Quote History Quoted:
Maybe so. If so, would he be walking a tight line by being so involved?

It's hard to say what, specifically, Mellon knows. He certainly knows a LOT of military and defense secrets but I don't know how involved he was in the UFO topic. He is clearly on record suspecting UFO's are extraterrestrial. He was also responsible for the creation of SOCOM, which I didn't know.
Elizondo, on the other hand, was the director of the UFO program and he states repeatedly that he will never violate his NDA's, but he will walk right to the line, to advance the disclosure process. He admitted in an interview in the past few days that he sometimes engages in the "no" means "no" and "that's classified" or some other evasion means "yes" bit. In an earlier interview, he evaded a direct question on whether he's seen a "gray" and when the interviewer said he would take that as a "yes" and then asked Elizondo if it scared him, Elizondo tried to evade for a bit and then said "yeah, I've seen a lot of things that scared me". He did not say "no" to either question.
