UFO/UAP Characteristics

LUIS ELIZONDO

Luis (Lue) Elizondo is the former director of the (now defunct) covert Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Thread Identification Program (AATIP), an outgrowth of a government future warfare project associated with billionaire UFO investigator Robert Bigelow. According to Elizondo, the mission of AATIP was to collect and analyze information on anomalous aerial vehicles or UFOs. A former senior military intelligence official with decades of experience in matters of U.S. national security and defense, Elizondo claims to have resigned from AATIP in 2017, in protest of the government’s "excessive secrecy and internal opposition." Elizondo and Christopher Mellon (former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence) distributed to the press three declassified videos made by pilots from the United States Navy aircraft carriers USS Nimitz and USS Theodore Roosevelt between 2004 and 2015, known as the Pentagon UFO videos. A leading proponent of the Disclosure Project, Elizondo identifies the characteristics of a U.A.P. as:

• No obvious flying surfaces

• No obvious forms of propulsion

• Extreme maneuverability beyond the G forces withstood by human biology

• Hyper sonic velocities

• Low observability

• Positive lift

• Seemingly defying the laws of aerodynamics

• Completely and entirely different, and outperform anything in the U.S. and known foreign inventory

• A potential threat to national security
