Pentagon: Elizondo Submits Three UAP Videos for Declassification
In 2017, Luis Elizondo submitted the FLIR/Tic Tac, GoFast, and GIMBAL UAP videos on a DoD Form 1910 for declassification, receiving unlimited distribution approval from DoDOPSR.
Background
In 2017, Luis Elizondo selected three unclassified UAP videos for potential public release: the FLIR video (Tic Tac from the 2004 Nimitz encounter), and the GoFast and GIMBAL videos from the 2015 USS Roosevelt encounters. He described all three on a single DoD Form 1910 requesting declassification.
The DoDOPSR (Department of Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review) reviewed the request and approved unrestricted public release, stamping the form "UNLIMITED DISTRIBUTION". Elizondo deliberately chose low-resolution videos to expedite the approval process, and avoided the Aguadilla DHS video due to its sensitivity.
These three videos would become the most widely viewed UAP evidence in history when published alongside the December 2017 New York Times article.
Significance
The formal declassification of these three videos made possible the most impactful UAP disclosure in modern history.
