Elizondo Tells Glenn Beck: Pentagon Officials Called UAPs “Demonic,” Names 2027 as Rumored Timeline

In a wide-ranging interview on the Glenn Beck Program, former Pentagon UAP official Lue Elizondo said he heard the years 2027 and 2036 referenced as significant timeline markers while working with the U.S. Space Force – though he characterized both as anecdotal. He also revealed that senior intelligence officials told him directly that UAPs were “demons” and that investigating them should stop. Elizondo recounted a visit to the Vatican where academics showed him an ancient Latin parchment describing “flaming shields” in the sky that followed Roman soldiers from battlefield to battlefield. Separately, Elizondo said Laura Trump has indicated a presidential speech on UAPs is prepared, and he believes it was written specifically for this moment. Full article

“What was told to me point blank was, ‘Lou, have you read your Bible lately?’ And I said, ‘Well, I thought I was pretty familiar with it. Why?’ And he said, ‘Well, then you would know because what we’re dealing with are demons and we shouldn’t be looking into them.’” – Luis Elizondo
