Elizondo Met UFO Program Point Man From 1980s

This document, published on the Silva Record on July 20, 2020, details an account provided by Luis Elizondo, a former director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), during an appearance on the radio program Coast to Coast AM with host George Knapp. Elizondo recounts a meeting that took place in a SCIF on the Hill, where he was invited to discuss UAP matters at a classified level. During this meeting, an older gentleman, who did not initially introduce himself, approached Elizondo and claimed to have held his specific government position during the 1980s. Elizondo notes that the individual's presence and the reaction of others in the room suggested he was a legitimate figure with a history in the field. The individual stated that the 1980s program did not get as far as the AATIP program, though the specific meaning of this—whether in terms of personnel, political support, or findings—remained unclear to Elizondo. The document highlights this as the first time Elizondo has confirmed the existence of a U.S. government UFO program operating prior to AATIP and AAWSAP. The article also includes commentary from various individuals in the comments section, who discuss the implications of this revelation, referencing other documents such as the Eric Davis/Adm Wilson notes and the broader context of UAP research.
