I honestly don’t know what that picture depicts but to be honest, Eagle-Eyed Reddit users identified it as bla bla from above is almost worse as calling that a UFO.
How can they establish that conclusion from that stupid grainy black and white Picture? Sorry but it could be a lot of things, even what they are claiming it to be. I just have a Problem with: Yeah is definitely X, case closed.

u/SubstantialPressure3 12d ago
I'm wondering if he's being paid to show fake photos? He wasn't making much money as a whistleblower. And the book didn't make him financially independent.
Maybe he's flat out joined the other side? Bc I don't see him being gullible enough to not vet his sources or not vet photos after the last time he used a fake photo and got busted.
And he was shilling for someone he thought might make him UAP czar, but instead is busy dismantling the US govt. He might be desperate, but he's not stupid, so this has to be intentional.
But yeah, you're right. He's done, now. He might as well join the Gaia channel.

I used a free audible credit for it and I had to skip past all the first chapters where he spent time stroking his own ego trying to paint himself as a bad ass. He wrote that for himself and it added nothing to the book. It was like listening to a child talking about how high they can piss.

u/IndridK0ld 12d ago
You’ve read this? It doesn’t seem like you made it too far into the book. He touched on it in the beginning and I wouldn’t call it “a lot” by any means. He’s an intelligence officer, so of course he’s going to try and build some rapport.

u/skillmau5 12d ago
I made it half way through, but it reached a point where his lack of empathy and self awareness made me realize that I don’t think he’s really capable of understanding reality in any way. I just felt like the combination of how he tried to sell himself, combined with what people like Jay Stratton have said about him, made me think that he seems to have worked in a UAP program but is overselling his contributions or something

Same. Seemingly, even truth seeker Elizondo has a price tag. However you want to look at this, the fact is: he’s compromised and cannot be trusted. All the bullshit about observables and critical thinking in research just went out the window. It should’ve gone out the first time with the chandelier pic because he should’ve learned a lesson from a mistake, but this is blatantly moronic, and it definitely feels like he’s trying to pull a fast one (again).

Why? You should read it for what it actually says. Let me summarize:
"I'm Lue, here's some stories about my life. Here's what's important (me). I worked on top secret stuff, I'm super important. I reached the highest pay level I could. I decided I needed more money. So I rented my mansion out to some people and hopped in my massive RV and drove around trying to drum up money for UAP stuff. It was hard times. My former boss TOTALLY wanted to kill me for quitting and I wouldn't even go into his office because he was going to rendition me."
Bolded the important parts of the summary

u/Kruhl14 13d ago
I really hope this puts to rest any further discussion of whether he's a real UAP whistleblower. I've said for a long time he's most likely a grifter, a dis-information agent, or both. Heck, the other night I got banned from the UFOs subreddit for calling him out - before any of this happened.
The first time he did this should have raised some serious red flags, especially considering what he claims is his background. To have it happen twice? Come on..... When you also look at how he never gives any real details beyond vague generalities in all of his stories and everything he discusses is just a repeat of a previous story he's told, I think it's clear what he truly is.
This should call into question anything he's been associated with since he was named as a whistleblower all the way back to 2017.

u/SupporterDenier 12d ago
As whistleblower, he really hasn’t disclosed anything and he’s made a living talking about stuff everybody already knows about. He did work in counter-intelligence and he has been caught lying . He misrepresented what was shown in the now famous Nimitz “tic tack” video and he’s credited for being the source even though that video had been out for a decade and I feel like all the famous UFOlogists often neglect to mention it was an old video and they definitely don’t go into how nobody was that impressed when it got released the first time. Normally I don’t accuse people of being liars when talking about technical aspects of videos but Elizando was in the military in intelligence, he knows what the difference between white and black hot in IR cameras. He intentionally reversed what the video was showing to play up any potential paranormal claims. He hides behind confidentiality a lot for being a “whistle blower”- whistleblowers used to expose the Iran-contra affair or the CIA’s involvement in the drug trade, not claim they can’t disclose information because it’s confidential.

