Former Pentagon official and military witness come forward with shocking UFO revelations as ‘drone’ wave leaves Americans on edge
A US military witness with more than 25 years of experience has revealed his own nighttime encounter with a UFO, which lit up his campsite and ‘made absolutely no sound’.
The event took place less than a month before a senior ex-Pentagon counter-intelligence official, Luis Elizondo, testified before Congress and accused government actors of secretly working to “conceal the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos.’
The Oct. 21, 2024, campsite UFO, according to the military witness who requested anonymity, hovered as close as 100 meters above him along the tree line: “The whole area lit up brighter than the brightest full moon I’ve ever seen,” reported he. .
“I knew it wasn’t the moon because I had located the moon before,” the trained observer noted of this 6-9 meter long UFO. ‘[The moon] was a dimly lit, diminishing gallows.’
The career soldier, who reported the event to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), added: ‘I observed it for at least a minute before fear took over and I sank back into the back of my truck and into my sleeping bag. .’
The oval-shaped “stationary, bright white light” resembles a new public case reported last November by Connecticut police officer Robert Klein, who claimed that a sphere UFO the size of a Mini Cooper “lit up the entire cabin” of his patrol car in 2022.
Fears of car-sized “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP), often described as “mystery drones,” have swept the country since November, as sightings in New Jersey and surrounding states eerily match those over U.S. military bases.
Local leaders in the Garden State are “furious,” according to journalist and author Michael Shellenberger, who obtained audio of a video briefing given by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to more than 500 New Jersey mayors.

‘One of them [i.e. a mayor] I went there,” Shellenberger told Fox News, “and said, ‘I had two drones the size of a car hanging over my house.
The case of the new public military witness, as he related NUFORC was itself approx 8 to 10 feet tall, making this bright oval UFO about the size of a school bus.
The sighting, which the trooper said lasted more than a full minute, took place at the Santa Rosa Mountain Yellow Post campgrounds, just southwest of California’s Joshua Tree National Park, where he was “the only camper/hunter in the area that night.” ‘was.
“I was lying in the tarp of my truck,” he told NURFOC, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that has worked with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on UFOs for decades.
“It was pitch black outside,” he said, as the waning moon shone dimly – when “immediately” the usual sounds of the insects and wildlife “became completely silent” as the UFO appeared.
“It made absolutely no noise, didn’t pulse or move or radiate any kind of heat,” he said, adding that the temperature that night was “about 40 degrees Fahrenheit.”
By his estimation, this “stationary, bright white light” was “about the size of a medium-sized helicopter, but with the light encompassing the entire object” as it hovered at “treetop level,” behind an approximately 30-40 foot tall pine tree. , only about 100 yards away.”
The encounter, which ended as abruptly as it began, differed from Officer Klein’s encounter with a car-sized glowing ball UFO in that the Connecticut police officer’s observation pulsed the light from white to red to green to orange.
The experienced officer went out of his way to emphasize this NewsNation that in the first moments of his encounter he was able to “get a very close-up of it” from 30 feet below the floating, sphere-like object: “It wasn’t a drone, I can guarantee you that.”
Swarms of drones have been spotted in New Jersey skies for weeks, prompting officials to call for a ‘limited state of emergency’ – with drone bans taking effect in some areas
Mayor Mike Ghassali of Montvale, New Jersey revealed on Facebook what happened to a resident’s quadcopter drone when they came into contact with a mysterious drone UFO hovering in the sky nearby – noting that in December “sophisticated” technology in the game was 15 event
The military witness provided the coordinates of his October 2024 UFO sighting at 33 degrees 32′ 12.8″ North and 116 degrees 27′ 38.7″ West (red pin, above) – and placed it on Santa Rosa Mountain Yellow Post-camping east of Los Angeles on his time
“I froze,” Klein said, recalling that moment as he looked at the object. ‘I wasn’t afraid. I was just really trying to understand what exactly I was looking at.”
“I was just trying to process what I was looking at,” he said. “To this day I’m perplexed.”
Speak before Congress last NovemberLuis Elizondo, former head of the Defense Department’s UFO hunting Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), criticized federal officials for “excessive secrecy” on the UFO issue.
“I believe that we as Americans can handle the truth. And I also believe that the world deserves the truth,” Elizondo said.
The former intelligence officer also urged Congress to pass legislation that would protect government whistleblowers who are afraid to reveal what they know about UFOs, a common refrain among those testifying at the Nov. 13, 2024, open hearing .
The hearing, held by the House Oversight Committee, was part of a larger investigation into UFOs to determine whether government officials withheld evidence from Congress.
“Advanced technologies not created by our government, or any other government, are monitoring sensitive military installations around the world,” Elizondo pointed out, raising disturbing implications for the hasty sightings of “mystery drones” on U.S. bases.
In recent months, the Garden State has been plagued by thousands of unexplained drone sightings, while more than 5,000 reports of strange drones have been filed with federal law enforcement agencies.
While misidentifications of conventional aircraft are widespread amid growing public panic, reports from US military officials across America and Europe, along with local police, have told matching stories about these car-sized drones.
The light colors and behavior of the drone swarm are consistent with those of the drone swarm that also repeatedly carried out brutal raids over the restricted airspace above Joint Langley-Eustis Air Force Base in Virginia, then home to the American stealth F-22 fighter fleet.
For at least 17 nights in December 2023, swarms of these noisy, small UFOs were also seen at dusk “moving at high speeds” and “flashing red, green and white lights.”
And these cases are nearly identical to what has been reported since mid-November 2024 over sensitive locations in New Jersey, such as the U.S. Army’s Picatinny Arsenal.
Base police have reported 11 confirmed and unauthorized drone sightings over the armory since November 13, meaning security officers’visibly witnessed a drone.’
Senior ex-Pentagon security official Chris Mellon told DailyMail.com last October that the unexplained raids over Langley-Eustis were “part of a much larger pattern affecting numerous national security installations.”
“Two of the notable aspects,” he said, “are the fact that our drone signal jamming devices have proven ineffective and that these craft make no effort to remain hidden.”
“In some cases,” Mellon pointed out, “it’s even clear that they want to be seen as challenging us.”
