Injuries following reported UFO sightings

The former director of a Pentagon unit that studied UFOs
(https://fxn.ws/3xjOkiS) called the Advanced Aerospace
Threat Identification Program said that recently declassified
reports showing a connection between sightings and burns,
paralysis and brain damage is likely the result of contact
with "advanced technology."
"I think it's fair to say at this point … [that] this is probably
not some sort of adversarial technology we're dealing with,"
Luis "Lue" Elizondo said Wednesday on "Tucker Carlson
Tonight."
Elizondo likened the biological damage apparently connected
to UFO encounters to getting too close to the engine of an
airplane.
"If I'm in the cockpit or … in the aircraft, there's no real threat.
But if I stand behind the engine when the engine is firing up,
chances are I'm going to get burned, I'm going to lose my hearing.
There are medical consequences," he said.
"The question is, is it deliberate? Is it a product of the technology
or is it a product of something else? And we think right now and
again, let me just preface preliminarily speaking, it's probably
just a consequence of the advanced technology."
Elizondo cautioned that the UFO sightings listed in the reports
were not just "grandma saw some lights in the backyard."
"These are military eyewitnesses, in some cases, their fighter pilots
or their security personnel that have come up close and personal
with a … UFO," he told host Tucker Carlson. 
"This isn't pseudoscience," he said. "I was part of the program.
I ran the program for a better part of eight years on this topic, it
is absolutely real."
The former director said that it is because of "pressure" from
Congress and the media that the reports were declassified.
"Finally, our government is beginning to become more transparent
about this topic and tell the truth about this topic … I wasn't at
liberty to have [this] conversation [years ago]."
