Luis Elizondo

Luis “Lue” Elizondo is a former U.S. Army counterintelligence officer and intelligence official best known for his role in bringing government attention to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). He has publicly stated that he led the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a now widely discussed effort focused on military encounters with unexplained aerial objects. Since leaving government service, Elizondo has become one of the most prominent public voices advocating for transparency, national security awareness, and open scientific inquiry into UAP.
