Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough says that Lue Elizondo advises the U.S. Space Force on “classified topics.”
Gough also says: “Mr. Elizondo provides technical advice on various classified topics for the U.S. Space Force.”
Although Space Force has no public stance relating to unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena (UAP), Elizondo’s contract directly relates to UAP.
After the DoD’s confirmation of his role, Elizondo said:
“Although the Pentagon’s recent statement about my current employment at U.S. Space Force is a welcome change from previous efforts to obfuscate my role in the UAP topic,
unfortunately, it does not undo the past couple of years of misstatements about my previous and continued service to my country.
“Perhaps this is a new and more transparent trend by DoD public affairs office members, but only time will tell.
“On a positive note, however, it has truly been an honor and privilege to work with some of America’s finest.
The men and women at U.S. Space Force are some of the most capable and patriotic individuals I know, and let it be known to all that may ask,
they are taking the topic of UAPs very seriously and should be commended for their efforts.
I am truly blessed to be part of such an amazing group of individuals.”
Chief of Space Operations, General Bradley Chance Saltzman.
Although Space Force has taken no public stance on UAPs,
news of Elizondo’s role, his comments that the organization is taking the topic seriously
And the potential formation of a Core Group could thrust Space Force into the UAP issue at a time when incidents are thought to be considerably escalating.
The timing of Elizondo’s involvement comes at an important time for Space Force,
as it takes on more space-based responsibilities from other military branches and transitions to a new Chief of Space Operations, General Bradley Chance Saltzman.
Of interest, incoming Space Force Chief Saltzman has served as a Minuteman III launch officer at Malmstrom and a National Reconnaissance Office satellite operator.
