these craft having an apparent interest in military operations, nuclear power, and were often seen around bodies of water.
So they coordinated with the Navy and other branches to create ‘Project Interloper’: an attempt to lure these mysterious craft and record them with high-tech equipment.
‘You take a nuclear carrier strike group, a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, you have a nuclear powered submarine and other nuclear equities in the area, and you put it on the water,’ he told DailyMail.com.
‘So you have the military, nuclear and water nexus. We were very, very confident we were going to get UAP encounters, because we had them all the time. That’s what they were attracted to, like flies to fly paper.’
The idea was to gather warships in the ocean, focusing their radar, sonar, and cameras where they believed the UFOs would appear.
‘There was an official plan that had support. It got briefed all the way to the Joint Staff,’ Elizondo said. ‘We had a lot of interest from the intelligence community. A lot of agencies were part of this. They were ready to put their effort and assets into it. And at the last minute it got denied.
‘That, for me, was one of the last straws. I was very, very frustrated. Despite our best efforts to get this up the chain of command, someone kept cutting this off and saying “we don’t want to talk about UFOs”.’
In 2017 he decided to quit in protest and publicly revealed AATIP’s existence to the New York Times – and the fact that Navy fighter pilots were routinely encountering craft with capabilities far surpassing known human technology.
The revelation sparked a renewed interest in UFOs, and a series of better-funded but equally jargon-filled successors to Elizondo’s AATIP, the most recent being the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
In between contracting for Space Force, as he did last year, Elizondo is working as part of an effort to persuade lawmakers to add new protections for more whistleblowers to come forward.
That is the only route, he believes, for bringing to light what the government really knows about UFOs.
