Lue Elizondo, a former Pentagon official who made UFO reports public, is claiming that the U.S. military, including a top official, coordinated a campaign to intimidate and defame him.

Elizondo is the former head of the U.S. government’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which was disbanded in 2012. Five years later, he made three UAP (unexplained aerial phenomena) videos public, which were later confirmed to be true by the military and were under investigation.
