Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs by Luis Elizondo
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
Total hokum. The author believes UFOs are artifacts made by a non-human super-intelligence – basically aliens. I was skeptical but I started with an open mind on this and was looking forward to reading about the evidence. Then he goes into his own upbringing and personal biography. I wasn’t interested in that and almost skipped it, but I’m glad I didn’t. In his own words he admitted he was a terrible student – no good at science, spelling, or anything else. That’s a pretty good description of stupid. He came up through the ranks of the army. He also claimed to be a remote viewer – i.e. someone who can see things in distant parts of the world just by thinking about them. That’s a form of ESP – or fraud perpetrated on the gullible. He has zero credibility, so I stopped reading. He thinks some of the UFOs defy the laws of physics. No. That’s why they’re laws. Just because the technical explanation for some of the incidents hasn’t been figured out, doesn’t mean some aliens or superhuman terrestrial intelligence exist. Those same laws of physics tell us aliens can’t travel to here nor can we travel to there. The Pentagon cut off the program for good reason. If these non-human built craft existed, we’d have good pictures of them by now.
