Luis Elizondo headed up the Pentagon’s UFO program before it was halted in 2012. He has since been at the forefront of UFO disclosure in the US and has played a key role in the release of footage
The former head of the Pentagonâs infamous UFO programme has claimed the US government is in possession of âexotic materialâ from mysterious vehicles.
Luis Elizondo ran the Advanced Aerospace Thread Identification Program (AATIP) from 2007 until 2012, with its sole purpose of studying unidentified objects in our skies.
He has since played a key role in the leaks of several authentic videos of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in 2017 and pushing for total UFO disclosure.
Ahead of the eagerly-anticipated release of the Pentagonâs UFO report later this year, Luis appeared on Fox News to speak about what could be expected.

He said he âbelieved it was trueâ that there is physical evidence of the existence of UFOs and called on the US government to be âmore transparentâ about it.Host Tucker Carlson then asked Luis: âIs there debris or materials from any of these vehicles?â
He replied: âThe United States government is in possession of exotic material and Iâll leave it at that.

âMore analysis needs to be done. There is enough uniqueness about it where it requires additional analysis and additional expertise and thankfully there are pockets in the US government that are willing to have the conversation and conduct the analysis.
âIâm not going to say what those elements are because Iâm worried about the same type of reprisal that Iâm facing.
âBut there are pockets of people that are willing to do the right thing.â

Elsewhere in the interview, Luis claimed he came across mostly reports which detailed more than 25 UFO sightings from US Navy ships.
Mr Elizondoâs latest claims come after another video was released appearing to show a UFO plunging into the water in front at great speeds without any visible signs of damage.
It was shared online by investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell, who also previously exposed incredible footage of pyramid-shaped UFOs swarming a Navy vessel.
In an exclusive interview with Daily Star, Jeremy previously said there had been discussions among officials that such craft could be emanating from an âunderwater baseâ.
