“Better come clean,” warns Luis Elizondo as Trump orders Pentagon to release UFO files

UFO whistleblower Luis Elizondo has warned that government agencies face scrutiny as President Donald Trump orders the Pentagon to release classified UFO files.

At the end of last week, President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that he is to begin “the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life.

The UFO community reacted with excitement, in what was an eventful week for the disclosure process. However, bigwig disclosure activist Luis Elizondo did not respond to the announcement with celebration, but rather with a warning.

“Better come clean,” he said, addressing officials and contractors who may be holding classified UAP material, adding, “If I were you, you're having a bullseye painted right on you right now.”

Strong words from Elizondo, who spoke to Matt Ford on The Good Trouble Show.

The message was personal, direct, and aimed at government officials, military personnel, and private contractors, or whoever else is perceived as withholding classified UFO/UAP information.

“Not real until it's in writing”

One wonders what exactly is in those folders. And if Trump duly obliges for the release of this information to the public, then the Pentagon would see its “tucked away” approach essentially turned on its head.

Elizondo’s warning signals that the era of selective access may end.

“There are a lot of gatekeepers that have been jealously guarding this information,” he noted.

“Now, it’s going to be a lot more difficult for people to say that they don’t know something.”

President Obama said “aliens are real” on The Brian Tyler Cohen Show last week, but then walked it back, posting on social media, “I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!”

In contrast, Trump’s public directive is to identify and release whatever dossiers are lurking inside the Pentagon's secret UFO monitoring program.

Coming directly from a sitting president, the order might bring Congress’s entanglement with UAP legislation to an end. Elizondo now argues the burden of action rests squarely on federal agencies.

“The question is, will people listen? Will people do what he’s asked to do?” he asked.

Also, Trump’s statement may have sounded promising aboard Air Force One, but “technically, it’s not real until it’s in writing,” Elizondo noted, hinting that a formal executive order would be the next credible step.

Why has it been withheld so long?

As more UFO whistleblowers speak out, albeit tentatively, such as the case with Congressman Eric Burlison recently, it's almost as if Cold War sentiment has compounded itself throughout the decades in a sense of keeping your cards close to your chest.

“There is technology and information… we don’t want to reveal to a foreign adversary,” Elizondo cautioned. However, he also said: “What we can’t do and should not do is keep things classified simply because they’re embarrassing.”

But as Trump's order looks set to take effect, Elizondo warned that entrenched bureaucratic resistance could slow the process.

“The real test is not whether a directive is issued – but whether agencies execute it,” he said.

And the fact is that the agencies have to feel the heat on them in order to oblige, and Elizondo has strong feelings on this: “Either comply with the president or don’t – and if not, face the consequences.”

Despite bureaucratic concerns, there seems to be grounds for optimism, but Elizondo predicts it might take a convergence of factors for the UAP question to go beyond a glimmer.

“We only have one chance to do it right, and we’ve got pretty much every chance to do it wrong,” he warned.
