Speaking in 2017, Luis said: "Something unexplained is always assumed to be a potential threat until we are certain it isn’t. On the bright side, I believe we are closer than ever before in our understanding of how it operates.
"I am accustomed to being involved in close-hold, nuanced programs involving national security. This includes being a counterintelligence special agent, a case officer, and intelligence practitioner.

Luis worked with the Department of Defence for almost a decade and said during that time he saw evidence that proved the existence of UFOs.
He added: "I learned that the phenomena is indeed real."
Luis said that he left the military and was working with the To The Stars Academy and that said he planned to release photo evidence he had seen.
He continued: "We are also planning to provide never before released footage from real US Government systems...not blurry, amateur photos, but real data and real videos.
"We are inviting our Government colleagues and friends in Defense to participate regularly with their own findings."
