A former Pentagon official who led a secret government program to combat UFO attacks says he believes aliens have visited Earth.
Luis Elizondo previously ran the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which leaked records show investigated reports of clashes with unidentified aircraft.
The former chief of the $22 million (£16.5 million) project says he thinks 'we may not be alone', based on numerous reports he read on encounters with the flying craft.
Many reportedly displayed out of this world capabilities in terms of both speed and manoeuvring.

News of the off-the-books Department of Defense (DoD) program emerged over the weekend.
It sought to identify what had been seen, either through tools or eyewitness reports, and then 'ascertain and determine if that information is a potential threat to national security.'
Mr Elizondo resigned from the DoD in October in protest over what he has termed excessive secrecy and internal opposition to the project, whose funding was cut in 2012.
He has now said there is evidence which leads him to believe alien aircraft have visited the planet.
Speaking to CNN, he said: 'My personal belief is that there is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone.
'These aircraft - we'll call them aircraft - are displaying characteristics that are not currently within the US inventory nor in any foreign inventory that we are aware of.
'Things that don't have any obvious flight services, any obvious forms of propulsion, and maneuvering in ways that include extreme maneuverability beyond, I would submit, the healthy G-forces of a human or anything biological.'
Among the sightings were reports from pilots of two U.S. Navy Super Hornet fighters who spotted a UFO on a training mission.

They were 100 miles from San Diego in the Pacific when a call on their radios asked if they were carrying weapons.
The unusual request, that day in 2004, came from a naval cruiser, the Princeton, that had spent two weeks tracking unidentified aircraft.
Commanders David Fravor and Jim Slaight had only dummy missiles, but were directed to investigate objects that appeared suddenly at an altitude of 80,000ft, then plunged towards the sea.
At 20,000ft, they stopped and hovered before disappearing out of radar range or shooting up again.
