About this listen

*THE INSTANT #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*

*THE BOOK EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT*

'I can say without fear of contradiction that Lue has played a central and indispensable role in forever changing the way humanity views the issue of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP)'
Chris Mellon, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Former Minority Staff Director of the Senate Intelligence Committee
______________________________


The former head of the Pentagon program responsible for the investigation of UFOs - now known as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) - reveals long-hidden truths with profound implications for not only national security but our understanding of the universe.

Luis 'Lue' Elizondo is a former senior intelligence official and special agent who was recruited into a strange and highly sensitive US Government program to investigate UAP incursions into sensitive military installations and air space. To accomplish his mission, Elizondo had to rely on decades of experience gained working some of America's most sensitive and classified programs. Even then, he was not prepared for what he would learn, and the truth about the government's long shadowy involvement in UAP investigations, and the lengths officials would take to keep them a secret.

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.

Editorial Review

Are aliens real?
I’m I’m what you might call alien agnostic. I’ve never worn a tinfoil hat. I’ve never watched The X Files. But I am a Jodie Foster fan, and as her character in Contact argues, the sheer vastness of the universe makes it a reasonable bet that there are other life-forms out there. But I never put much thought into it beyond that. Then, in 2017, The New York Times dropped its bombshell report that there was a secret Pentagon program investigating UFOs, and that US Navy pilots had witnessed flying objects that seemed to have inexplicable technological capabilities. The Pentagon has been tamping down the story ever since, saying there’s no evidence of “off-world technology.” But then again, the Pentagon isn’t known for being super forthright. All of this is to say, I am highly anticipating the release of Imminent, the ominously titled book from Luis Elizondo, a whistleblower and former director of the Pentagon program charged with investigating UFOs, now called “unidentified anomalous phenomenon.” So, hold on to your tinfoil hats, this listen may have a few bombshells of its own.— Phoebe N., Audible Editor

Luis Elizondo gives the account of his time at AATIP and the subsequent efforts in the US Congress for disclosure. A very interesting factual account and I could not put the book down.

Fascinating look at the USA's UAP Disclosure effort

best audiobook I've ever listened too. We all want the truth!! Hopefully the UK can follow and start some Parliament talks here. From any one who's ever seen anything we all know the truth.

This book was absolutely amazing. I learnt an incredible amount and whereas I had thought I already knew a peice of information, this book actually added a lot of detail. This is the only book of its kind, that I have actually finished! I would highly recommend this book!

Unbelievable! I learnt so much.

I sincerely recommend this audio/book for an insight into the efforts behind the scenes of disclosure of UAP. The voice and endeavours of the writer comes across as honest and full of honour and earnestness. I’ve listened and watched some of his related stages in TV, documentaries, interviews and online and have no doubt his accounts are true. I am grateful for his courage, not only on a battlefield, but even more difficult courage to tackle the Red Tape of the USA, putting himself and his family at risks he could easily have avoided.

Be careful what you discover because it will change you.

Anyone who has been following the field of UFO's, now renamed to UAP, will likely have heard of the author, Luis Elizondo. There have been many books written by scholarly researchers into this highly controversial field but few written by those who were inside the government/military and working as part of a secret department studying and cataloguing this phenomenon. Thus, this book is written from the perspective of an insider to the research behind closed doors that the public were unaware of until just a few years ago.

So, is all this real? Did Roswel actually happen, or was it all a myth? Do we have crashed alien craft and even bodies? According to Luis Elizondo, yes! I recall him describing being pulled into a SCIF (Government terminology for a highly secure facility where classified information is discussed) to be told by a top government scientist that Roswell did happen, we do have alien craft and have biological specimens. Elizondo's reaction to this revelation was, as you might expect for someone who shared the opinions on UFO's and alien life that most of the public hold, was one of stunned shock. What makes this account even more weighty is that everything in this book has been approved for release. In some cases, the names of individuals have been redacted by the government censors, but this only makes Luis Elizondo's account more compelling, even shocking. In essence, the U.S government/military is, by proxy, admitting that the UFO's and aliens are real. Let that sink in for a moment.

Consider that prior to 2017, such disclosures from a former member of the U.S military would've been tantamount to treason or simply blocked or denied. Elizondo forced the hand of the U.S government when he walked out of his well-pain Pentagon job in order to push for disclosure. Had he not done that, risking everything, there'd be no New York Times article back in 2017 that begun the road to disclosure.

There was so much more Elizondo couldn't say due to his security oaths etc, but what we do get is a glimpse into the long-held secret and how it was so critical to gather more data on the unknown craft regularly buzzing U.S military vessels, he had put together a plan to lure these mysterious visitors to a huge naval operation where the U.S navy would employ multiple sensors to record and analyse the physics-defying craft.

Anyway, I won't reveal more of some of the incredible things disclosed in this book. Suffice it to say, it will shock those who have a passing interest in the field. It even did the same for me, and I've studied this for thirty years.

This book isn't just for the UFO buffs out there, it's for anyone who wants to know what is going on, and get it direct from someone who formerly worked at the Pentagon.

An excellent listen detailing the events that led to the start of soft UAP disclosure. The first four chapters set the scene and provide good background information about the author. The remaining 21 chapters detail the struggle for transparency in a secret world dogged by over-classification and bureaucracy. A superb listen!

The biggest story is human history is playing out before us and Lue has been instrumental in the process. A deeply personal and inspiring book by a great American Hero. This book shows that we must all keep pushing forward to reveal the truth, the future of our species may depend on it.
