UFO Existence 'Proven Beyond Reasonable Doubt': Former Head Of Pentagon Program

Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

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.

    But he's a former head of a Pentagon program. That should make him untrustworthy as part of the conspiracy. So we have to conclude that UFOs don't exist.
    No wait, that's what they want us to think by that move, so they actually do exist.
    But then, they probably anticipated that conclusion, so this is again evidence that UFOs don't exist.
    On the other hand, also this conclusion might have been anticipStack overflow.

      all this time I thought he was talking about illegal aliens and that they needed more funding to build a wall. i mean those things from space dont have citizenship and they might already be H1Bs so you can never be too careful.

    Good idea, we should post the question on StackOverflow!
