Lue Elizondo reveals orbs flying in his home

Former counter-intelligence officer, and UFO disclosure advocate, Lue Elizondo is on the interview circuit again – this time telling of his and his family’s own paranormal experiences.

Touting a new book, Elizondo spoke at length with NewNation’s Ross Coulthart about a number of topics, including the U.S. government’s decades-long UFO/UAP cover-up.

“We are not alone in this universe, and it’s a simple fact,” Elizondo told Courthart in an interview that aired August 24th, “and the U.S. government has been aware of this fact now for decades.”

“If the American public knew just how deep this lie went, then we would have a very significant Constitutional crisis on our hands,” Elizondo asserts.

But what was new in this interview was when Elizondo revealed that he and his family have been experiencing ‘glowing balls of light’ floating around in his home.



His wife went on camera to describe the ‘orbs’ as “small, little spherical green, whitish green type of color” that would go through walls. Elizondo added that the orbs have caused ‘significant disruption’ in his home.

The experiences Elizondo and his wife have described fit within the criteria of ‘The Hitchiker Effect’ a term used in UFO circles for decades to describe people who experience paranormal activities away from their study site.

The ‘Hitchhiker Effect’ in ufology refers to a phenomenon where individuals who encounter UFOs or paranormal events experience subsequent unexplained activity that “follows” them home.

The term was coined by Dr. Colm Kelleher and journalist George Knapp while investigating paranormal activities at the infamous Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. Both had paranormal activities occur after visiting Skinwalker Ranch, as did a number of others who spent time there.

This effect suggests that phenomenon experienced in one location either attach to investigators or follow them home, leading to a regular series of strange experiences in their personal lives, including orbs in their homes, unexplained sounds, poltergist-related occurences and other examples of high strangeness.

That said, Elizondo has faced criticism from other UFO investigators and disclosure advocates for what they call advancing the ‘threat narrative’ around UFOs/UAPs with no concrete evidence in 80 years that they have ever been a national security or aviation threat.
