Overview

  • Luis Elizondo unveiled a grainy photo during a UAP Disclosure Fund panel, claiming it showed a 600–1,000-foot disc-shaped UFO captured by a pilot in 2021 near the Four Corners region.
  • Critics, including UAP debunker Mick West, quickly identified the image as irrigation circles, with shadow patterns and satellite imagery supporting the explanation.
  • Elizondo admitted he could not verify the photo's authenticity, stating it was provided to him by a pilot shortly before the panel and had not been vetted.
  • The UAP Disclosure Fund alleges the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community possess hundreds of similar classified UAP images and is pushing for full declassification.
  • The incident highlights ongoing tensions between disclosure advocates, scientific scrutiny, and skepticism over the credibility of UAP evidence.
