Luis Elizondo, the man who says he was the director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) for 10 years, has written recently released a tell-all book about his time working for the U.S. government.
In the book, titled Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs, Elizondo talks about those years in which he was tasked with investigating reports of UFOs for the Pentagon.
One story Luis Elizondo shared is that the U.S. government has a decades-long UFO crash retrieval program made up of government officials working with defense and aerospace contractors.
Elizondo claims that over the years this program has retrieved technology and biological remains of nonhuman origin, as in they have obtained alien bodies from UFO crash sites.
Last week, Luis Elizondo spoke to iNews about his new book and made more startling claims about his time with the AATIP.
He claims to have been told categorically by senior fellow researchers that the notorious Roswell incident in New Mexico in 1947 really did involve a UAP crash, perhaps involving two flying saucers – and that “four deceased non-human bodies” were recovered from the wreckage and examined.
Asked what happened to these supposed bodies, he says on our video call: “We know where they were. We don’t know where they are.” He adds: “I’ve got to be careful what I say here, to not get in trouble – I still have my security clearance.”
Luis Elizondo also claims that alien bodies were recovered by the United States in Mexico in 1950 and Kazakhstan in 1989.
He says major aerospace companies have been trying to “reverse-engineer” crashed UFOs for years.
“I have held in my hand material that scientists for the US government have conducted research on, and they’ve said: ‘This is very special material, it’s highly unlikely that it’s made by human beings – and it’s engineered,” he told iNews.
He says he has handled “alleged alien implants found in humans.”
“I’ve also held in my hand biological samples, tissue samples, that have been removed from human beings – that when analyzed, do not behave like anything that we are normally used to associating with being a natural part of the human body, and certainly looks to be some sort of technical device,” he claimed.
He says he worked on the infamous Rendlesham Forest incident of 1980 in the United Kingdom.
“I’ve spoken to the deputy commander of the base who was there, I have spoken to the eyewitness who went out to the forest, there are audio logs of the encounter that you can listen to,” Elizondo said.
“They took impressions of the ground where it landed. It was a very real event, whatever it was, and it definitely elicited a U.S. response.”
In 2017, a U.S. Department of Defense spokesperson confirmed the AATIP was real and it had been run by Luis Elizondo. Then, at some later point after Elizondo began talking, the Pentagon backtracked and claimed he “had no responsibilities.”
“I’ve got stacks of US government reports that these things are real, and they’re maneuvering in ways that we cannot replicate. These are not aberrations or atmospheric anomalies. These are real, tangible pieces of technology.”
For what it’s worth, former Democratic majority leader in the Senate Harry Reid vouched for Luis Elizondo’s claimed credentials before his passing in 2021.
