An ex-Pentagon official, who gained fame for blowing the lid off a $22-million, secretive government UFO program, has revealed an image of an alleged UFO ‘mothership.’
Luis Elizondo, a career US Army counterintelligence specialist, previously ran the military’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.
Monday night in Philadelphia at a private UFO event, Elizondo dropped what he described as a craft ‘looking like the mothership from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,”‘ referring to the 1977 Steven Spielberg film.

‘Guess what we caught in Romania in 2022? By the way, the US Embassy,’ as Elizondo told attendees at the paid event, gesturing to the photo (above): ‘That’
Veteran US Air Force Staff Sergeant, Jeremy McGowan, who witnessed a dramatic UFO encounter himself in the Middle East decades ago, told DailyMail.com that Elizondo’s dubious ‘mothership’ UFO fits a pattern with the man’s past claims.
‘This unfortunate situation with Lue follows my experiences with him nearly exactly,’ McGowan said. ‘I witnessed him exaggerate or outright fabricate information that simply wasn’t true.’
Elizondo unveiled the 2022 Romanian UFO photo at an October 28, 2024 event held at The City Winery, a wine bar in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for $50-$30 per ticket.
John Greenewald Jr, a longtime government transparency advocate who runs The Black Vault , quickly tracked the photo back to a September 13, 2023 post in a Facebook group titled ‘ Mysterious Ancient Discoveries’ (above)
The higher resolution image of this apparent ‘mothership,’ which looks at first glance to be piercing clouds with its beatific shafts of light, appears more likely to have originated as the reflection of an indoor chandelier lamp reflected in window glass
