I don't know the origin, but to me it's a close cousin of "Emperor's New Clothes" territory ~ it describes an abundantly obvious fact that the room is declining to acknowledge. And def. singular elephant!
Reminds me of the string of school jokes about elephants, such as:
Q: How d'ya know there's an elephant in the fridge?
A Footprints in the butter!
