Hi Everyone,
For the most part, this is a video that discusses Lue Elizondo’s new book, Imminent. I did offer some news about the recent and (to my mind at least) disturbing arrest of Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov, and the apparent threat of 20 years in prison. Clearly the EU has gone full-blown Orwell. I’ll leave it there; you can hear me talk more about that.
My main topic however is Lue’s book. I have been reading it, although still working on other things as well. So I still have about 20 percent left, but I have many notes and highlighted items in my Kindle version of the book. I think this is a very, very important book for our field, in many ways comparable to the classic by USAF Captain Edward Ruppelt, Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, from way back in 1956. Like that book, this one is a very smart insider’s view of an important USG attempt to study the UFO phenomenon.
There is a great deal of new information in this book. I can’t go over all of it here, although I do cover a lot in the video. But I collected a few interesting items:
1. Nonhuman Craft: AAWSAP and AATIP investigated UFOs (called UAPs throughout the book) and concluded that these craft are not made by humans.
2. Existential Threat: This is undoubtedly a trigger warning for a percentage of people in our community. Lue states that UAPs and the nonhuman intelligence controlling them present a serious national security issue and a potential existential threat to humanity. As I point out in the video, he also states that WE are very possibly considered a threat to THEM. But the main thing here is that this is offered as his opinion, not as an unarguable fact. Personally, I think that is entirely fair.
3. Colares Incidents: I didn’t discuss this in the video but he had a few interesting things to say about the incredible Colares Incidents in Brazil from 1977 to 1978. This involved UFOs that frequently resulted in serious harm to the people living there.
4. Tank Sabotage: This was fascinating. In Kuwait, 2003, two M1 tanks were found with clean holes punched through them, as if by a supersharp cookie cutter, possibly linked to UAP activity.
5. Remote Viewing: The Stargate program, which involved remote viewing, was highly successful and reported directly to the CIA and the White House, identifying and locating storage facilities with deadly chemical war agents during the Persian Gulf War. Also, Lue himself was trained in remote viewing.
6. Roswell: Hal Puthoff confirmed to Lue that the Roswell crash was real and that four deceased nonhuman bodies were recovered from the site.
7. Biological Effects: Encounters with UAPs often resulted in negative biological effects, including injuries and deaths among military personnel, with some injuries resembling directed-energy exposure or radiation.
8. Tic Tac UFO: The 2004 Tic Tac encounter involved an object that exhibited propulsive performance characteristics implying a power generation/output of 1.1 trillion watts, more than 100 times the daily electrical utility power generation in the US.
9. Legacy Program: A highly secretive Legacy Program focused on retrieving and reverse-engineering crashed UAP materials, involving major defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, TRW, McDonnell Douglas, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, BAE Systems, and the Aerospace Corporation.
10. Psychic Abilities and UAP Attraction: He writes about studies that suggested a possible link between psychic abilities and UAP encounters, with many experiencers having Native American DNA, specifically Cherokee, and a potential genetic predisposition to enhanced intuition and psychic ability. Quite interesting.
11. Wilson-Davis: He provides more confirmation as to the reality of that whole event, which I found personally gratifying.
12. Fundamentally, he describes how the AAWSAP and AATIP programs were under siege during almost their entire existence. This is a really fascinating part of the book. Resistance came not surprisingly from the Legacy faction that didn’t want any new people interloping on their turf, but also a certain number of religiously fundamentalist people in the military who saw all of this as demonic. The Collins Elite, written previously about by Nick Redfern. Indeed, while he doesn’t mention the Kona Blue program by name, he makes it clear that this was his own attempt to save the program by taking it out of DIA and giving it better protection. That failed.
13. The Roosevelt encounters: He had lots to say about this as well, including a fascinating discussion of the Gimball video.
14. Hal Puthoff’s ideas of space-time metric engineering and the 6 observables: He discusses the six observables of UAP and how Puthoff gave a talk to the group within a SCIF describing how an Alcubierre-type of spacetime bubble can explain all of them: sudden acceleration, low observability, hypersonic speeds without signature, transmedium capability, antigravity-positive lift, and biological effects.
And much more. I am not quite done but am finding this to be a very worthwhile addition to the field.
I’ll be back on Tuesday for a Youtube video and I plan to upload written and video content later this week also!
Oh — you can check out Lue’s interview on Rogan, which I briefly discuss.
