Elizondo was not able to discuss specifics of the program, but told The Telegraph that there had been “lots” of UFO sightings and witnesses interviewed during the program’s five years.
Investigators pinpointed geographical “hot spots” that were sometimes near nuclear facilities and power plants and observed trends among the aircrafts including lack of flight surfaces on the objects and extreme manoeuvrability, Elizondo told The Telegraph.
"There was never any display of hostility but the way they manoeuvred, in ways no-one else in the world had, you have to be conscious something could happen,” he said.
Despite Pentagon funding running out in 2012, Elizondo oversaw UFO work for another five years before resigning in October 2017 out of frustration with the secrecy of the investigation. He had pushed for videos of the possible alien sightings to be made public so people could see the footage.
In his resignation letter to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, he asked, “Why aren’t we spending more time and effort on this issue? There remains a vital need to ascertain capability and intent of these phenomena for the benefit of the armed forces and the nation."
Elizondo told The Telegraph he’d like to see someone prop up the probe again.
"I'd say bolster the programme. We want Nasa to find life on different planets, but we have highly educated pilots here and they're seeing something they can't understand."

Distract from what?
Go back to your whiskey. You’re good.
Victims of the Roman Empire would agree with you.
What is your point?
Do you dismiss them also by telling them to go back to their whisky.
Come on...give it to us. What is your point about Matt 2?
If you are a believer, you have a burden to help the rest of us see and understand the Gospel.
I believe in you. Give it a try.
Wanna bet?
God Bless Texas!
Not a fun prospect. OTOH, as Wells so brilliantly pointed out, the common cold - to a Human could well be the Black Death to BEM.
(BEM = Bug Eyed Monster)
Have you not seen “Mars Attacks”?
No I haven't.
I humbly suggest we stop thinking in terms of Star Trek or ET, and instead think in terms of the Bronx Zoo. Zookeepers and their charges are, by necessity and (you could say) by design, biologically compatible.
I'd qualify that with 'in the galaxy' and 'at this time'; if you accept the ideal of going from primitive creature to (us) an advanced civilization in less than 25,000 years, it seems reasonable to assume that more could have existed at some point in the past several billion years.
It’s ok. Slim Whitman killed all the bad guys. Happy Ending.
And the Martians blew up Congress.
Yes, the odds say that life should exist out there. It also says that the chance is over billions of years and depending upon who you consult, humanity has been around for the smallest of fractions of that time.
The odds say nothing of the sort.
We do not have enough information to calculate the odds. But, given that we have found nothing, it suggests there is no other life form to communicate with us.
We may be effectively alone. Perhaps our duty to God is to populate the universe with life.
The ‘new world’ would have been very much different without small pox and other European introduced diseases which wiped out huge populations before ‘white’ eyes set upon the earlier arrivals.
‘Get off my lawn’ is absolutely a valid thought when considering biologic introductions. Heck, if just they have a bacteria which thinks our intestinal bacteria is super yummy, most of us are dead within weeks.
Biologic contamination is orders of magnitude more critical, yet of course is always absent from science fantasy novels. (Oooh, don’t let them see us as we might contaminate their development...)
Well, now that you brought it up, please exegete Matthew Chapter 2 for us with the goal of explaining just what it is you are talking about.
Do proceed..
