1
00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:03,409
greetings ladies and gentlemen and

2
00:00:05,930 --> 00:00:05,040
esteemed members of the government of

3
00:00:08,030 --> 00:00:05,940
Brazil

4
00:00:09,950 --> 00:00:08,040
I apologize for not being able to make

5
00:00:11,870 --> 00:00:09,960
this address in person and I hope that

6
00:00:14,509 --> 00:00:11,880
my appeal is not diminished in any way

7
00:00:16,129 --> 00:00:14,519
due to my inability to be with you today

8
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:16,139
in person

9
00:00:20,090 --> 00:00:18,480
my name is Luis Elizondo and I'm a

10
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:20,100
career intelligence officer with the

11
00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:21,600
United States government

12
00:00:27,170 --> 00:00:25,199
from 2008 to 2017 I had the privilege to

13
00:00:30,349 --> 00:00:27,180
participate in a small but significant

14
00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:30,359
program within the Pentagon focusing on

15
00:00:35,090 --> 00:00:32,640
the collection of UFO data

16
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:35,100
in 2010 I was asked to lead the overall

17
00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:36,780
effort which later became a small

18
00:00:41,690 --> 00:00:38,520
footnote to my country's history

19
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:41,700
involving the dedicated study of this

20
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:43,200
phenomenon

21
00:00:46,729 --> 00:00:45,120
it was during this time that it became

22
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:46,739
very evident to all of us involved in

23
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,480
the project that our military was

24
00:00:53,209 --> 00:00:50,879
encountering a technology that far

25
00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:53,219
exceeded our own capabilities

26
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:55,440
furthermore it was abundantly clear that

27
00:00:59,810 --> 00:00:57,360
this technology had the ability to gain

28
00:01:02,150 --> 00:00:59,820
access to our controlled airspace and

29
00:01:05,570 --> 00:01:02,160
once more perform in ways that was

30
00:01:07,310 --> 00:01:05,580
unimaginable and yet verifiable by some

31
00:01:10,910 --> 00:01:07,320
of our most sophisticated weapon

32
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:10,920
platforms and data collection techniques

33
00:01:15,230 --> 00:01:13,080
on a regular routine basis our military

34
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:15,240
equities were coming face to face with

35
00:01:19,490 --> 00:01:16,560
these Technologies

36
00:01:21,469 --> 00:01:19,500
perplexing our military eyewitnesses and

37
00:01:24,109 --> 00:01:21,479
stymying our best efforts to understand

38
00:01:26,749 --> 00:01:24,119
the unique performance characteristics

39
00:01:28,609 --> 00:01:26,759
furthermore a critical concern was the

40
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:28,619
apparent interest this phenomenon has

41
00:01:33,530 --> 00:01:30,960
with our nuclear technologies including

42
00:01:34,969 --> 00:01:33,540
power generation weapon systems and

43
00:01:37,310 --> 00:01:34,979
propulsion

44
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:37,320
recently elected officials in my country

45
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,180
have decided the evidence was too

46
00:01:43,130 --> 00:01:41,520
overwhelming to ignore and called upon

47
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:43,140
our defense and intelligence communities

48
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:46,200
to participate in a public hearing of

49
00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:48,960
which I suspect many more will follow

50
00:01:55,310 --> 00:01:51,000
the result of the hearing was simple and

51
00:01:59,090 --> 00:01:55,320
yet astonishing one UFOs are real

52
00:02:03,350 --> 00:01:59,100
two UFOs most likely represent a real

53
00:02:04,850 --> 00:02:03,360
technology and three UFOs are considered

54
00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:04,860
a national interest for the United

55
00:02:11,690 --> 00:02:10,130
further reinforcing this new priority is

56
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:11,700
a requirement for our defense and

57
00:02:15,710 --> 00:02:13,440
intelligence communities to work with

58
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:15,720
partner Nations and allies

59
00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:17,760
although I applaud this new renewed

60
00:02:22,729 --> 00:02:20,040
interest in a historically forbidden

61
00:02:24,890 --> 00:02:22,739
area of study it is with great concern

62
00:02:27,890 --> 00:02:24,900
that I worry about any single country

63
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:27,900
having Monopoly on the study of what is

