In October of 2017, this counterintelligence officer and trained special agent by the name of Luis Elizondo, stepped out of the shadowed halls of the Pentagon and into the public spotlight. Whether he intended it or not, by doing so he would become an instant celebrity to UFO enthusiasts for saying something that would soon shake the entire world.

Luis Elizondo: “By far the most interesting effort I was involved with was the topic of advanced aerial threats. For nearly the last decade, I ran a sensitive aerospace threat identification program focusing on unidentified aerial technologies. It was in this position I learned that the phenomena is indeed real.”

Within minutes of speaking these words, The Black Vault used this once insider information to file numerous Freedom of Information Act requests to see what documents could be dug up. The idea was that in the eyes of the law — if this former government agent was talking about it – the documents may just be ripe for the pickin’ if one    were to ask for them. So that’s exactly what I did.

This unfolding saga brought me hope that after more than 20 years of pushing for the truth, the veil of secrecy surrounding the UFO phenomenon might just be lifting once and for all – and things were drastically changing.

Evidence of that change was revealed just two months after Elizondo stepped foot on that stage. That is when the mainstream media covered Elizondo, and his story, was a viral sensation all over the world.

But as excitement exploded worldwide about this “Secret Pentagon UFO Study” known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program or AATIP; controversy had already begun to percolate inside The Black Vault about what was really going on.

Just three weeks prior to the NY Times running their now world-famous headline; the Pentagon told The Black Vault they had no records on any program that Elizondo had described. Not a single piece of evidence whatsoever.

A couple months after that; the Navy denied they gave anything to the AATIP program, despite what Elizondo had claimed.

And then just months after that; the Pentagon issued a statement that was the most damning of all. They claimed that Elizondo “had no assigned responsibilities” on the AATIP program that he had brought to light.

As the months, and years, passed since the initial headlines; The Black Vault became highly critical of Elizondo’s claims. That is not a popular stance to take, and as social media can easily prove, that type of stance can come with a little bit of heat!

But it wasn’t just Elizondo on the receiving end of criticism. The Pentagon and the entire U.S. government has had a history of covering up UFO data for decades; and it appeared that’s what they may have been doing again. But to what extent?

My guest today, is the man who started it all… Luis Elizondo himself. Despite The Black Vault’s criticism, and admittedly the nitpicking of every detail in order to find the absolute truth, Elizondo has agreed to step into the Vault and share his side of the story in a special one on one interview.

Stay tuned – you’re about to journey INSIDE THE BLACK VAULT.

Kaye https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/podcast/ep-64-cover-up-at-guantanamo-special-guest-jeffrey-s-kaye/ Sat, 19 Dec 2020 13:34:28 +0000 John Greenewald https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/?post_type=podcast&p=12658 full 64 1 Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.

Located on the southeast corner of Cuba, about 400 miles from Miami, Florida, this base stretches across 45 square miles of land and water.

But located within this area, lies a highly secretive, and highly controversial detention camp often referred to as: Gitmo. Established by President George W. Bush in 2002, horrifying tales of torture and death have plagued its short history.

As this military prison housed some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists, at least eight of them died while incarcerated. The DOD claims at least 6 were by suicide. But were they?

My guest today is author Jeffrey Kaye. In his book Cover-up at Guantanamo, Jeffrey explores two of these mysterious deaths, detailing meticulously, declassified military documents; horrifying tales of drugs possibly used for interrogation purposes; the lack of basic human rights; and strong evidence of a massive cover-up of the truth.

Buckle up… you’re about to journey INSIDE THE BLACK VAULT.

The WHO, WHAT and POSSIBLY the WHY https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/podcast/ep-63-the-leaked-ufo-photo-the-who-what-and-possibly-the-why/ Sat, 05 Dec 2020 17:21:14 +0000 John Greenewald https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/?post_type=podcast&p=12567 full 63 1 Did you see the “leaked” UFO photo released this week by the new blog site “The Debrief”? Well, here it is, along with a breakdown of how this all came to pass. And, I put forward just a working idea to offer a different take about what just happened.

Note: There is an awkward start to this, and not my normal show open where I welcome you all to the show. I had an audio hiccup on the live feed for about 30 seconds, which I trimmed out. Obviously, I make references to visuals, as this is the audio version of the video presentation. If possible, I always recommend the live stream over the audio-only, which is available below.

