Publisher's Summary

*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

A must read for anyone interested in UFOs.

Well, well, well, what can I say... I guess we now know that The X-Files was a documentary!

Deeply interesting and thought provoking. Loved listening to Luis narrate himself.

Ground breaking testimony from an insider who has access to classified information. Could listen to 10 more of these books. Luis Elizondo is a hero for all human knowledge.

Factual Statements

What once took months of piecing together documents, interviews, articles, laws, leaks and videos has been summarised neatly into Elizondo’s memoir.

riveting

Luis manages to be a very engaging narrator, a good insight of the way compartmented government programs function (or fail to function) current running theories on the phenomenon and the state of the disclosure movement, a very good listen.

An Absolute Must For Any Person Seeking The Truth

What Lue has shown is that there is a secrecy that is being withheld from the population and that all measures to conceal are being done.

THE TRUTH IS...HERE! And we are NOT alone.

I just finished listening to Elizondo narate his incredible career in the audiobook of 'Imminent'. After years spent investigating aerial and submersible UAPs, whilst working at the Pentagon, Lou's lived experience shines through.

Despite Lou only sharing unclassified data, he still found ways and means to disclose or confirm historic and recent UAP and alien encounters, witnessed by both civilians and military personnel, from around the world.

I have been fascinated by this topic since I was a kid, and closely follow the work of reporters such as Ross Coulthart and George Knapp. Despite my relatively indepth knowledge, I still learned new fascinating information from this book. I also felt a sense of 'closure'. Thanks to Lou's tireless efforts and great personal sacrifice, full military and government disclosure of UAPs in our airspace and oceans, may be imminent.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this goes down as one of the most important books in history

A must listen for anyone interested in this topic, and more importantly, those who know nothing about it. Luis brings such credibility and level-headedness to a historically taboo topic. His openness to sharing both his professional and personal experience is to be absolutely commended, especially given the sacrifices he has made and the suffering he and his family have endured to do so.

Thank you so much Luis for sharing the truth with the world. I hope your hard work and sacrifices will be rewarded with disclosure and some answers to the biggest questions of who we are and where we fit in the universe.