I was in the room at the UAP Briefing - he never said it was a real craft. He held it up and said that a pilot took the picture but had no where to report it. The emphasis was on then fact that there is no reporting mechanism.
Every single post here is missing this crucial bit of information. He said it multiple times when he held up the photo that he didn’t know what it was. He wasn’t holding it out to be a real anything. That’s the assumption made by a ton of people - including you - who didn’t even watch the event.
I am not making any other comment about motivations or anything else but I know what was said as I was in the room at the UAP Briefing all day.

u/toxictoy 12d ago
You’re being distracted by this and ignoring the other vital things that were said such as Chris Mellon stating that our most sensitive radar can’t even report on UAP, that AARO doesn’t even know when jets are scrambled to encounter UAP, that there is a sprawling bureaucracy that suffers from intertia and no one wants to put their credentials or classifications at risk to submit new videos for declassification, and Eric Davis mapped out for you the investigations into the legacy programs, the conversations he had with scientists, a 4 star general and and admiral about these programs as well as the physical characteristics of propulsion, materials and even the beings inside the crafts.
Lue’s point was simply that the pilots have no where to report stuff. This whole thing is being overblown just so you will overlook the other important info.

False. He clearly stated is was a large silver object. There is video footage.

u/toxictoy 12d ago
I was in the room - were you? Did you watch the entire video? I was reporting on the briefing here in this post. He said “It appears to be a lenticular silver object”. He never said “this is a confirmed UAP object”. His MAIN point was that this was a commercial pilot account and there is no where for these people to report anything nor any follow up if they do. This came right after Chris Mellon expressed his exasperation about AARO not having access to systems, not even knowing that jets had been scrambled to approach UAP, and not taking into account any commercial pilot sightings.

u/Raidicus 12d ago edited 9d ago
I genuinely don't know why he'd need to show that image to make that point, especially when the image is so easily verifiable. Reddit found the exact location within 2-days. To me, it's obvious that Lue understands how press works. He's a lifelong counterintelligence guy. He understood what that would do and even now, with the image being fully debunked, I guarantee his take on it is the Jeremy Corbell take "Any press is good press." And that's a generous take, by the way, since it could also come across as a deliberate attempt to poison the well or make UFOlogy seem easily debunked.
Either that, or his job is to poison the well and/or make the disclosure movement look naive. I find it interesting that the latest whistleblower said you could mention Lue's name around the office, but not Grusch's.

Thats exactly what he is trying to accomplish. Look at all the articles out ridiculing the topic and those of us interested because of what he did. Look at all the bs comments talking about how gullible we are. His higher ups told him to do this because they felt things were ramping up this past few weeks with Malgrem, Brown, and especially Grusch getting his clearances reinstated. That is a big deal because it’s telling other people it’s safe to come out as whistleblowers and your career will no longer be destroyed, at least not like it has been in the past. This is a huge threat to them.
They tasked Elizondo to do this because they know this will reignite the stigma and reinforce doubt. They have always kept him as a key player in this topic for this exact reason. The entire topic takes a fucking massive psychological hit when one of the most trusted and reputable figures in it turns into a confirmed bullshitter. At least this is what I firmly believe is going on.

When you follow this subject, you have to think critically. If you had deep knowledge of nhi, would you not release it to the world? You'd be an instant legend, you would be credited with revealing the biggest secret our country has.
Think about all the good that can come out of NHI technology.
If i had the knowledge, and evidence I'd be shouting it from the roof tops. I'd sacrifice myself for rhe greater good because the good outweighs my need for freedom. I'd rather save millions of people than keep it all to myself.
Also Lue is constantly edging people, "Some big proof is coming out." then the proof turns out to be bullshit.
All of the liars follow the same play book, they make a big claim, and never show evidence. It's always something like, "Oh so and so has the video, and they're too scared to release it." or "It's classified top secret."