64
00:02:33,050 --> 00:02:30,239
now considered Beyond Next Generation

65
00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:33,060
technology and by default controlling

66
00:02:37,850 --> 00:02:34,800
the narrative on this topic

67
00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:37,860
this is precisely the mindset that has

68
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:39,840
relegated this legitimate study of this

69
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,480
topic to Fringe and pseudoscience for

70
00:02:46,910 --> 00:02:44,160
the last 70 years

71
00:02:49,309 --> 00:02:46,920
ladies and gentlemen today I speak to

72
00:02:51,470 --> 00:02:49,319
you not as a Former Intelligence officer

73
00:02:55,009 --> 00:02:51,480
not as a representative of the U.S

74
00:02:57,470 --> 00:02:55,019
government and not as a UFO expert today

75
00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:57,480
I appeal to you as an ordinary citizen

76
00:03:01,070 --> 00:02:59,760
of the world as your brother

77
00:03:02,869 --> 00:03:01,080
your father

78
00:03:05,390 --> 00:03:02,879
your son

79
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:05,400
pleading you take this topic seriously

80
00:03:11,210 --> 00:03:08,879
and to do what is necessary not just for

81
00:03:12,410 --> 00:03:11,220
your constituents but for every person

82
00:03:15,649 --> 00:03:12,420
on the planet

83
00:03:19,070 --> 00:03:15,659
today you have a rare opportunity that

84
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:19,080
comes only once in a lifetime

85
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:21,599
today I ask you seriously consider the

86
00:03:25,729 --> 00:03:23,120
establishment of a Brazilian

87
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:25,739
government-sponsored UFO program

88
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:28,319
that includes scientists and academics

89
00:03:32,750 --> 00:03:30,959
the time has come to remove conspiracy

90
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:32,760
theory and replace it with quantum

91
00:03:35,930 --> 00:03:33,599
theory

92
00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:35,940
remove stigma and replace it with

93
00:03:41,330 --> 00:03:39,480
Academia remove secrecy and replace it

94
00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:41,340
with transparency

95
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:43,920
I ask that Brazil help lead the world in

96
00:03:47,089 --> 00:03:45,840
a New Millennium of Enlightenment and

97
00:03:49,729 --> 00:03:47,099
knowledge

98
00:03:51,949 --> 00:03:49,739
I dreamed that one day Brazil May sit

99
00:03:54,770 --> 00:03:51,959
amongst friends perhaps at the United

100
00:03:56,929 --> 00:03:54,780
Nations or perhaps even in San Marino

101
00:03:59,210 --> 00:03:56,939
and help Usher in a new era of

102
00:04:01,009 --> 00:03:59,220
understanding

103
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:01,019
before I close I'd like to share a

104
00:04:04,490 --> 00:04:02,640
little little personal thought if I made

105
00:04:06,890 --> 00:04:04,500
with you

106
00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:06,900
you are in a very rare opportunity right

107
00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:10,799
now as as leaders for for Brazil

108
00:04:16,430 --> 00:04:13,620
times and opportunities like this do not

109
00:04:18,110 --> 00:04:16,440
happen very often in fact in a in a one

110
00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:18,120
person's lifetime they don't they they

111
00:04:23,230 --> 00:04:20,639
may not happen at all but as a species

112
00:04:26,930 --> 00:04:23,240
as a species these paradigm

113
00:04:29,570 --> 00:04:26,940
moments for us occur and in fact are a

114
00:04:31,730 --> 00:04:29,580
natural part of our species evolution

115
00:04:33,530 --> 00:04:31,740
one may infer the very first time that

116
00:04:35,530 --> 00:04:33,540
man came out of the cave and looked into

117
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:35,540
the heavens and realized that the

118
00:04:41,450 --> 00:04:39,120
Shadows that were were being portrayed

119
00:04:43,249 --> 00:04:41,460
on the side of the cave wall were no

120
00:04:45,650 --> 00:04:43,259
longer real that wasn't that wasn't

121
00:04:46,969 --> 00:04:45,660
Mankind's reality and crawling out of

122
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,979
the cave for the first time and

