Former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo testifies to Congress about UFO retrievals but claims he’s restricted from full disclosure.
Elizondo’s Testimony Reveals Government Restrictions
Luis Elizondo, a former Department of Defense official and noted UFO investigator, testified to Congress about the governmental limitations he encountered in Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) investigations. During the session titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth,” Elizondo revealed that he had signed restrictive non-disclosure agreements three years ago, which now hinder his ability to discuss UAP crash retrievals openly.

When asked if he could confirm that the U.S. government has conducted covert UAP crash retrievals and attempted to reverse engineer alien craft, Elizondo simply responded, “Yes.” This concise affirmation sent shockwaves through the hearing, suggesting that the government may indeed possess otherworldly technology.

Restrictions and Classified Information
Elizondo emphasized that he can only discuss information approved by the Pentagon for his book and expressed a preference to speak more candidly in a closed session. He testified that the U.S. government provided him with documentation preventing further disclosure on crash retrievals. This documentation is reportedly stored in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), with Elizondo not possessing a personal copy.

These revelations raise serious questions about government transparency and the extent of classified information regarding UAPs. The restrictions placed on Elizondo, a former insider, suggest that there may be significant findings that remain hidden from public view.
UAP-Related Injuries and Government Involvement
In a startling revelation, Elizondo indicated that U.S. contractors might be involved in retrieval programs and confirmed that there have been injuries related to UAPs. He stated, “That’s why I think we’re here — again — because I’ve seen the documentation by the U.S. government for several of these individuals who have sustained injuries as the result of a UAP incident.“ This testimony suggests that the phenomenon poses real risks to human safety.
According to Elizondo, government employees injured by UAPs have been placed on leave and received compensation. This information adds a new layer of complexity to the UAP issue, indicating that it’s not just a matter of curiosity but also national security and worker safety.
Congressional Frustration and Calls for Transparency
Rep. Nancy Mace expressed frustration over the government’s secrecy and questioned the use of taxpayer dollars on UAP-related activities. Mace criticized the government’s efforts to hide information from the public, questioning the existence of UAPs if they are being concealed. Her comments reflect a growing impatience among lawmakers and the public for more openness on the UAP issue.
The testimony of Luis Elizondo and the reactions from Congress members underscore the need for greater transparency in UAP investigations. As more information comes to light, it becomes increasingly clear that the phenomenon deserves serious attention and open discourse. The American people have a right to know about potential non-human technologies and their implications for national security and scientific advancement.
