(NEW2017) A former Pentagon official who led a recently revealed government program to research potential UFOs said Monday evening that he believes there is evidence of alien life reaching Earth.The Top secretive program tracked UFOs for 5 years 03:24 Elizondo told The New York Times he resigned from the Department of Defense in October in protest over what he called excessive secrecy surrounding the program and internal opposition to it after funding for the effort ended in 2012. A pair of news reports in The New York Times and Politico over the weekend said the effort, the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, was begun largely at the behest of then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, who helped shore up funding for it after speaking to a friend and political donor who owns an aerospace company and has said he believes in the existence of aliens. Elizondo said Monday that he could not speak on behalf of the government, but he strongly implied there was evidence that stopped him from ruling out the possibility that alien aircraft visited Earth. ARE WE ON THE EDGE OF ALIEN DISCLOSURE? It sure is looking that way. Whats next they will admit ALIENS are already here? Are you ready for an ALIEN invasion. Do you think they would come in peace? Or just clear us away for their own earthly needs? We just may be about to find out.... (Que, the X-Files music...) LIKE SHARE and COMMENT We always want to know what YOU think! SUBSCRIBE TODAY!
