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.

It's a lighthearted television/entertainment show but for professional daylight HD capture of a claimed UFO try to find and watch the "talking about the episode" discussion thing for the the third and final part of the (Travel Channel) Expedition Unknown UFO special where they show HD video of an Unidentified Flying Object recorded by themselves (unattended camera on a tripod) on the Easter Island. One can always say that it's fake (I wasn't there so I can't say) but it is interesting to note that if it isn't fake then it gives some perspective on why so much stuff that is not in HD looks like weird blurry smudges. I would also argue that maybe the footage is indicative of an unknown natural phenomena unless someone slapped a driver over the head... :P
Weird stuff... and drunk UFO-driving? :D
As for other UFOs that are "balls of light" I would point towards "Project Hessdalen", a shoestring scientific investigation which has been going on for decades and which might be a natural plasma phenomena of plasma balls "closing" a huge natural circuit in the Hessdalen valley. Still not nailed down.
For artificial plasma balls I encourage everyone interested to search for and read the "Blue Fire" page(s) on the net which says a lot of interesting stuff about (generating) large plasma balls. Either a perfect explanation or a perfect cover story for the Groom Lake and Area 51 stuff.
Not every UFO looks like a plasma ball though, the most interesting ones (2nd and 3rd degree) don't. Which is a shame since plasma balls can appear like they do all the maneuvering stuff and solves questions such as why there is no sonic booms or visible shockwaves, why there are "impossibly" sharp angles, speed, and "stepping" (seriously read "Blue Fire", I think the new name of the blog with updated annotations is "The other hand" or something like that, too lazy to dig up the link).
Blue Fire is not to be confused with Blue Beam which is about claimed preparations/studies for a faked alien invasion false flag operation for social control.
On the physics of it all I'm not a physicist but from what I understand right now in physics we don't really know what we don't know (because all the testing seems to give valid results) except that quantum mechanics and special and general relativity don't match up (so something is unarguably wrong, even I know that) and all attempts at a grand unified theory have failed. We/they probably need to find "smaller clues" that might be easier to deal with so that we/they can uncover our hidden unconscious assumptions (something akin to the differences between Newtonian and Einsteinian physics). Some of the stuff we call UFOs might be more than a single paradigm shift away from our current understanding so of course we'll not have any idea how that could work.
