Everything you were told is wrong. In 2017, the New York Times released a bombshell story revealing AATIP, the Pentagon's “UFO program“ and Lue Elizondo, the director of that program. It proclaimed a shocking truth: UFOs are real. Since then, that story has been reprinted hundreds and thousands of times across the world and Mr. Elizondo has reached the status of cultural icon. But we've since learned that the whole story... was wrong. In this episode, we reveal the real story of the Pentagon's AAWSAP program - led by scientist James Lacatski - and it's even crazier than you could possibly imagine: $22 million in taxpayer money spent on werewolves, ghosts, goblins, and “dinobeavers“ at the infamous Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. But UFO advocates, who are currently lobbying Congress to spend money on UFO investigations, hope you never find out about that. | Season 3, Episode 1 Watch more of The Basement Office: #thebasementoffice #ufo #pentagon #newyorkpost DOCUMENTS AND SOURCES (in order of appearance) Hal Puthoff and Scientology: Stanford ?dl=0 Project Stargate: Elizondo's resignation letter: To the Stars Academy Press Conference, Oct 2017: The “party balloon“ photo behind Chris Mellon during the TTSA press conference: Leslie Kean's October 2017 HuffPo articles: Dec 16, 2017 New York Times article: Dec 16, 2017 Politico article: AAWSAP program objectives and Lacatski's name: All AAWSAP documents released (so far): Skinwalkers at the Pentagon book: New York Magazine 2018 interview with Harry Reid: Dr. Eric Davis “Teleportation“ and “Spoon-bending“ paper: Dr. Eric Davis “Wormholes and Stargates“ paper: Harry Reid November 2021 interview with George Knapp: Pentagon statement that AAWSAP and AATIP were the “same program“: New Yorker 2021 article by Gideon Lewis-Kraus: Lue Elizondo's tweet about having no involvement with AAWSAP: Lue Elizondo 2020 email to Pentagon: Bryan Bender April 2022 tweet about being “purposely misled“ about AATIP: 2022 article: Lue Elizondo complaint filed with Department of Defense Inspector General's office: Elizondo IG Complaint ?dl=0 Podcasts included in this episode: New Thinking Allowed With Jeffrey Mishlove with Colm Kelleher: UAP Studies with Colm Kelleher: UAP Studies with George Knapp: That UFO Podcast with George Knapp and Colm Kelleher:
