Ex-official who revealed UFO project accuses Pentagon of 'disinformation' campaign
The former Pentagon official who went public about reports of UFOs has filed a complaint with the agency's inspector general claiming a coordinated campaign to discredit him for speaking out — including accusing a top official of threatening to tell people he was "crazy," according to documents reviewed by POLITICO.
Lue Elizondo, a career counterintelligence specialist who was assigned in 2008 to work for a Pentagon program that investigated reports of "unmanned aerial phenomena," filed the 64-page complaint to the independent watchdog on May 3 and has met several times with investigators, according to his legal team.
The claim that the government is trying to discredit him comes weeks before the director of national intelligence and the Pentagon are expected to deliver an unclassified report to Congress about UFOs and the government's strategy for investigating such encounters. The report is expected to include a detailed accounting of the agencies, personnel and surveillance systems that gather and analyze the data.
"What he is saying is there are certain individuals in the Defense Department who in fact were attacking him and lying about him publicly, using the color of authority of their offices to disparage him and discredit him and were interfering in his ability to seek and obtain gainful employment out in the world," said Daniel Sheehan, Elizondo's attorney. "And also threatening his security clearance."

aaaaaah! That's what this is about.
I wanted to speculate it was maybe coverup for the USA and Israel's latest culling of Palestinians, but the USA and Israel don't really have to hide that. What are you gonna do about it? Form an alliance between the EU, Russia, and China to bring the USA to justice?
Drumming up funding for space force makes more sense. Gotta get that Pentagon budget over the first big 1 Trillion.

The aliens will bring humanity to trial. The drones are collecting the evidence.

Well, that's what the humans get for their human exceptionalism!
Given the tendency of UFO enthusiasts to actually be talking about angels, it's entirely fitting that we have people waiting for the aliens to beam up the 144,000 some odd elect and then dispense some kind of white throne judgement.
Probably there's a fleet of Oumuamuas that already started decelerating 53 years ago before they were aware that Earth is the planet of the apes.
