From Wikipedia: “In the 2021 New Yorker article, reporter Gideon Lewis-Kraus writes that after talking with Elizondo, it was difficult to tell what AATIP had accomplished, and when pressed, Elizondo "invokes his security oath like a catchphrase". When in 2019 Elizondo was interviewed by Tucker Carlson, Elizondo stated that the government had fragments of a UFO, "then quickly invoked his security oath".[4] Colavito writes that Elizondo "still speaks of demon cabals, otherworldly beings, and UFOs operating beyond human perception — just not on 60 Minutes", and characterizes Elizondo's claims as "bad science and dangerous as government policy, the kind of magical thinking that leads to lunacy and disaster".[30]”

it's kind of dodgy if you can point to one flawed human and say, "see i found some dirt" and use that to convince yourself that everything you can somehow tenuously connect to that human must be false. radical simplification of reality. i understand the motivation, but i don't think it pass muster. "breathe a sigh of relief, people, the US government today, can announce, that after decades of so-called unexplained sightings, radar data, navy witnesses, civilian encounters worldwide numbering in the millions, we have finally been able to come to a conclusive and final answer that will explain once and for all the previously mysterious phenomena known as UFOs. Here it is, folks: Luis Elizondo has been proven to be a crank. Now all of us can rest in the surety that UFOs must therefore be false, and no further study needs to be done about any of it. Thank you." it's like a "omg i can't take this truth" fantasy to think this kind of stuff. Just be a little bit open, if it scares you, just ignore it...but pretending it's not real....closes yourself off to reality.
