UFO Hearing: Ex-Pentagon Official Says Government 'Cabal' Is Hiding 'the Fact That We Are Not Alone'
Former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo claims that a 'cabal' within the government is hiding evidence of extraterrestrial life.
Elizondo, who previously served as the head of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), testified before the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday about what he knows about UFOs.
In his testimony, Elizondo said that he believes that the government has been hiding evidence of extraterrestrial life for decades.
"I believe that there is a concerted effort within the government to hide the truth about the UFO phenomenon," Elizondo said. "I believe that there is a cabal of individuals who are protecting their own interests and who are afraid of what the public would do if they knew the truth."
Elizondo's testimony comes as the government is facing increasing pressure to disclose what it knows about UFOs.
Last year, the Pentagon released a report that confirmed that the military has been investigating UFOs for decades.
The report, however, did not provide any definitive answers about what UFOs are or where they come from.
Elizondo's testimony is the latest in a long line of claims from former government officials who say that the government is hiding evidence of extraterrestrial life.
These claims have been met with skepticism by some, who say that there is no credible evidence to support them.
However, Elizondo's testimony is likely to add to the pressure on the government to come clean about what it knows about UFOs.
