The existence of UFOs had been "proved beyond reasonable doubt," according the head of the secret Pentagon program that analyzed the mysterious aircrafts.
In an interview with British broadsheet The Telegraph published on Saturday, Luis Elizondo told the newspaper of the sightings, "In my opinion, if this was a court of law, we have reached the point of 'beyond reasonable doubt.'"
"I hate to use the term UFO but that's what we're looking at," he added. "I think it's pretty clear this is not us, and it's not anyone else, so no one has to ask questions where they're from."
Since 2007, Elizondo led the government program, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, investigating evidence of UFOs and alien life. It was shuttered in 2012.
Its existence was first reported by The New York Times last week.
Elizondo was not able to discuss specifics of the program, but told The Telegraph that there had been "lots" of UFO sightings and witnesses interviewed during the program's five years.
Investigators pinpointed geographical "hot spots" that were sometimes near nuclear facilities and power plants and observed trends among the aircrafts including lack of flight surfaces on the objects and extreme manoeuvrability, Elizondo told The Telegraph.

You think they don't know we have recording devices? For all we know there have been UFOs for thousands of years or more, and they've become less frequent because of the likelihood of producing evidence of their own existence.
As for the focus on nuclear facilities and power plants, isn't it obvious? These are where we amass enough useful energy to reach the stars, before we squander it on war and indoor lighting. About the only thing I find surprising is that they aren't also focused on particle accelerators.
Of course, the concentration of energy in these facilities is also capable of destroying life as we know it, so maybe the UFOs are actually time travelers preventing the apocalypse. If that's true then we should have more sightings as the orange one brings us once again close to our own annihilation. Not that the shadow state is likely to let that happen either.
If there isn't at least one reference or primary source, it's not +1 Informative. Maybe the underused +1 Interesting?

akin to the national geographic filmmakers that try not to disturb the colonies of animals they are examining?
Do your thing, ants!
It's a possibility, in fact it logically defeats fermi's paradox which needs the strong implication: they are around, therefore they are detected.
