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.

    There is a lot of Hubris from scientists who think that they are certain that faster than light travel or anti-gravity are impossible with absolute certainty, given that the theories which say it is impossible come from a limited set of observations of the behaviour of forces under a limited set of arrangement of magnets, matter, etc. Then they extrapolate that behaviour to apply to all other arrangements and configurations. Thus if there were an affect that would allow for anti-gravity that for instance appeared only with very specific configurations of magnetic fields, perhaps rotating ones, temporal and spatial configuration, it would unlikely to be found by these people because it could be unlikely to be found by accident. This is why antigravity or FTL has not really been ruled out.
