One Former Pentagon Official Says It Proves The Existence Of Extraterrestrial Intelligence

The U.S. Department of Defense has declassified and released a video captured in 2004 by a Navy jet that some say proves that extraterrestrials have visited Earth.

In the video, which was released through the New York Times and tweeted by CNN, a UFO described by pilot David Fravor as a "40-foot-long Tic Tac" can be seen maneuvering rapidly and changing its direction.  In the audio portion of the video, one of the pilots says "there's a whole fleet of them, look on the S.A. They're all going against the wind. The wind is 120 knots to the west." The object appears to rotate as it flies.

CNN reports that in an interview on it's "Erin Burnett OutFront" program, former Pentagon official Louis Elizondo said that he believes that the video is evidence of aliens visiting Earth. Burnett was the head of the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program. He said in the interview that he had resigned from the DOD in October to protest what he said was excessive secrecy surrounding the program, and internal opposition to it. The program was defunded in 2012.

Elizondo said that the objects, which were called "aircraft" in the program, display "characteristics that are not currently within the US inventory nor in any foreign inventory that we are aware of." He added that one of the objectives of the program was to identify what had been seen through technology or eyewitness accounts, and "ascertain and determine if that information is a potential threat to national security."

A lot was discovered, he said, including objects that appeared to defy the laws of aerodynamics. The aircraft had no obvious forms of propulsion and exhibited extreme maneuverability "beyond, I would submit, the healthy G-forces of a human or anything biological," Elizondo said.
