[0:00:00 - 0:00:04] ▶
The New York Times publishes an explosive story entitled
[0:00:04 - 0:00:08] ▶
Glowing Orrors and Black Money.
[0:00:08 - 0:00:11] ▶
The Pentagon's mysterious UFO program.
[0:00:11 - 0:00:15] ▶
The story exposes a top secret U.S. government project
[0:00:15 - 0:00:19] ▶
to investigate UFO reports, call the Advanced Aerospace
[0:00:19 - 0:00:24] ▶
Threat Identification Program, or ATIP.
[0:00:24 - 0:00:27] ▶
The revelations concerning the existence of the Pentagon's ATIP program
[0:00:28 - 0:00:32] ▶
are extraordinary.
[0:00:32 - 0:00:34] ▶
It is the single biggest ever news in the whole history of the UFO phenomenon.
[0:00:34 - 0:00:41] ▶
It's not quite a spaceship and a hangar smoking gun,
[0:00:41 - 0:00:46] ▶
but it's the closest we've ever been.
[0:00:46 - 0:00:49] ▶
The article reported that the program had been run
[0:00:49 - 0:00:52] ▶
by a former Pentagon official named Louise Elizondo.
[0:00:52 - 0:00:56] ▶
A senior career intelligence officer with top security clearance.
[0:00:57 - 0:01:01] ▶
It was Elizondo's job to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects
[0:01:01 - 0:01:08] ▶
and to measure what threat they could pose to national security.
[0:01:08 - 0:01:12] ▶
Louise Elizondo is a long-standing intelligence officer in Department of Defense.
[0:01:12 - 0:01:18] ▶
He has made it clear that the information that's come to ATIP over the years
[0:01:18 - 0:01:22] ▶
is quite extraordinary and not explainable.
[0:01:22 - 0:01:25] ▶
And these most important statements have been along the lines of,
[0:01:25 - 0:01:28] ▶
look, if we ever thought that these were Russian or Chinese,
[0:01:28 - 0:01:31] ▶
we'd be going crazy right now.
[0:01:31 - 0:01:33] ▶
To everyone who's able to read between the lines,
[0:01:33 - 0:01:35] ▶
he's essentially saying UFOs are real.
[0:01:35 - 0:01:38] ▶
Elizondo ran ATIP for eight years from 2009 until he resigned in 2017.
[0:01:38 - 0:01:47] ▶
During this time, the program collected several extraordinary videos
[0:01:48 - 0:01:52] ▶
of military encounters with UFOs.
[0:01:52 - 0:01:55] ▶
Cool thing, dude.
[0:01:55 - 0:01:57] ▶
But if there's anything...
[0:01:57 - 0:02:00] ▶
Taken by forward-looking infrared cameras mounted on Navy jets.
[0:02:00 - 0:02:05] ▶
They were perhaps the most spectacular and credible UFO videos ever released to the public.
[0:02:05 - 0:02:12] ▶
Oh my gosh.
[0:02:12 - 0:02:14] ▶
Oh, look at that.
[0:02:14 - 0:02:16] ▶
Look at that.
[0:02:16 - 0:02:17] ▶
One of these videos, at least, comes from the gun camera of an F-18.
[0:02:19 - 0:02:25] ▶
And you don't just jump out in your plane and fly out and chase something
[0:02:25 - 0:02:28] ▶
because you saw it go by.
[0:02:28 - 0:02:30] ▶
You were told to do so, and it took a lot of people to know this was going on.
[0:02:30 - 0:02:35] ▶
These videos captured the world's attention, and suddenly it's like we're in a new world.
[0:02:35 - 0:02:43] ▶
We have these incredible videos shot by Navy pilots giving irrefutable evidence
[0:02:43 - 0:02:48] ▶
that there is a technology out there that is beyond anything our near peers have.
[0:02:48 - 0:02:54] ▶
But perhaps the most shocking information to come out about ATIP
[0:02:54 - 0:02:59] ▶
was that the government had recovered strange metal alloys of unknown origin.
[0:02:59 - 0:03:05] ▶
Luis Alizondo has referred to these as meta-materials.
[0:03:05 - 0:03:10] ▶
The implication is that they're not special magical elements.
[0:03:10 - 0:03:15] ▶
It's not anything, but they do seem to be materials that have been studied.
[0:03:15 - 0:03:20] ▶
According to Alizondo, tests have been run.
[0:03:20 - 0:03:23] ▶
The answer has come back.
[0:03:23 - 0:03:25] ▶
Whatever these things were, they came from space.
[0:03:25 - 0:03:28] ▶
You know, for years and years, UFO researchers had talked about crash retrievals of UFOs.
[0:03:30 - 0:03:36] ▶
That elements of these objects had been recovered and were being studied.
[0:03:36 - 0:03:39] ▶
And skeptics would laugh at these claims.
[0:03:39 - 0:03:42] ▶
You know, how ridiculous such conspiracy, paranoid fantasies were.
[0:03:42 - 0:03:48] ▶
Well, guess what? Now we have it confirmed.
[0:03:48 - 0:03:51] ▶
Although the complete findings of ATIP are still considered highly classified and may never be released,
[0:03:52 - 0:03:59] ▶
its very existence provides proof that the United States military has been secretly investigating unidentified flying objects
[0:03:59 - 0:04:08] ▶
for decades.
[0:04:08 - 0:04:10] ▶
One of the really interesting things about ATIP is how much information hasn't been released.
[0:04:10 - 0:04:14] ▶
Are there more videos?
[0:04:14 - 0:04:16] ▶
They were doing this for like five years or maybe even a lot longer than that.
[0:04:16 - 0:04:20] ▶
I bet you there's a lot more.
[0:04:20 - 0:04:22] ▶
