The US government has communicated with non-human life forms linked to UFOs, according to sworn testimony by former Pentagon insider Luis “Lue” Elizondo, who also revealed they have the ability to interfere with nuclear systems.
Luis Elizondo, a former military intelligence official who resigned and went public in October 2017 after 10 years of running a Pentagon program to investigate UFO sightings, explained that much of his work remains classified, restricting how much he could share with the hearing.
Testifying under oath during a joint hearing by subcommittees of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, Elizondo replied “definitively, yes” when asked by Rep. Jake LaTurner whether non-human life forms have been in communication with the US government.

“The term communication is a bit of a trick word because there is, ahh, verbal communication like what we are having now, and the problem is, you also have non-verbal communication and so I would say ‘definitively, yes,’ but from a non-verbal meaning,” explained Elizondo.
“When a Russian reconnaissance aircraft comes into US airspace, we scramble two F-22s and we are certainly communicating intent and capability. I think the same goes with this,” he continued..
“We have these things which are being observed over controlled US airspace, and they are not really doing a good job hiding themselves. They are making it pretty obvious they have the ability to interfere with our nuclear equities and our nuclear readiness.”
Elizondo was joined by a new slate of witnesses who provided fresh testimony regarding UFO sightings and the experiences of the US government in communicating with non-human life forms.
Usatoday report: The hearing, which surpassed two hours, represented Congress’ latest foray into the topic of UFOs following another round of testimony in July 2023.
The hearing’s title? “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth.”
The UAP acronym is the official term the government now uses to refer to the unexplained phenomena, arguing it is less loaded and stigmatized than “UFO,” but it also accounts for the fact that, as witnesses reinforced on Wednesday, many sightings are of objects in the water.
Here’s a look at some of the most compelling testimony that each of the four witnesses provided:
Email about UAP wiped from account, retired Navy rear admiral says
Timothy Gallaudet, an American oceanographer who was once the acting administrator of NOAA, said he got first-hand confirmation that UAP were real in 2015 while working for the NAVY.
During a training exercise that year taking place off the East Coast, Gallaudet described an email he received when he was serving as the U.S. Navy’s chief meteorologist. The email warned about “multiple near-midair collisions” and attached a now-declassified video of a UAP captured by a Navy F/A-18 aircraft.
Gallaudet, retired rear admiral in the U.S. Navy, testified it was clear that the intent of the email was to ask if anyone was aware of classified technology demonstrations taking place. But the next day, he said, the email disappeared from his account with no explanation.
Gallaudet described a disinformation campaign amongst high levels of the government, including the Pentagon’s office to investigate UFOs, to discredit reports and the whistleblowers who make them. That office, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO,) issued a report in March saying it has found no evidence that UAP are extraterrestrials.
Witness: Gov. sitting on trove of UAP imagery
One of the more compelling revelations was a report shared by journalist Michael Shellenberger about a shadowy UAP program created in 2017 following a New York Times story exposing another top-secret Pentagon program.
Shellenberger, who publishes the “Public” newsletter on Substack, claimed sources have told him that intelligence communities “are sitting on a huge amount of visual and other information” about UAP.”
“And they have for a very long time and it’s not those fuzzy photos and videos we’ve been given, it’s very clear, high resolution,” he added.
Asked how many images or videos, Shellenberger said “hundreds, maybe thousands.”
NASA called upon to invest in UAP research
While NASA released its own UAP report last September, Michael Gold, a former administrator at the space agency, called on the organization to do more.
NASA’s investment into UAP research “would make a powerful statement to the scientific community that UAP should be taken seriously,” Gold, who is part of an independent NASA UAP study team, testified.
Many UAP can often be explained as drones or weather events, Gold admitted. But for those few reports that defy explanation, Gold insisted they’d be better captured with instruments tailored to study the phenomena so as to prevent us relying on cellphones and fighter jets’ cockpit gun cameras.
The suggestion was among the recommendations in NASA’s report.
