• Luis Elizondo, the CIA spook – turned – Pentagon UFO investigator, has lodged a complaint with the Department of Defense’s Inspector General’s office claiming malicious activities, professional misconduct and other offenses at the agency. Politico learned that Elizondo’s legal team said he would be meeting with IG investigators in June. [ED: And apparently Steven Greer’s consigliere, Daniel Sheehan, is providing Elizondo’s legal representation. See several videos below.]

• Once a fringe talking point, UFOs are evolving far beyond science fiction to be viewed as real phenomena that could pose a national security threat. “I want us to take it seriously and have a process to take it seriously,” Senator Marco Rubio told 60 Minutes.

• In the complaint, Elizondo also accused the defense department’s press arm of trying to discredit him through misleading comments. “Several internet bloggers were notified … that I had no duties regarding AATIP and that AATIP did not involve the study of UAPs,” Elizondo wrote. “As a result, the bloggers began to disseminate reporting, accusing me of being a fabricator.”

• Elizondo said one senior-level official went so far as to threaten to tell people he was crazy, potentially jeopardizing his security clearance. “I responded … by telling him that he can take any action he thinks is prudently necessary, but that I was not mentally impaired, nor have I ever violated my security oath,” Elizondo wrote, adding he feared retribution by the official.

• Since retiring from the Pentagon, Elizondo has called for more government interest and resources around understanding UFOs. “Leadership involvement was almost non-existent,” he said, even as “UAP reporting to our office was increasing”. “I became alarmed by the frequency and duration of UAP activity in and around controlled US airspace,” he wrote in the complaint. “The instances seemed more provocative, and during one instance, they came within feet of a US fighter aircraft.”

A Pentagon whistleblower known for speaking out about UFOs is accusing his former

agency of waging a disinformation campaign against him, a report says.

Luis Elizondo, who headed the Pentagon’s now-defunct Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, lodged a complaint with the defense department’s inspector general claiming malicious activities, professional misconduct and other offenses at the agency, according to Politico.

He said one senior-level official went so far as to threaten to tell people he was crazy, potentially jeopardizing his security clearance. “I responded … by telling him that he can take any action he thinks is prudently necessary, but that I was not mentally impaired, nor have I ever violated my security oath,” Elizondo wrote, adding he feared retribution by the official.

The complaint comes a month before a highly anticipated report on unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, is set to land before Congress. Once a fringe talking point, unexplained objects in the sky are evolving far beyond science fiction to be viewed as real phenomena that could pose a national security threat.

“I want us to take it seriously and have a process to take it seriously,” Senator Marco Rubio told 60 Minutes.

The inspector general’s office did not give Politico details on the status of Elizondo’s complaint, though his legal team said he would be meeting with IG investigators in June.
In the complaint, Elizondo also accused the defense department’s press arm of trying to discredit him through misleading comments.
