Person

Jason Colavito

Skeptical author and blogger; critic of the documentary narrated by Elizondo

2019– · Critics and skeptics · Critic

A skeptical author and blogger, he has written for years on UFO culture. In 2021 he described the media cycle of 2017–2021 as based on a narrow group of recurring sources; in 2025 he compared “The Age of Disclosure” to an episode of the series Ancient Aliens and in 2026 he judged the PURSUE files largely already known. He closely followed the Wall Street Journal investigation of “Yankee Blue” and the reactions of Elizondo and Coulthart.

Key claims
  • Argues that the UFO media cycle since 2017 recycles a narrow group of sources, perhaps not entirely intentionally.
  • Judged the 2026 PURSUE files to be largely material that was already public.
Today
Commented critically on the PURSUE files and on the dispute between Coulthart and Elizondo (June 2026).