123
00:04:50,689 --> 00:04:48,479
witnessing the heavens maybe that was

124
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:50,699
the first fundamental Paradigm change

125
00:04:55,249 --> 00:04:53,280
for our species perhaps the second time

126
00:04:58,370 --> 00:04:55,259
was when mankind struck two stones

127
00:05:01,010 --> 00:04:58,380
together and created a spark and that

128
00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:01,020
spark then led to Fire and that fire

129
00:05:06,050 --> 00:05:03,060
illuminated the darkness for which man

130
00:05:08,689 --> 00:05:06,060
was scared at one time and now man could

131
00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:08,699
could now roam freely in the night

132
00:05:14,210 --> 00:05:11,400
Illuminating the darkness and perhaps

133
00:05:15,950 --> 00:05:14,220
the last time mankind came to some sort

134
00:05:18,890 --> 00:05:15,960
of Paradigm Moment Like This for our

135
00:05:22,249 --> 00:05:18,900
species was when two people were

136
00:05:24,110 --> 00:05:22,259
standing on a Sandy Beach and one person

137
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:24,120
looks to the other and says I'm gonna

138
00:05:28,189 --> 00:05:25,919
sail over that Horizon

139
00:05:29,629 --> 00:05:28,199
and of course the other person said no

140
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,639
you don't want to do that because you'll

141
00:05:33,290 --> 00:05:31,680
fall off the Earth and in fact there are

142
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,300
sea monsters out there there's giant

143
00:05:37,310 --> 00:05:35,520
Kraken and they will destroy your ship

144
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:37,320
and of course now we look back and we

145
00:05:40,969 --> 00:05:38,880
kind of laughed at that but in reality

146
00:05:42,529 --> 00:05:40,979
it turns out there are sea monsters it's

147
00:05:44,689 --> 00:05:42,539
just that those Scene Monsters now have

148
00:05:45,890 --> 00:05:44,699
names they're called great white sharks

149
00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:45,900
they're called blue whales they're

150
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:47,520
called great squid of the Pacific and

151
00:05:51,409 --> 00:05:49,440
and they're not really sea monsters are

152
00:05:53,210 --> 00:05:51,419
they they're they're part of our natural

153
00:05:56,450 --> 00:05:53,220
world they're part of nature they're

154
00:05:57,409 --> 00:05:56,460
part of our our current paradigm and so

155
00:05:59,870 --> 00:05:57,419
perhaps

156
00:06:02,270 --> 00:05:59,880
with this topic this is yet just another

157
00:06:04,129 --> 00:06:02,280
Paradigm moment perhaps we as a species

158
00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:04,139
are standing yet on another Sandy Beach

159
00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:06,479
and we're looking at the Horizon one

160
00:06:11,450 --> 00:06:08,880
more time and we're about to sail over

161
00:06:14,210 --> 00:06:11,460
that Horizon together I would submit to

162
00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:14,220
you that that change is a very necessary

163
00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:16,080
and very healthy part of our species

164
00:06:20,990 --> 00:06:18,960
Evolution and I believe we may be at the

165
00:06:23,930 --> 00:06:21,000
precipice yet again of another Paradigm

166
00:06:26,270 --> 00:06:23,940
moment for our species

167
00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:26,280
in closing I'd like to thank you for

168
00:06:30,890 --> 00:06:28,620
allowing me to speak with you today and

169
00:06:32,510 --> 00:06:30,900
thank you truly and humbly for your

170
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:32,520
attention to this most important matter

171
00:06:36,770 --> 00:06:34,800
again please forgive me for not being

172
00:06:40,249 --> 00:06:36,780
here in person but I am here with you in

173
00:06:43,249 --> 00:06:40,259
spirit and I I sincerely hope that that

174
00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:43,259
uh that you can do what's necessary to

175
00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:46,319
help Propel this topic forward

176
00:06:50,029 --> 00:06:48,479
please make no mistake you are on the
