Fun Fact: The Department of Defense Edits Videos Before They Are Leaked to the Public!

Luis Elizondo, the government insider who helped Tom Delonge and To the Stars Academy leak UFO footage to the New York Times, gave a really compelling interview for the 2018 UFO Congress. In the interview, which you can watch below, Elizondo goes into great length about the UFO phenomenon and what his role is in disclosing the truth about it.

Here are some of the key facts Elizondo stated in the interview:

• The goal of releasing the recent UFO videos is to create an unclassified database of UFOs for the public to access, so that the public can help investigate UFOs
• UFOs are definitely real and are definitely not man-made, but Elizondo hesitates to call them "extraterrestrial" or "alien," because UFOs could be from inner space or the "space in between," vs. outer space
• UFO footage that is released is cleared and edited by the Department of Defense before it is released to the public, which is often why videos are short; Elizondo says the videos are edited to protect the identify of the witnesses and other classified information
• The government will never release classified information, but may  "downgrade" classified information and then share it with the public (as it did with the JFK files)
  
• Although there is no evidence that UFOs are threatening, there is good reason to believe they could be, and in fact, Elizondo headed up  the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, which was formed  to assess the threat of UFOs
  
• Elizondo suggests that the American public pursue the truth about UFOs and insist that their leaders make the truth public
• Elizondo still has security clearance

Elizondo is obviously a credible source, and he seems sincere. However, it is important for the American people not just to ask questions about UFOs, but to ask questions about  the government insiders who are suddenly leaking information out about them.

Elizondo's own words make it clear that UFO and other classified footage is routinely covered up and classified by the Department of Defense, edited or "downgraded," and then selectively released for public distribution. In general, Elizondo, like Tom Delonge in interviews before him, paints a noble picture of the US government, doing its very best to investigate a scary and confusing phenomenon in the shadows. But is this picture an accurate one?

Unlike the government, the American people, and many career UFO researchers in fact, have been investigating and talking about UFOs in the open this entire time, so who is really to be trusted about all of this? The American people or the Department of Defense? If the people are to be trusted, then so are reports of alien abductions, and alien interactions with government personnel. That would mean there is much more  to the story than Elizondo is letting on.
