Reid told the magazine that \u201che had never actually seen proof of the remnants \u2014 but tried, unsuccessfully, to get approval from the Pentagon to find them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was told for decades that Lockheed had some of these retrieved materials,\u201d Reid said. \u201cAnd I tried to get, as I recall, a classified approval by the Pentagon to have me go look at the stuff. They would not approve that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what all the numbers were, what kind of classification it was, but they would not give that to me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Before leaving office, President Donald Trump signed a COVID-19 relief bill that included a provision demanding the Pentagon release a comprehensive report on its\u00a0Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat report must contain detailed analyses of UFO data and intelligence collected by the Office of Naval Intelligence, the\u00a0Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force and the FBI, according to the Senate intelligence committee\u2019s directive,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/01\/10\/us\/ufo-report-emergency-relief-bill-trnd\/index.html\">per a CNN report<\/a>. \u201cIt should also describe in detail \u2018an interagency process for ensuring timely data collection and centralized analysis of all unidentified aerial phenomena reporting for the Federal Government\u2019 and designate an official responsible for that process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ex-Pentagon official who claims to have been in charge of the AAIP program, Luis \u201cLue\u201d Elizondo, claims that while he ran the Pentagon UFO office, he discovered evidence not just of higher-level technology, but of \u201cbona fide\u201d alien encounters, according to Elizondo\u2019s own interview <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/04\/30\/feds-cover-up-of-ufos-puts-us-at-risk\/\">with the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a holy-s\u2013t moment,\u201d Elizondo said of discovering evidence of alien visits. \u201cOh, my gosh, it\u2019s real. Well, crap, now we have to do something about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elizondo indicated to the Post that the forthcoming Pentagon report may not contain a full assessment of his findings, though he believes the truth will eventually be revealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe level of interest is reaching a critical mass,\u201d he said. \u201cI think [government officials realize that] it would be like putting the cat back in the bag or like putting toothpaste back in the tube. Now that the government has acknowledged the reality of Unexplained Aerial Phenomenon [or UAP, which is synonymous with UFO] \u2026 it\u2019s going to be real hard to backtrack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reid said, recently, that he backs Elizondo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Elizondo has spent his career working tirelessly in the shadows on sensitive national security matters, including investigating UAPs as the head of AATIP,\u201d Reid said in his own statement on the matter. \u201cHe performed these duties admirably.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
