The account
AATIP is often used as the name for the whole Reid-sponsored programme that began as AAWSAP. Luis Elizondo says he ran it at the Pentagon until he resigned in 2017. The Navy videos he helped release made it famous.
The sceptical view
The Defense Department has disputed parts of Elizondo's account of his role, and AARO's 2024 history said AATIP was a label in use rather than a separate programme. Funding officially ended in 2012.
