New Photo Allegedly Shows 1,000-Foot UFO Over Four Corners, Sparks Debate

Luis Elizondo presented a photo of a large silver disc-shaped object, allegedly 600-1,000 feet wide, near Four Corners at 21,000 feet, during a May 1 panel in Washington, D.C.
Elizondo, a former Pentagon counterintelligence officer who resigned in 2017 citing bureaucratic issues, supports UFO transparency but acknowledged the photo was unvetted and provided hours before the panel.
Reddit users and experts quickly questioned the photo's authenticity, highlighting inconsistent shadows and suggesting the image likely shows crop circles, which sparked debate over its validity.
Elizondo emphasized the photo was 'taken by a civilian pilot' and called for 'full declassification and open scientific analysis' amid ongoing government interest in UAPs and thousands of classified encounters.
The incident intensified controversy about UAP evidence, with skepticism from critics and doubts about Elizondo's contributions, illustrating continuing challenges in reducing stigma and confirming extraterrestrial involvement.
