Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs
January 8, 2025
Luis “Lue” Elizondo is a former senior intelligence official and special agent who was recruited into strange and highly sensitive US government program to investigate UAP. To accomplish his mission, Elizondo had to rely on decades of experience gained working some of America’s most classified programs. Even then, he was not prepared for what he would learn, including the truth about the government’s long shadowy involvement in UAP investigations, and the lengths officials would take to keep it a secret.
For years, Elizondo and his colleagues found themselves on the front lines of what may be the greatest mystery and cover-up in history. Unidentified craft that seem to defy our knowledge of physics—within air, water, and space—have been operating with complete impunity since at least World War II. The military, the CIA, and even past presidents have known the truth that humanity is, in fact, not the only intelligent life in the universe. The nonhuman intelligence controlling these UAP are actively conducting surveillance on our most sensitive military installations, and have interfered with ongoing military and nuclear operations. US service members and intelligence officers who have encountered UAP have sustained serious medical injuries. And all of this is happening worldwide.
The stakes could not be higher. Imminent is a first-hand, revelatory account inside the Pentagon’s most closely guarded secret and a call to action to confront humanity’s greatest existential questions.
I chose to put this one down. Not because it is a bad book, but because I’m making the choice to keep my head in the sand. Sure, I enjoy the speculation of UFOs or UAPs. It’s fun to imagine. I even had an event in my youth where I saw a triangle light formation fly overhead while laying on a trampoline with several friends. I have watched and read numerous books and videos on the very subject. I don’t know what made this book different, but it hit home really close and has me wondering about our place in the universe and how I can possibly fit into all of it. It’s quite a bit to digest right now, so I’m going to skip over this one and perhaps return to it in some future date.
