Former U.S. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada believes that U.S. defense contractor Lockheed Martin (Loma) may once have had the remains of a crashed unidentified flying object (UFO).
Reid, 81, told The New Yorker magazine that he has not in fact seen evidence of UFO remnants, but has tried and failed to get permission from the Pentagon to view them.
The Democrat told The New Yorker, “I’ve been told for decades that Lockheed has something found (referring to UFO debris).”
Reid continued, “I remember trying to get classified approval from the Pentagon to allow me to work on these things. They (the Pentagon) didn’t agree.”
He said he did not know the amount of UFO debris (Lockheed Martin) had and what kind of classified level it was, and they didn’t show it to me.

Lockheed Martin is the world’s largest defense industry contractor in terms of total revenue, with more than 70 percent of the company’s revenue coming from the U.S. Department of Defense, as well as other U.S. federal agencies and foreign militaries. The company’s core businesses are aerospace, electronics, information technology, space systems and missiles, with major products including all U.S. Navy submarine-launched ballistic missiles, theater high-altitude area defense systems, communications satellite systems, and fighter jets such as the F-16, F-22 and F-35.
Reid’s comments are part of an in-depth New Yorker report on the U.S. government’s investigation into the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP).
More than a decade ago, when Reid was the Democratic Senate majority leader, he pushed the Pentagon to develop a secret program to investigate unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in secret. The program, known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), was terminated in 2012.
The New York Post reported on April 30 that Luis “Louie” Elizondo joined the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program in 2008 and joined the program in 2010. Luis “Louie” Elizondo joined the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program in 2008 and served as the program’s director from 2010 to 2017.
UFO incidents have long been reported from time to time around the world. According to publicly available information from the Pentagon, U.S. Navy pilots encountered a “tic-tac-toe” UFO in 2004; a “cube in a ball” UFO in 2014; and others have seen mysterious black triangular-shaped flying saucers, to name a few. Others have seen mysterious black triangular-shaped flying saucers, and the list goes on.
Elizondo said there is enough evidence to convince him that UFOs are real.
Reid has consistently defended Elizondo, saying in a recent statement, “Mr. Elizondo’s career has been one of tireless work in the shadow of sensitive national security matters, including the investigation of UAP as head of AATIP.” “He has performed these duties with distinction.”
By June 25, 2021, U.S. intelligence agencies are required by Congress to issue a report on “unidentified aerial phenomena.
Reid’s interest in UFOs stems from his friend and donor Bob Bigelow, owner of Bigelow Aerospace, who once said he was “absolutely convinced” that aliens existed and that UFOs had visited Earth.
Reid told the New York Times, “I’m not embarrassed, ashamed or sorry.” “I think it’s one of the good things I’ve done in my congressional service. I’ve done things that no one has done before.”
