alaskana98 writes: In a recent GQ magazine interview with Luis Elizondo, the former head of the Department of Defense’s “Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP),” he claims that the much publicized
“Tic-Tac” UAPs observed by the U.S. Navy have been flying in our skies for many decades: “I have in my possession official U.S. government documentation that describes the exact same vehicle that we now call the Tic Tac [seen by the Nimitz pilots in 2004] being described in the early 1950s and early 1960s and performing in ways that, frankly, can outperform anything we have in our inventory.”
He then goes on to state that he’s even heard from pilots who suffered real-world health issues as a consequence of getting too close to the objects: “I’ve got to be careful, I can’t speak too specifically, but one might imagine that you get a report from a pilot who says, “Lue, it’s really weird. I was flying and I got close to this thing and I came back home and it was like I got a sunburn. I was red for four days.” Well, that’s a sign of radiation. That’s not a sunburn; it’s a radiation burn.”
Perhaps most bizarre is a revelation that those who got closest to the UAPs experienced a form of time dilation: “‘You know, Lue, it’s really bizarre. It felt like I was there for only five minutes, but when I looked at my watch 30 minutes went by, but I only used five minutes’ worth of fuel. How is that possible?’ Well, there’s a reason for that, we believe, and it probably has to do with warping of space time. And the closer you get to one of these vehicles, the more you may begin to experience space time relative to the vehicle and the environment.”
As the saying goes, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence — but if these claims can be corroborated with evidence it would suggest that we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg in terms of information that has yet to be revealed on these things. Perhaps the
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) will drive future efforts to get a better idea (PDF) of what this phenomenon actually is.
