About this listen

The former head of the Pentagon program responsible for the investigation of UFOsnow 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.

Editorial Review

Are aliens real?
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

Thank you Lue and cohort!

This was a well written and thought provoking journey. it highlights the history that lead up to the 2017 New York Times piece, and what happened next, that paved the way for disclosure. I reccomend that everyone read this book. we need to get across the finish line and have official confirmation of the NHI presence. we need the truth of reality and history known to the masses. Lue has done a fantastic job getting us this far, with his team, but we still have a ways to go. To all those involved in the legacy programs, the time is now to develop the masses and come clean on our place in the universe. This can, should, and will be done while keeping the dangerous technology classified. Keeping the masses in the dark is a greater threat to our security than telling the truth. I is time to think about that, think about your legacy, and to get on the right side of history. I would like to see immunity offered to all participants in legacy efforts. let's make forward progress and have no witch hunts. thanks again Lue! Much respect and Love brother.

Exceeded my high expectations

This dude is a trusted source in the ufo/uap community and has been someone I have always admired. His reasonable and thoughtful information on the topic is something I have always truly appreciated in a sea of what can often feel like a miasma of fantasy, speculation and un-vetted data. I have anticipated this book since I knew he was writing it and it didn’t disappoint at all. There was new info and lots of context for old info we already knew. I especially liked how he discussed some of the theories that the greatest minds in the field have brainstormed and tested about what could be going on and how we need to be prepared no matter what. Loved this book. As good as I’d hoped and better

Eyes wide open now

It just opened my eyes to everything going on with the uap topic. Luis Elizondo has made it clear we are not alone and the government should tell us the truth.

A Unique Insight & Angle

This book takes a unique vantage point into the history and reality surrounding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP)—or, what most of us call UFOs. Unlike many of the other books available Luis Elizando is an insider within the Pentagon. He’s not relating a lot of detail and the various incidents, nor is he overly concerned with convincing you of their existence. True to form, he’s an intelligence officer who is laying out the story from his perspective.

I was impressed with the detail—detail of his story. The specifics he strings together in order to demonstrate the proper governmental (specifically Department of Defense) approach to unexplained aircraft, incidents, watercraft and other phenomena. His aim is bent towards strategic needs and concerned, but is not pedantic. He lays out facts, much as you would expect a military agent to do.

I would highly recommend listening to this audiobook. He has a unique story to tell; a story that needs to be understood. He reads his own book which allows for the listener to get an even closer insight into the story as he does a laudable job with his cadence and inflection.

Fascinating!

Lue’s background gives this book credibility. Can’t wait for the next chapter of worldwide disclosure.

I do not read or listen to books and I’ve not been able to stop listening to this (and ordered a physical copy)

Super interesting topic. Great author and performance! I literally cannot stop listening! This is a must get.
