'UFOs are real!' Former Department of Defence official makes astonishing revelation

A former senior military officer has spoken at a public debate and made an astonishing revelation - that UFOs are real. Luis Eiizondo is an intelligence officer and has worked with the US Army and the Department of Defense, appeared at a forum organised by the To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science.

The event focused on research into UFOs, or unexplained aerial phenomena, and related technology, and Luis explained that he once worked on a project that investigated the threat of alien spacecraft. He then went on to say how he had seen genuine evidence of alien vessel - and added that he planned to release it to the public.

Do you think UFOs are real? Let us know in the comments...

Speaking in 2017, Luis said: "Something unexplained is always assumed to be a potential threat until we are certain it isn’t. On the bright side, I believe we are closer than ever before in our understanding of how it operates.

"I am accustomed to being involved in close-hold, nuanced programs involving national security. This includes being a counterintelligence special agent, a case officer, and intelligence practitioner.

"However, by far the most interesting effort I was involved with was the topic of advanced aerial threats."

Luis worked with the Department of Defence for almost a decade and said during that time he saw evidence that proved the existence of UFOs.

He added: "I learned that the phenomena is indeed real."

Luis said that he left the military and was working with the To The Stars Academy and that said he planned to release photo evidence he had seen.

He continued: "We are also planning to provide never before released footage from real US Government systems...not blurry, amateur photos, but real data and real videos.

"We are inviting our Government colleagues and friends in Defense to participate regularly with their own findings."

Since then, a quaint village on the border of a National Park has become a 'UFO hotspot', a mysterious vanishing light in the sky has left people baffled as some say it could be a UAP, and Dozens of baffled pilots have reported spotting strange objects flying over the Pacific Ocean over the last two months.

Meanwhile, a 'former CIA agent' has shared a shocking deathbed confession - saying that Area 51 is real and that he went there and saw real-life aliens.

The anonymous 77-year-old man spoke to UFO researcher Richard Dolan and award-winning documentary maker Jeremy Corbell during a sit-down interview where he lifted the lid on top-secret government projects.

He made claims about the infamous Area 51, said he'd seen UFOs in the flesh, and confirmed the existence of extraterrestrials.

He gave the sensational interview after allegedly being warned to stop sharing confidential information as he thought he would soon pass away.
