About this audiobook
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.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
Editor's Note
Something out there…
A former Pentagon official blows the lid off of the enigmatic world of UFOs, or rather, UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena), as they’re now known. Elizondo played a prominent role in the government’s highly classified UAP program and provides a firsthand account of the evidence and experiences needed to affirmatively answer the question, “Is there anyone else out there?” This thrilling and thought-provoking read will surely add fuel to the fire of the ongoing debate about UAPs and the possible ramifications they pose for national security.

So, for over 100 years that we know of the existence of UFO's you want us to believe they couldn't be dangerous beings. I thought he was the real deal. What a disappointment. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

It's true they are here we are not alone. The author is a true patriot who at times even had to work with the forces of darkness to force the truth out of our over-reaching suthoritarian government.1 person found this helpful

It comes off as a mix of biography and bad (poorly written, not believable) sci fi. The author tries to pass off pseudoscience as legitimate (remote viewing). All the interactions with scientists aren’t believable. It’s what fiction writers with no science background think science is like. Also, a few of the scientists mentioned are easily verified as being old crackpots.
