I've followed the UFO/UAP subject for decades, from the classic cases like Kenneth Arnold's, through the Black Triangle sightings, and right up to the recent resurgence with Skinwalker Ranch and the Senate hearings. So, I came to Luis Elizondo's book with a solid background.
Frankly, it wasn't what I expected. Instead of a deep dive into the UAP phenomenon, it's largely an autobiography. It tells the story of Elizondo's path from a difficult youth to a career in military and intelligence, and it's filled with some pretty extraordinary claims. He talks about remote viewing, and his inside perspective on how the US government really views UAP.
You get introduced to various people, and some theories about missing time and those bright orbs. But the core of the book is Elizondo's personal journey, his disillusionment with the system, and his decision to go public.
It's an easy read, with short chapters and relatable bits, even with the wild claims. But, if you're someone who's been following this subject closely, you won't find much new here.
In short, this book is less about UAP and more about Luis Elizondo's story, and the extraordinary claims he makes along the way.

So I had to read this for a class on UFOs and Aliens in American culture. And tbh, anything that I had picked up in this book was something I had learned from another book or in class. This book is okay. It's not strictly about aliens, it's more about the author's life and government stuff. I mean there's nothing wrong with that but this guy is (in my opinion) kind of chalking himself up to be more than what he is. (I mean this is a guy who went on the Joe Rogan show like bffr.)
I mean, overall this was meh. I didn't feel like it was a complete waste of time but it's nothing astounding. But of course, what I did get from this (and what I'll forever be preaching is) always question the government and government officials.

Really interesting. Convinced me, and I was 100% skeptical. Very thorough and I'm hoping we get more information from the government as time passes. Thank you to the author and everyone who has worked to bring these things to light.
