Former Air Force intelligence officer and National Reconnaissance Office representative to the UAP Task Force

Background & evidenceFormer Defense Department intelligence official, author and UAP disclosure advocate
Luis 'Lue' Elizondo is a former Pentagon official associated with AATIP and UAP disclosure. His asserted program role and nonhuman-technology claims have distinct evidentiary questions.

Background & evidenceIdentify the public record for a role, service history or qualification. An employer biography and a person's own statement are different kinds of sources.
Separate what someone observed, what they heard from others, what they read and what they inferred.
Ask what can be independently examined. A record may confirm employment, a meeting or a video’s provenance without establishing an extraordinary interpretation.
Look for missing data, scope limits, contradictory records and attributed official responses. Uncertainty is reported alongside the claim.
We do not assign numerical trust scores or treat an oath, security clearance, title or government hearing as proof that every allegation is true. Each profile links its sources and explains what they support. See our editorial standards.
