What can I say? I completely believe we are not alone and that our government (US) has failed to share information to enlighten us all on the reality of 'unidentified aerial phenomenon', (UFO's (old term), and whatever the latest term is. The names in the US government who have been part of the 'truth-seeking' and telling of this story are very familiar names to me (high-up, prominent figures). This is absolutely mind-boggling and really made me think about why? What's their motive? What's the reason? If you don't have a clearer understanding and stronger, solid belief after reading this book of what is really going on with UAP, I would be surprised. This book was recommended to me and I was skeptical but I'm not now. Wow - a serious eye-opener that should be read and discussed.
I have always been fascinated by aliens and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), which led me to read "Imminent." I expected an in-depth exploration of unexplained aerial phenomena, but I found the book to be more of a memoir than an investigative deep dive.
The story centers on Luis Elizondo’s journey from a challenging childhood to a career in the military and intelligence community. This ultimately leads to his disillusionment with government secrecy and his decision to disclose the information publicly. His perspective is undeniably unique, and some of his claims, such as remote viewing and insights into U.S. intelligence operations, are quite extraordinary.
There are compelling sections, mainly when Elizondo discusses how the government handles UAP reports. He raises thought-provoking questions that deserve attention, making it intriguing for readers interested in speculative analysis and historical patterns.
However, the book often feels bogged down by excessive acronyms, bureaucratic tangents, and agency politics. The pace slows considerably whenever it veers too far into personal anecdotes or organizational infighting. While these elements are relevant to his story, they don’t always provide much insight for the average reader.
I admire Elizondo's passion for transparency and his willingness to risk his career for the sake of awareness. However, while the book offers a unique perspective, its lack of focus and heavy personal narrative may frustrate readers seeking a more fact-based exploration of UAPs.

Fun fact, I was VERY afraid of aliens and being abducted when I was a kid. Luckily I've gotten over that and was intrigued when the news originally broke about the Pentagons UFO program (now called UAP). I have such mixed feelings about this book. It was interesting and I totally believed the set up. Then he lost me in the middle, especially when he spoke about his experience with psychic abilities. It picked back up again when it went through the work that went on to make the program public. I think it got a little too caught up in the details and I'm still on the fence on how I feel about Elizondo's theories.

I consider myself as someone who has a critical mind, skeptical at times even. I've also seen "strange lights" that to this day I cannot explain despite having a background in science and I've certainly read and consumed as much content around this topic as I can to try to explain what I've seen. This book hasn't provided anything new. The writing style weaves Elizondo's personal life in an attempt to humanise which is valid and always great for narrative, however it reads a little juvenile and is incredibly monotonous. I'm sure this was intented for those not well versed in the topic, but the delivery was not skillful. Also, some food for thought, people have been killed over far less - I doubt a book is insurance policy enough.
