It’s been a big week for UFO advocate Lue Elizondo. Earlier today, Elizondo announced a new nationwide tour this spring in which he will sell tickets for audiences to watch him have conversations with ufology-themed guests that he will then repackage for podcasts, which will presumably also carry advertising while serving to promote his next book, due out later this year. The bizarrely named Persona Non Grata tour—from a man who is literally welcomed into Congress and the biggest media in the world, like 60 Minutes and the New York Times—will include twenty cities across the United States with guests to be announced later. Yesterday, with a particularly Trumpian flourish, Elizondo also became the recipient of the inaugural Hollywood Disclosure Alliance award for Excellence in the Advancement of Disclosure. The alliance, which was founded in 2023 and became a nonprofit in 2024, brings together 250 members, drawn from Hollywood UFO believers and the stars of ufology, to create UFO-themed media content. Members include Dave Foley, Shirley MacLaine, Whitley Strieber, and Linda Moulton Howe.
The Hollywood Disclosure Alliance’s inaugural awards were a bizarre grab-bag of honors for all the usual suspects, giving accolades to current practitioners of ufology, including The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (for television), The Age of Disclosure (for documentaries), Avi Loeb (for science), and Ross Coulthart’s YouTube show (for “journalism” [!]), while also honoring the 2016 movie Arrival for achievement in cinema and the 2019 Lue Elizondo series Unidentified for achievement in docuseries. Way to keep it current!

So many cliches, so little space. The black dress, the seriously overly constipated look, misattribution causation, ad nauseum bullshite.

Congratulations to the winners! Yes, the tour is bizarrely named. Does Lue Elizondo actually speak Latin? Does anybody really?

Just noticed thanks to this picture but now I can't un-see it. Lue Elizondo looks like a man who teaches strip mall karate. He looks like the Asylum's version of John Kreese from Karate Kid. He looks like a man who uses "operator" like he was in Delta Force, but leaves off the word "forklift." He looks like the least trustworthy bench member of an SEC football team who opened a loan office.
