Summary
Yahoo News syndication of a NewsNation/The Hill recap of lue-elizondo’s November 13, 2024 testimony before two house-oversight-committee subcommittees at a joint UAP hearing, and his follow-up debrief on newsnation’s “CUOMO” with host Chris Cuomo. Elizondo, former head of the Pentagon’s now-defunct Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, called the hearing a “win-win” for the country and asserted that UAP are real, that advanced technologies not made by the U.S. or any other government are monitoring sensitive military installations globally, and that documents submitted to Congress prove the issue dates to the early 1950s. He cited radar tracks of 1950s-era objects flying 10,000–13,000 mph with right-angle turns and trans-medium capability. The piece is the NewsNation companion-debrief view of the same Nov 13 2024 hearing covered from a different angle in src-gallaudet-house-testimony-2024-11.
Key Claims
- “UAP are real” and advanced technologies not made by the U.S. or any other government are monitoring sensitive military installations globally. (Elizondo)
- Documents submitted to Congress show “beyond a shadow of a doubt” the U.S. has been dealing with UAP since the early 1950s. (Elizondo)
- 1950s radar captured objects doing 10,000–13,000 mph, executing immediate right-angle and 180-degree turns, and entering/exiting atmosphere and water (trans-medium). (Elizondo)
- The U.S. has “absolutely” confirmed technology operating with anonymity in controlled U.S. airspace, over sensitive military installations, and possibly interfering with “nuclear equities”. (Elizondo)
- Public sentiment on UAP is shifting; the public is starting to grasp how long the government has been involved despite decades of denial. (Elizondo)
- AATIP’s mandate centered on national security implications of military UAP encounters. (Elizondo)
Notable Quotes
“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.” — Luis Elizondo
“These aircraft were captured on radar (in the 50s) doing 10,000, 13,000 miles an hour … and are able to execute an immediate right-angle turn, do 180 degrees, pop in and out of our atmosphere and even underwater. Where were we in the 1950s? We had barely broken the sound barrier and hadn’t even made it into space.” — Luis Elizondo
“We have absolutely been able to confirm the existence of some sort of technology that has the ability to operate with anonymity (in) controlled U.S. airspace, operate over our sensitive U.S. military installations, and possibly … interfere with our nuclear equities. Now, if that’s not a national security concern, I don’t know what is.” — Luis Elizondo
