For the past several years a man named Luis “Lue” Elizondo has been making claims about UFOs and aliens that should have many Americans concerned.
The reason why people should be paying more attention to him is because, for 10 years, he was the director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) which was tasked with investigating reports of UFOs.
In 2022, Luis Elizondo revealed that he would be writing a tell-all book about his work for the Department of Defense that he claimed will have “profound implications for humanity.”
That book, Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs, has now been published and this week he spoke to the New York Times about it.
In the book he asserted that a decades-long UFO crash retrieval program has been operating as a supersecret umbrella group made up of government officials working with defense and aerospace contractors. Over the years, he wrote, technology and biological remains of nonhuman origin have been retrieved from these crashes.
“Humanity is, in fact, not the only intelligent life in the universe, and not the alpha species,” Elizondo wrote.
According to the Times, Luis Elizondo still holds the highest security clearances and consults for the government. So he’s not just some crackpot.
In an article he Elizondo penned for Newsweek this week, Luis Elizondo talked about the Navy “Tic Tac” video from 2004 and the “Go Fast” and “Gimbal” videos from 2014-2015 that were released in 2017.
“These videos showed aircraft performing maneuvers that defied our understanding of physics and aerodynamics,” he writes. “In terms of speed, conventional U.S. aircraft like the SR-71 Blackbird can reach speeds of about Mach 5 — roughly 3,200 miles per hour. However, the UAP observed in many of the videos in possession by the Pentagon were reportedly performing maneuvers at speeds estimated to be many times faster than this—and withstanding up to several thousand G-forces, far beyond the capabilities of any known human-made aircraft.
“These objects were making rapid turns and accelerating in ways that defy our understanding of physics and material science, which would be impossible for any pilot or current technology to withstand without catastrophic failure.”
In his book, Luis Elizondo reiterates and expands on claims he has made in the past including one in which he says government officials retrieved “technology and biological objects” after the infamous Roswell crash of 1947.
“Our primitive EMP (electromagnetic pulse) device must have somehow disrupted their propulsion bubble, rendering them vulnerable,” he write, according to the Express, adding it was “like a 757 losing all power on its jet engines. Four deceased nonhuman bodies were in fact recovered from the 1947 Roswell crash.”
“Imagine a technology that can do 6-to-700 g-forces, that can fly at 13,000 miles an hour, that can evade radar and that can fly through air and water and possibly space,” Elizondo revealed to CBS News’ Bill Whitaker in 2022. “And oh, by the way, has no obvious signs of propulsion, no wings, no control surfaces and yet still can defy the natural effects of Earth’s gravity. That’s precisely what we’re seeing.”
