UFOs are flying over the United States, the military does not know what it is and who is behind them, and we cannot stop them, said Elizondo.

Luis Elizondo, head of the secret Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), told The US Sun that the bizarre “UFO provocations” reported by the US military in a number of videos are real, and the question is now simply “what is it?”

While he is unable to discuss much of his work as it remains “classified,” he said he saw “very compelling” evidence that convinced him of the existence of these UFOs threatening the United States.

“I am not a UFO expert, I am an investigator, my task was simple – to collect data and tell the truth,” said Mr. Elizondo ..

“There is something in our sky, we do not know what it is, we do not know how it works, we do not fully know what it can do, we do not know who controls them, we do not know its intentions, and we can’t do a damn thing about it. ”

“If it turns out that the unknown enemy is ahead of us technologically, then we will have to deal with a failure of intelligence at the level of September 11th.”

“When I worked at AATIP, our goal was to try to find a common explanation for these phenomena, but such explanations simply do not exist!”

He remains hopeful that public s upport and bipartisan action by lawmakers will help open up the topic and start discussing UFOs openly, admitting that it is a fact.

Not wanting to go into details, when asked whether Russia and China are studying UFOs, he said: “We have every reason to believe that foreign hostile countries are equally – if not more – interested in studying UFOs, no less than us. This has been confirmed from various sources. We are confident about it. ”

With the UFO / UAP deadline approaching, Mr. Elizondo urged people to “manage their expectations” about what might be released – while some of the information is likely to remain classified to protect methods and sources.

He added that while some government agencies continue to try to suppress information about UFOs, he believes that the genie is already out of the bottle to ensure wider disclosure.

“They exist, the question is what they are and what are we going to do about them.”