It has brought us a global pandemic; riots in the streets of America; and a Presidential impeachment trial that turned the United States upside down. But in between those world changing events – the UFO phenomenon has increasingly been given more credibility and more serious exposure on the nightly news programs.

But maybe most of all – the phenomena has revealed itself again to be not only worthy of scientific scrutiny but also worthy of respect by the general public.

My guest today is Stephen Bassett. For nearly 25 years, he has aimed to end what he calls a “government-imposed truth embargo behind extraterrestrial related phenomena.” He organized a Citizen Hearing on Disclosure at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. and he spearheaded political initiatives that injected the ET issue into the 2016 Presidential campaign.

Pending lawsuits and controversy aside, with a new Presidential administration about to take over, how – if at all — will that change the landscape for the UFO issue that has picked up steam in the past couple of years?

Stay tuned… you’re about to journey INSIDE THE BLACK VAULT.

A topic that continues to fascinate the public, and has, for decades.

Now, after more than nearly 50 years of denying interest in the topic – the U.S. military, and certain members of Congress, want answers.

Recent documents obtained by The Black Vault prove that more is going on behind the scenes than has been reported.

From classified briefings… to Pentagon spokespeople who clearly don’t want to talk – what’s this all really mean?

Socorro, New Mexico.

Officer Lonnie Zamora witnesses a craft of unknown origin, two humanoid like figures beside it, and a mysterious insignia printed on the ship.

With physical trace evidence left behind in the area, the US Air Force would later try, but fail, to explain what happened. The case remains unexplained to this day.

Now, the FBI releases some new information to The Black Vault which sheds not only some new light on the encounter but more so, the UFO subject as a whole.

But do they?

In 2019, the NY Times reported multiple Naval encounters with UFOs. And although evidence exists they tried to verify that on an official level, The Black Vault just received documents that show they may not have been able to.

Did the NY Times hide UAP related information they did receive for a year? Did they change the date and timeframe of a UFO case they previously reported on, in an attempt to connect evidence to it that was unrelated?

It’s time for you to decide if you’re hearing the whole truth.  From my side – here’s what I found out.

And since then, they have oddly chosen to rarely tackle the issue.

But recently, they published a new article that offered bombshell revelations about “Off World Vehicles” being recovered by our U.S. government.

Yet, is it all accurate? With multiple corrections by the New York Times being posted, and with other changes to their original article without any acknowledgement at all, who knows what to believe any more?

But, what happens, when documents surface by unofficial means?

Leaked documents and unsubstantiated rumors have plagued the field of UFOlogy for decades. And the biggest question we all have to ask ourselves when that so-called evidence does surface; is should this information ever be taken seriously at all?

From Majestic 12 to Project Aquarius, and from Project SERPO to the Roswell Slides – these stories and many more have surfaced over the years from unknown or highly questionable and unreliable sources at best. And like anything with the field of UFOs, it is never black & white, and usually always comes with a heavy dose of controversy.

My guest today, is Alejandro Rojas. He runs the well known OpenMinds.tv website, and he writes extensively about science, space, science fiction and UFOs. And when he tackles the latter, he has dug in deep to try and separate fact… from fiction.

Join us, as Alejandro and I break down some of today’s hottest topics within the field of UFOs – and whether they should be hot topics at all.

Stay tuned… you’re about to journey INSIDE THE BLACK VAULT.

Ep. #56 – The Admiral Wilson Leak: A Breakdown & Analysis https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/podcast/ep-56-the-admiral-wilson-leak-a-breakdown-analysis/ Sat, 20 Jun 2020 03:30:22 +0000 John Greenewald https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/?post_type=podcast&p=11716 It consists of just 15 pages… but the implications are astounding.

The Admiral Wilson papers chronicle a secret meeting in Las Vegas, where deep dark alien secrets were revealed.

The leaked documents are named after the one who allegedly spilled SOME of the secrets… Admiral Thomas Wilson.  He was a highly decorated Navy officer who also served as the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency for three years ending in 2002.

As with any leaked record within the UFO community, it comes with controversy. Although some herald the leak as the greatest secret to be revealed in the last century; others consider it a well-thought out hoax which involves names of controversial UFO figures.

Who is right? What does Admiral Wilson himself say?
