Former defense official says government is hiding UFO secrets from Americans
Share:
A former defense official has said the government is hiding UFO secrets from Americans, amid the spotlight on apparent drone sightings over the East Coast in recent weeks. Luis Elizondo, the former head of the Defense Department's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, told Congress last month about an alleged government group 'hiding the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos'.

'I believe that we as Americans can handle the truth. And I also believe the world deserves the truth,' Elizondo said. Elizondo was among those claiming that whistleblowers are afraid to come forward, while urging Congress to pass legislation which would protect them.

The hearing was part of a larger investigation into UFOs, also known as unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAPs), to determine whether any government officials have been withholding evidence from Congress. It comes as wild footage showed what appeared to be a UFO hovering in the skies over New Jersey before suddenly accelerating away on Sunday.
In a short 13 second clip posted to social media, a white light blinked in the sky before suddenly vanishing, leaving onlookers stunned. In the footage, which was shot close near Atlantic City, family members were heard discussing what they witnessed before the object suddenly disappears.
