Tuesday 3rd, May 2022
A senior national correspondent for Politico, Bryan Bender who covers defense was one of the reporters credited with breaking the AATIP story in December 2017.
Since the release in 2017, Bryan Bender has stated on twitter that he was 'purposely misled' about the AATIP project and what the AATIP project was and wasn't.
"For one I feel like I was misled early on on what AATIP really was and wasn't. By numerous knowledgeable sources. Purposely misled".
Bender went further on twitter in stating, "And Elizondo hasn't told tall tales? No one is clean in this and been fully transparent or truthful. No one".
The series of tweets from Bender went on to state that, "because they were afraid it would be perceived as an utter waste of taxpayer money", the AATIP story was buried.
Bender also mentioned Robert Bigelow's connection to the late senator Harry Reid, adding, "It was a porl project to investigate voodoo that morphed into UFOs".
"Without the Nimitz case and the video they would have had little but ghost stories and campfire ghouls to show for it".
In the past though Bender has usually defended how he vetted AATIP information and vouched for figures like Luis Elizondo.
Robert Sheaffer observed when he documented how an Italian case of a known hoax UFO report was presented as a legitimate case by Elizondo and others.
Sheaffer went on to write, "They make statements and gaffes that betray complete ignorance of what has occurred before them in UFOlogy", followed by, "yet they bluff their way to convincing gullible reporters for major news organizations to take what they say very seriously".
Another journalist, Steven Greenstreet replied to Bender on twitter that he was also misled, "I definitely put too much faith in some of the main 'knowledgeable' sources".
