Enter Elizondo
Almost.
Almost did I forget.
Nearly did I lose sight of the biggest story ever.
Persuaded by voices that tempted me to return to the “real world”.
“Come back to us”, they cried, “Do not become one of them. Do not become another soul gone off the rails. Be normal. Settle. Don’t look up. Don’t try to believe, because you’ll never find what you’re looking for. And if you do, you’ll never be strong enough to possess it.”
Still I hear them. I hear them, and I think, perhaps the battle may never end, but I’ll never stop fighting for Truth. I will always pursue my best approximation of it. I’ll listen to anyone and everyone. And I’ll do my absolute best to understand them. But I will follow my internal light. My intuitions — my gut. And if there is no divine ember to be found, so be it. But I will take action on it. I will dig as deep as I need to. Because this subject deserves not only to be talked about, but to be used a beacon to lead us from our darkness. We have a right to believe anything is possible.
And you, the reader, you have a right not to suffer — not to endure a life riddled with pain. We may need hope, but we need real solutions more. Equally as important, we need to know if we’re in danger. Seriously. As a planet. As individuals. That’s what UFOs are about. Yeah, it can be fun to read about, but there’s something deeper. Sobering. I don’t say this as some conspiracy nut that lives to speculate. I say it because it’s true.
So the war waged — Obedience vs Truth. For a time, the war seemed lost. And life managed to go on without UFOs. There are other things: relationships, jobs, health, hobbies. But even then I knew that something incredibly important was lost. Something that, perhaps, was worth devoting everything I had to. Because when I’m honest with myself: about the most meaningful thing I could ever pursue, about what I want more than anything, about what keeps me up at night and what I fear, about what I should chase in this one life, I always come back to the same idea:
Man needs this. Life needs this. And this is the only way to get it.
Then, one day, I saw a video of a man named Luis Elizondo. He explained that the program he ran for the Pentagon (the HQ of the US military) determined that craft exist which can radically outperform any jet. He described vehicles that were several evolutions more advanced than anything made by humans — leveraging a knowledge of physics beyond top engineers. Craft using anti-gravity. Flying in our skies as we speak.
His team, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, AATIP, ascertained this using several “hard” data-collection methods, spanning years of investigation. Elizondo described an effort much broader and more formalized than the usual “soft” eye-witness account. With $22 million in funding, its goal was determining “what is it” and “how does it work” concerning US military encounters. It has since been succeeded by the UAP Task Force, and today, the AARO program.
I was quite struck by his words. He wasn’t speculating. He wasn’t guessing. He was informing. And in doing so, he was quietly revealing that, despite telling everyone otherwise for decades, the US government has a genuine interest in UFOs. Asked what all this ultimately means, he replied:
“There is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone”.
Digging Deeper
Maybe I’m a sucker — but Lue caught my attention.
He had caused me to reevaluate UFOs. But what I really couldn’t understand was why this wasn’t everywhere.
Was I not hearing the same thing as everyone else? Did this not just essentially end the debate of whether we were alone?
Does nobody care, even a little?!
For as stunned as I was, I was more absorbed by what I was hearing. Why would this government official be going news channel-to-news channel talking UFOs? There were few reasons I could think of to do as he was, risking eternal ridicule and hugely embarrassing one’s family. It seemed most likely that he was simply telling the truth — one I already suspected. And while I didn’t have any reason to think this guy was incompetent, or a liar, I wanted to be sure he actually was who he claimed to be.
The details aren’t important, but yes, he checked out. Senior leadership confirmed this to public satisfaction. Not to mention that, since then, this is all he’s been doing. And as a follower of his story since that video, I can tell you, I’ve only ever seen his identity doubters grow quieter. I’ve only ever seen his skeptics fall away. Not only is Lue legit, he’s a good man.
Don’t listen to me, however. Don’t even listen to Lue (which he suggests too). Follow the evidence. Make your own conclusions. And remember — at the end of the day, the subject is either real or it isn’t.
But for me, his credibility was the nail in the coffin.
I was back in the game.
So, I explored this new narrative. And I noticed a few things. Connections that were pretty surprising — that evolved my former mindset. Patterns that ultimately led me to a shocking revelation:
UFOs aren’t just lights in the sky. They touch the deepest depths of our lives.
But that’s for another time.
As for what I noticed:
Firstly, the Navy UFO encounters and their videos appeared legitimate. Especially the Nimitz incident. In tangent with major media and podcasts, particularly Joe Rogan and Lex Fridman, the credibility of witnesses David Fravor and Ryan Graves became established. By way of more witnesses emerging, the stories only ever seemed to move towards truth. Such quality cases were central to Elizondo’s discussion of AATIP’s findings. And so, both Lue and the UFO reality felt increasingly factual.
Secondly, Lue was working with a company called TTSA: To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science. Led by rockstar Tom DeLonge, this project communicated knowledge of the UFO topic to the public. In particular, Tom claimed he was in contact with US government insiders — gatekeepers of a real, secret, decades-old UFO program. A coverup. While difficult to understand why a musician would be employing the former AATIP boss, let alone why he would have such contacts, his heavyweight lineup of colleagues was hard to deny. Tom assembled an army of high-level, credible government officials to “bring the topic to light”.
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, Wikileaks showed that Tom DeLonge was, in fact, in contact with several US government insiders. The Podesta Email leak. The contents of these emails are open source. For whatever reason, Tom was emailing and calling with two US Air Force Generals, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager, and the VP of Lockheed Martin’s elite “Skunkworks” division — seemingly about UFOs and TTSA. Over several podcasts, including the Joe Rogan experience, Tom explained how a man he called “The General” explained the reality of UFOs to Tom in exchange for a public communication platform. And with a little digging into the professional history of these individuals, it seemed quite conceivable that — perhaps — they were exactly the people he claimed. And so, surprisingly, things seemed to line up.
Evolution began.
