Pentagon has extremely clear 23 minute UFO video showing multiple craft moving in strange patterns claims insider

THE PENTAGON allegedly has in its possession a 23-minute long video of UFOs moving in a strange pattern that will leave viewers "rattled", a former insider has claimed.

Lue Elizondo, who headed up the secretive Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), revealed the existence of the footage as pressure continues to mount on the US to come clean on the phenomena.

Mr Elizondo, a former intelligence officer, who resigned from the Pentagon in 2017, claimed he has seen the UFO footage which he characterised as "compelling" and enough to make you go "woah".

He revealed snippets of information while giving interviews on YouTube channels Witness Citizen UAP and Fade to Black.

The former insider is considered a leading authority on UFOs - and investigated the phenomena with AATIP until the unit was quietly dissolved in 2012.

Mr Elizondo described the footage as "extremely compelling", "definitive" and "perplexing" - and said it was circulated amongst the US intelligence community.

The video is said to show multiple UFOs which are moving in ways and strange "patterns" that humans do not conventionally understand - with data recorded using US military systems.

It was recorded while he was still at AATIP between 2008 and 2012, the craft were big enough for "several" human sized beings to fit inside, and the objects were not a "Tic Tac" shape.

However, he declined to reveal further details - invoking his commitment to secrecy and warning he might be arrested if he said too much.

He first mentioned the clip when describing UFO videos that would leave viewers "rattled" while speaking on Witness Citizen UAP.

Mr Elizondo was giving interviews as the fallout continues from the release last month's UFO report which seemed to confirm there are mystery phenomena which have baffled the military in the skies over the US.

It comes as some US lawmakers are now calling for hearings on the topic, which is being characterised as a national security threat and has stepped from fringe conspiracy theories to a genuine and serious debate.

Despite not being the full disclosure document some were hoping for the report did reveal the US military cannot explain 143 out of 144 of sightings of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs).

What is going on with UFOs in the US?

UFOS have stepped from fringe conspiracy theories to a genuine national security debate in the US.

Pentagon officials last year took the unprecedented step to confirm a trio of remarkable videos which showed US encounters with UFOs.

The debate is still open as to what the phenomena caught on film were â€" but it made clear to everyone, something is in the skies.

Perhaps the most striking was a video known as the “Tic Tac” â€" which showed an unidentified object being pursued by fighter planes.

The US also confirmed the existence of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) â€" a Pentagon programme set up to study UFOs before being disbanded in 2017.

However, it was replaced by the UAP Task Force in June 2020 after a vote by the US Senate Intelligence Committee.

Defence chiefs have since confirmed a number of leaked UFO videos and photos which were submitted to the Task Force for investigation.

Why this sudden rush for transparency?

No outside the secretive wings of the US government currently knows for sure.

And as a tacked on addendum to a 5,500 page Covid relief bill passed in December, the the Director of National Intelligence’s office was ordered to compile a report on UFOs within 180 days.

The UAP report dropped as expected on June 25, and while not giving much away - it did not rule anything out either as much of it remains classified.

The US appear to have acknowledged that UFOs - whatever they are - are real and are a potential threat to national security as they appear to be able to enter restricted airspace with total impunity.

Is it aliens? Officially the US position is simply, "we don't know yet" as further disclosure is expected in the coming months and years.

UAP is now the more common term used to describe the encounters amongst government circles - with the UAP Task Force being set up to investigate them by the US in 2020.

Speaking about the 23 minute video, Mr Elizondo told Fade to Black: "The video was extremely compelling - one of many - to the point where I remember getting some expertise to look at it.

"I did not say what it was. I sent it out to some highly trained experts in the ISR (Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) community.

"And when they came back to me, the title of the email was quote unquote 'that UFO video'."

He added: "It is definitive and its perplexing, every time you think you are like 'thats what I am looking at' - bang, it changes."

When quizzed by host Jimmy Church on the way the object moved, its speed and if it was "beyond our capabilities", Mr Elizondo said it was enough to make officials "raise our eyebrows and say 'woah'.".

He described the objects as having "peculiar movement" and moving in ways and patterns "we wouldn't really understand".

The insider said he hopes the video may be released at a public hearing so "everybody can see it for themselves" - and he added "there are other ones which are equally compelling".

FULL DISCLOSURE

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is expected to update Congress within 90 days following the UFO report's release, and the Pentagon are believed to be setting up a dedicated UFO office.

The report - officially titled "Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena" - was ordered by Congress as a tacked on addendum to a Covid relief bill back in December.

It was commissioned after the Pentagon took the extraordinary step of confirmed a trio of stunning videos showing encounters with pilots - admitting they could not explain the phenomena.

Lawmakers who were briefed on the classified version of the report have also spoken out - not giving details, but suggesting they want more information.

It has been speculated the classified report may be 70 pages long and contain information about "alien tech".

US lawmakers commissioned the report after a stunning string of leaked videos which showed military encounters with objects such as the infamous "Tic Tac".

It marked an incredible turnaround after the government dismissed UFOs at the conclusion of Project Blue Book in the 1960s.

Some unhappy UFO fans branded the report a "whitewash", but it is seen by many as the first step on the road to truly understanding what is going on in the skies.

The report admits the encounters could be previously unknown aircraft from China, Russia or event a "non government" terror group.

But it crucially did not rule out an extraterrestrial, or perhaps even extradimensional, origin for the encounters.

The Sun Online previously revealed the Pentagon is believed to have in its possession a picture of a "Black Triangle" UFO rising from the ocean in one of the most stunning encounters ever caught on camera.
