Luis Elizondo
Luis Elizondo is a prominent figure in the discussion of UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). His background includes work in U.S. Army Counterintelligence, where he gained expertise in investigating security threats and conducting intelligence operations. Later, he served in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, focusing on national security matters. Elizondo is best known for his role as the alleged director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a classified program run by the Department of Defense (DoD). According to Elizondo, AATIP investigated reports of UAP encounters by military personnel, analyzing videos, eyewitness accounts, and other evidence. This program became widely known after the release of several Pentagon-confirmed videos showing U.S. Navy pilots encountering unidentified flying objects exhibiting flight characteristics beyond known human technology. Elizondo resigned from the Pentagon in 2017, citing frustration with what he described as a lack of serious attention to the potential security risks posed by UAPs. Following his resignation, he joined the civilian effort to advocate for UAP transparency, including working with To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science, a group focused on scientific research and public engagement regarding unexplained phenomena. Elizondo has since appeared in various media outlets, documentaries, and public discussions, becoming a vocal advocate for greater government transparency regarding UAP investigations. He also co-authored books, further exploring the implications of UAPs and their potential impact on science, technology, and national security.
