A former US Army counterintelligence specialist, the ex-Pentagon official has been vocal in his criticism of the government's handling of the subject and maintains that a cover-up remains ongoing.

His own claims haven't been without their own share of controversy, however.

Most recently, Elizondo gave a talk at a private event in Philadelphia where he revealed to the audience a photograph of an alleged 'mothership' photographed in the clouds above Romania.

At a glance, the image seemed quite impressive and when footage of the event leaked online, it quickly generated considerable debate and intrigue on social media.

Could this image be genuine evidence of extraterrestrial visitors ?

Actually, no, as it turns out.After the image had emerged, veteran government transparency advocate John Greenewald Jr of The Black Vault fame ran a reverse image search on Google to look for its original source.

What he discovered was that the 'mothership' was in fact little more than a chandelier reflecting off the inside of a window.

So why was it being presented as a classified government photo of a UFO ?

Within a couple of days, Elizondo himself had commented on the blunder by blaming it on "a friend in government" who had given him the photograph a couple of years earlier.

Whatever the case may be, it certainly hasn't done his own reputation any favors.

With low contrast conditions between the darker clouds outside, and the hair reflecting from the inside, it blends nicely, partially obscuring the light fixture and creating a halo effect. Voila. A "UFO" 👇 pic.twitter.com/YNzK2ypmlZ
