Regarding Luis Elizondo and AATIP: While in OUSD(1), Luis Elizondo did not have any assigned responsibilities for MTIP. The Defense Intelligence Agency ran AATIP.

The purpose of AATIP was to investigate foreign advanced aerospace weapons system applications with future technology projections over the next 40 years, and to create a center of expertise on advanced aerospace technologies. The goal was to help understand the threat posed by unconventional or leap ahead aerospace vehicles/technologies that could have national security implicationsfor the United States. The AAWSAP contract goal was to study 12 technical areas: lift, propulsion, control, armament, signatures reduction, materials, configuration, power generation, temporal translation, human effects, human interface, and technology integration.
