Former X-files investigator Luis Elizondo, who led a US government probe into unidentified flying objects for seven years, is convinced that the United States is in possession of evidence to prove that the mystery crafts are not being piloted by humans.

Elizondo said: "It is my belief that the US is in possession of exotic material. Unfortunately, that's about all I can say at this time."

The former counterintelligence agent says there is no doubt about the existence of UFOs and suggests further video evidence will prove that he is telling the truth.

He said: "This is a fact. I can tell you there are a lot more videos that, in my opinion, are even more compelling.

"They have just not been released yet because they remain quite sensitive and are classified. It's videos, it's pictures, it's intelligence reporting."
