In “Imminent,” Luis Elizondo, former Director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), provides a concise yet impactful account of the recent government UFO investigation. The book spans from Elizondo’s initial involvement with the UFO program to the present day, offering a remarkable and candid perspective from an idealistic American warrior that will undoubtedly challenge your worldview.
As a seasoned UAP enthusiast, I was already familiar with much of the book’s content, yet still found myself learning new details. For newcomers to this topic, I recommend further reading (see below) to grasp the significance of this subject matter.
Making the Sausage
The events of 2017 and 2018, including The New York Times’ groundbreaking UAP articles, Elizondo’s public resignation from the DoD, and his subsequent involvement with To the Stars Academy, forever altered the landscape of Ufology. Witnessing these events unfold through Elizondo’s eyes is both fascinating and illuminating. We experience his internal conflict as he decides to leave a cherished role, and gain insights into the strategies leading to the release of the Gimbal, Tic Tac, and Go Fast videos. This is truly history in the making.
Surprises
Elizondo drops several bombshells throughout the book, raising questions I’m surprised haven’t been further explored by the media. One example is the alleged non-human device inserted into an unwilling individual, assessed as a technical device of unknown origin and function. What happened to this device? Has it been studied? Are there similar cases? The implications are staggering.
Additionally, Elizondo’s possession of alleged material shed from a UFO, containing engineered isotopes humans cannot manufacture, begs further investigation. Who or what created it? Where is it now?
The book also delves into the biological effects experienced by some individuals encountering these exotic objects, possibly due to high-frequency electromagnetic emissions. These cases warrant further study beyond the work of Dr. Gary Nolan.
One of the book’s most intriguing discussions revolves around Dr. Hal Puthoff’s hypothesis of a single exotic technology explaining all observed UAP phenomena. This technology, capable of warping local spacetime, could account for UFOs’ ability to traverse various mediums without friction or sonic booms, withstand extreme G-forces, achieve incredible speeds, and even potentially break the light speed barrier. This aligns with Bob Lazar’s earlier testimony about a UFO reverse engineering program. Furthermore, spacetime warping could explain visual anomalies associated with UFOs, as well as electromagnetic emissions and time distortions experienced by observers and abductees.
Another bombshell is the assertion that Lockheed Martin possesses retrieved UFO crash material and is involved in reverse engineering efforts. Elizondo even names his source and implicates other corporations in this clandestine project. Are we on the verge of shattering our cosmic origin stories?
What’s Missing?
While “Imminent” offers a wealth of information, certain aspects remain unexplored. Notably absent are accounts of communication attempts with these non-human intelligences. Have we tried radio, visual, or even telepathic contact?
Elizondo also avoids specific mentions of the various ET entities that may be present, and doesn’t delve into prevailing theories about their origins or agendas.
Cast of Characters
The book features familiar figures in the pro-disclosure faction, including Chris Mellon, Jay Stratton, and others. While their contributions are valuable, it’s important to expand this circle to enhance the narrative’s credibility.
I appreciate Elizondo naming insiders opposed to disclosure, shedding light on the gatekeepers hindering progress. Public pressure on these individuals may prove crucial in uncovering more of the truth.
Weak Speculations
Elizondo’s speculation about UFOs using Earth’s water as fuel seems unlikely. Water is abundant throughout the cosmos, and utilizing deuterium or hydrogen as a power source wouldn’t generate the immense energy required for spacetime warping. A more exotic power source is likely at play.
Hammers and Nails
As a warrior and patriot, Elizondo’s perspective understandably centers around national security and upholding secrets. However, it’s crucial to consider voices beyond the military-industrial complex. What about humanity’s place in the wider universe? What future do we aspire to, and how might interaction with superior intelligence facilitate that? These conversations are sorely missing from “Imminent.”
Forecasting Impact
I believe “Imminent” will have a lasting impact on the disclosure effort. Congressional hearings, additional whistleblowers, and increased media attention seem inevitable. Once hard physical evidence of non-human intelligence becomes undeniable, I anticipate a global shift in perspective.
Overall, “Imminent” is a must-read for anyone interested in the UAP phenomenon. While not without its limitations, Elizondo’s firsthand account offers valuable insights and raises crucial questions that demand further exploration.
