An ex-defense official has claimed the US government is deliberately hiding that fact we are ‘not alone’ - amid numerous drone sightings across the country.

Luiz Elizondo, who was the head of the Defense Department's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, made the shocking remarks about an alleged ‘cover up’ while testifying before congress last month. The hearing, attended by numerous other witnesses, was held to investigate UFOs, otherwise known as unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAPs).

Speaking before lawmakers, Elizondo and others claimed that a government group was “hid[ing] the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos.” He added, according to Fox News: “I believe that we as Americans can handle the truth. And I also believe the world deserves the truth.” Elizondo also urged Congress to bring forth legislation that could protect potential whistleblowers in relation to UFO sightings.

And, of course the - - - "The Department of Homeland Security, FBI, FAA & Department of Defense released a further joint statement saying: “Having closely examined the technical data and tips from concerned citizens, we assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones."

I really hope Trump tells us the Truth. About so many things.

I can see the drones being used to soften us up for the alien deception that I believe can be safely said will be used to prepare the world for being under the Anti-Christ.

It would be cool but I honestly doubt any intelligent alien life form has visited Earth . Maybe we might find some mold on a space rock some day but that would be the extent of alien life

Not much of a chance aliens that travel through space would be using drones to watch us.

“Not much of a chance aliens that travel through space would be using drones to watch us.”

Especially with green and red navigation lights.

I think it might be revealed during the Trump era or within the next 10 years or so. Even discovering micro organisms would change everything.

For me personally the most mind bending scenario would be to find out earth is the only place in the universe with life.

Did he present proof or is this his opinion?

Well then, the aliens have a sense of humor choosing New Jersey.

Any extraterrestrial aliens that have the ability and intellect to come to earth will never be seen easily...

[gundog]

The ETs are just playing with us, the way we play with cats with laser pointers.

I can’t help but think about what Ezekiel said he saw in the Bible.

Btw some of the readers here seem to have drones on the brain.

In defense official Luiz Elizondohis testimony to the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, he never mentioned drones. Not once.☺

[dragnet2]

Here is his written testimony.

"Btw some of the readers here seem to have drones on the brain."

That's because the same people promoting the mysterious drone narrative are the same people promoting the ufo narrative and they intertwine the two.

From his written testimony”

“Let me be clear: UAP are real. Advanced technologies not made by our Government – or any other government – are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe.”

Oh yeah!

[dragnet2]

""A small cadre within our own Government involved in the UAP topic has created a culture of suppression and intimidation that I have personally been victim to, along with many of my former colleagues. This includes unwarranted criminal investigations, harassment, and efforts to destroy one’s credibility.""

Sounds par for the course.
