Luis Elizondo came on the scene in December 2017, two months after his retirement from the Pentagon. A NY Times article (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/us/politics/pentagon-program-ufo-harry-reid.html?module=inline) claimed he directed the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). But did he really?
An article in The Intercept but Keith Kloor questions this.
The Media Loves This UFO Expert Who Says He Worked for an Obscure Pentagon Program. Did He? (https://theintercept.com/2019/06/01/ufo-unidentified-history-channel-luis-elizondo-pentagon/?fbclid=IwAR2hHZI1xcn5IBazSd53TeZx6A8AI-AraNjgAM0TIh82PRisPac7ZugTygk)
Whatever the truth about otherworldly UFOs (cue a collective eye-roll from scientists), there is one crucial detail missing from “Unidentified,” as well as from all the many stories that have quoted Elizondo since he outed himself nearly two years ago to a wide-eyed news media: There is no discernible evidence that he ever worked for a government UFO program, much less led one.
A few other interesting points in this article about the To The Stars Academy (TTSA) crowd:
Chris Mellon, a deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence in the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations is interviewed by Fox and Friends about UFOs. No mention that he is part of TTSA.
History Channel's "Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation” also neglects to mention it was made by TTSA.
TTSA, which is hyped as a UFO research company, is actually listed with the Security and Exchange Commission filing as a “Motion Picture & Video Tape Production” concern.
It's not commonly known that George Knapp is also an investor in TTSA.
Public records reveal that Elizondo was a resident of Toa Baja, Puerto Rico (the site of an unacknowledged government surveillance program called “Echelon” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON)) and has a long strange history with government intelligence.
As far as I know, this is the first time that The Intercept is doing a ufology related story. This is good to know because they are one of the few institutions left that do hard hitting investigatory journalism.
