Elizondo shares perspectives and personal observations in a way he has not yet done with anyone else. He gets candid and personal, sharing a side of himself I suspect he has kept closely guarded for years.
At the beginning of our interview, Elizondo tells me without prompting that there's no going back from the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) disclosure process, which appears to have accelerated under the Trump administration.
It's a process which he arguably kick-started in public.He adds:
"I knew that there would come a point where there's no going back. Make no mistake about it. I realize I started this conversation for better or for worse. I started this train rolling down the tracks and the responsibility to see this through is on my shoulders."
I have known Lue Elizondo for close to five years. We first met on a bitterly cold day at Soho Farmhouse, tucked away in England's Cotswolds. He was there with Dan Farah, director of The Age of Disclosure, as they prepared for a GQ Heroes event.
As he was when I first met him, Elizondo is still enthusiastic, energetic and relentlessly positive. Part of that intensity, he tells me, comes from the way he sees the world.
For some time, I have known
Elizondo has been keeping something private. Something not related to UAP disclosure, but something nonetheless that may ultimately influence his ability to see this through.Elizondo is on the autistic spectrum. When I ask whether I can share his condition for this piece, he immediately says yes.
