The existence of UFOs has "proved beyond reasonable doubt", a former Pentagon official has said.
Luis Elizondo, the former head of a secret US government programme, believes that Earth may well have been visited by alien life via the unidentified aircraft and that there is also proof.
He resigned from the US Department of Defence in October to protest against the excessive secrecy and opposition to the programme he was in charge of.
Speaking to the Sunday Telegraph , he said: "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 were looking at.
"I think it's pretty clear this is not us, and it's not anyone else, so one has to ask the question where they're from."
Mr Elizondo could not comment whether or not his team had examined UFO sightings as it was still classified information.
But he told the newspaper there had been "lots" of sightings.
He ran the Advanced Threat Identification Program, funded with £16.5million, from his office in the Pentagon.
The team identified movements and trends that were not like anything else "in the world".
They also discovered "hotspots" during their investigation, which were often near nuclear facilities and power plants.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Just why would the UFO’s themselves be so secret? Probably nothing here to want.
Er, that was the entire purpose of this Pentagon group.
What he is saying is that the DOD unclassified what he has provided and is still holding other stuff behind the "classified" shield.
In other words, this is a DOD operation.
We never get beyond witness accounts and blurry photographs. I need something more to believe that we’ve been visited by aliens.
This guy is hyping something.
They are dispensing chaff to confuse us.
Merely being unidentified does not prove extraterrestrial origins.
As long as it does not involve getting butt hurt.
Heck, “Men in Black” showed conclusive proof years ago.
He is probably still on the guvvie payroll. In other words, his boss is using him to hype something (his boss as in DOD).
This is a U.S. Government disclosure.
Exactly. Still unidentified. What’s new?
Show us a piece of what these so called “spacecraft” are made of. Just one piece.
He can’t. No one can. Because there have never been any such vehicles or beings here.
Aliens often used weather balloons as cover.
I don’t believe he is/was DoD at all.
I don’t believe any of he story.
Wow.
Only $20,000,000 to discover that there is heat in power stations.
A bargain.
“That seems like a lot of money spent to discover the obvious. Did you discover anything else?”
“Ummmmmm.....aliens.....yeah.....aliens......invisible aliens.....yeah.....we discovered invisible aliens.....flying around in invisible spaceships.”
‘could have been visited’
Some of them stayed and multiplied. They are called democrats.
I’m still planning to bag one.
And it’s not going to care what kind of pants I’m wearing when I do.
If existence of UFOs has [been] “proved...”, then why the weasel wording? If UFOs did exist, and we knew it, then this would be classified deeper than just “secret”. Especially if we had technology from said UFOs.
Ex-UFO program chief: We may not be alone
