I’m a former Pentagon chief and I know US investigated UFO abductions of military staff – they must reveal the truth
AN ex-Pentagon chief claims the US has investigated UFO abductions of military staff.
Luis Elizondo headed a secret £16million investigation into the unexplained phenomena and insists UFOs - now more commonly known as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) - exist.

The former intelligence officer revealed the US has previously probed military personnel being kidnapped by UFOs.
In an interview with journalist Baptiste Friscourt, Elizondo was asked: "Did you investigate military personnel suffering an abduction?"
To which he responded: "Yes, and unfortunately I can't go into more than that at this time."
It is yet another revelation from the insider who gave up his post and now is looking to open up the conversation on UFOs.

Elizondo headed up AATIP - a secretive Pentagon programme that ran between 2007 and 2012 to study UFOs.
It was outed by the former intelligence official turned whistleblower back in 2017.
Since then, US Navy pilots have come forward to seemingly credible evidence and testimonies about encounters with UFOs.
Elizondo believes more people may now feel comfortable sharing their stories.
When asked whether the number of abductions had gone up, he responded: "That's a hard question to answer because we don't know if it's actually increased or if more people are feeling comfortable to report and come forward, and so therein lies the problem.

"It's just like crime rates on the streets when you hear crime rates have gone up ten per cent or has gone down tell per cent this year - well has it really, or is there just more police on the streets, or are the lawyers convicting or are the judges throwing more cases out.
"We have to be careful with numbers because we need a lot of number for it to really make sense and we just don't have a whole lot of numbers yet that we need."
The former investigator last year told The Sun Online that UFOs are flying over the US, the military doesn't know what they are or who is behind them, and that they can't be stopped.
While he could not discuss much of his work as it remains "classified", he said he has seen "very very compelling" data which convinced him of the existence of these strange objects seemingly menacing the US.
He resigned his post on AATIP as he sought to bring the discussion about the UFOs - now more commonly referred to in scientific circles as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) - into the mainstream, describing them as a "national security issue".
"I am not a UFO guy, I am an investigator, my job was simple, to collect the data and speak the truth," Elizondo told The Sun.
"There is something in our skies, we don’t know what it is, we don’t know how it works, we don’t know fully what it can do, we don’t know who is behind the wheel, we don’t know its intentions, and there isn’t a damn thing we can do about it."

It comes after lawmakers admitted the US is “powerless to stop UFOs entering its airspace" as the Pentagon starts its classified briefings on mystery aircraft.
Lawmakers have also said national security agencies still aren’t taking the reports seriously of highly sophisticated and advanced flying craft of unknown origin violating the country’s airspace.
