Former director of Pentagon UFO program confirms that religious beliefs hinders disclosure

"What We Know And What We Believe Are Not Always The Same Thing", is the latest article by Luis Elizondo published on Medium.com. Here is the link https://theascent.pub/what-we-know-and-what-we-believe-are-not-always-the-same-thing-d77d3c8019a7

Elizondo´s article is quite straightforward and with a lot of common sense in it´s message. The main reason I post it here, is because Elizondo himself confirms the latest information about how religious beliefs inside the Pentagon put a stop to the "Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program" (AAWSAP) which was a program with a broader mission than the AATIP. Elizondo being the former director of the latter program. AAWSAP was more of a program for paranormal/psychological phenomena and one of phenomena the program was researching was the one at Skinwalker Ranch.

But a powerful group of people in the Pentagon and the Department of Defense did not like the information AASWAP gathered from Skinwalker Ranch. Elizondo writes the following in the above mentioned article about this powerful group of people:

UAP has even been associated with demons and anti-Judeo Christian beliefs.

I experienced this first-hand during my time working at the U.S. Government’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), where certain senior government officials thought our collection of facts on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) was dangerous to their philosophical beliefs.

In fact, my AATIP predecessor’s career was ruined because of misplaced fear by an elite few. Rather than accept the data as provided by a top-rank rocket scientist, they decided the data was a threat to their belief system and instead, destroyed his career because of it.

Although in private each confided to me they knew the phenomena was real, it still contradicted their view of the world and their beliefs. Therefore, they viewed the effort as an affront to their religious narrative and belief system.

Now, UAP or UFO do not exclusively refer to what we think of as a classic "flying saucer." An UAP or UFO can for instance be a small orb of light. Those kind of light orbs are common at for example Skinwalker Ranch. My point being, again (I say it in the first post from this date, 20181109), that the certain senior government officials that thought the facts on UAP was dangerous to their philosophical beliefs, were mostly opposed to the research on the Skinwalker Ranch.

Although note that Elizondo writes that the same senior government officials in private confided to Elizondo that they knew the phenomena was real.

So are religious government officials in the U.S. representative of religious citizens in the U.S? I assume we in this case mainly are talking about different branches of christianity and judaism. If so, does it mean that some kind of social upheaval and psychological trauma would occur among religious citizens in case of disclosure of the phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch?

Disclosure is complex and it is not going to be easy no matter how you go about doing it. I am pretty convinced that a not so insignificant minority of the world's population will have a hard time handle the truth behind the UFO phenomena. Not only religious people from different traditions and cultures.

Are we prepared to take care of people who will be scared, anxious and even traumatized? Is it possible to mentally and emotionally prepare people for the truth of the UFO phenomena?

How do we minimize the psychological damage?

Take care,
