UFO whistleblower says Pentagon tried to silence him ( Changing America )

     

The Pentagon whistleblower has filed a complaint accusing his former agency of “malicious activities, coordinated disinformation, professional misconduct, whistleblower reprisal, and explicit threats.” 

 

A Pentagon whistleblower who has been outspoken about UFOs has filed a complaint with the inspector general accusing his former agency of “malicious activities, coordinated disinformation, professional misconduct, whistleblower reprisal and explicit threats,” according to Politico.

Luis Elizondo, who was head of the Pentagon’s discontinued Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, claims a senior-level official even threatened to call him “crazy” and wage a disinformation campaign to discredit him.

 

“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 that the Pentagon’s press team even got involved.

“Several internet bloggers were notified … that I had no duties regarding AATIP and that AATIP did not involve the study of UAPs,” Elizondo said. “As a result, the bloggers began to disseminate reporting, accusing me of being a fabricator.”

Elizondo said he felt the need to become a whistleblower out of fear and concern for the country.

“I became alarmed by the frequency and duration of UAP activity in and around controlled U.S. airspace,” he said. “The instances seemed more provocative, and during one instance, they came within feet of a U.S. fighter aircraft.”

A spokesperson for the Defense Department Inspector General's Office declined to comment.

“I cannot speculate or deliberate about complaints that our office may have received,” Dwrena Allen told Politico. “I certainly cannot confirm or deny the existence of an investigation to the same.”

Elizondo’s legal team said it would be meeting with investigators in June.

Next month, Congress will receive a report on unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, evolving to become a possible national security threat.
