Does Luis Elizondo Believe An Alien Invasion Is ’Imminent’!?
Alien Life & UFO/UAPs
Thursday 22nd, August 2024
Luis Elizondo, the former director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), has made headlines with his provocative assertions regarding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), commonly referred to as UFOs. Elizondo’s new book, Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs, details his experiences and concerns about these mysterious objects, suggesting that they may be part of a larger, more troubling agenda.
Elizondo, who led AATIP, a programme tasked with investigating reports of unexplained aerial phenomena, warns that the behaviour and capabilities of these UAPs raise significant concerns. He argues that while the possibility exists that not all non-human intelligences (NHIs) are hostile, the ones that have been observed by military personnel do not seem to have humanity’s best interests at heart.
"UFOs raise some serious red flags", Elizondo writes in his book. "There’s no real evidence that they’re here to help us, and the way they’ve been interacting suggests something far more worrisome. While it’s possible not all NHI are bad, the ones interacting here don’t appear to have our best interests in mind".
Elizondo’s claims have sparked a wide range of reactions. Some commentators argue that his insights should be taken seriously, especially given his role within the U.S. government and his access to classified information. The notion that UAPs may represent a potential threat to humanity is not new, but Elizondo’s warnings have added a new level of urgency to the discussion.
He also suggests that the secrecy surrounding UFOs might not solely be about preventing public panic. Instead, it could be a strategic move by governments to maintain a tactical advantage in what could be a high-stakes game against a possibly hostile force. Elizondo speculates, “Maybe it’s not just about preventing panic. It could be that we don’t want them—whoever or whatever they are—to know that we’re aware of their intentions”.
However, this perspective is not without its detractors. Critics argue that if an advanced alien civilisation is already here, possessing technology far beyond human understanding, it seems unlikely they would need to hide their intentions if they intended to do harm. With the capability for interstellar travel, potentially covering distances of light years at speeds many times faster than 300,000 kilometres per hour, such a civilisation would presumably have little reason to worry about human awareness.
Moreover, some sceptics suggest that Elizondo’s alarming statements could be part of a deliberate strategy to incite fear among the public. There is speculation that his claims might be influenced by those in positions of power who could have ulterior motives for stoking anxiety. In a world where governments and elites often seek to control public perception, the idea that fear of an alien invasion could be used as a tool for mass manipulation is not far-fetched.
The possibility that Elizondo could be an unwitting—or even willing—participant in a broader agenda to shift public focus towards increased defence spending and surveillance initiatives cannot be dismissed. If UAPs are indeed a real and present threat, the resulting panic could justify significant increases in military expenditure and expanded governmental powers, ostensibly in the name of protecting humanity.an interesting piece by Todd Farley and Steven Greensreet from the New York Post from May 2022, they believe that we as a human race are further away from disclosure than ever, despite the tidal wave of news stories, official documents and videos of UFOs all over the internet.
What we've been told or led to believe could be a mix of crafted releases, a play on words and a sugarcoating of timelines and individuals involvements in the varies departments with government.
But why, is there something to hide, is the water being muddied intentionally, why not tell the truth...
The ongoing story of UFOs and government investigations is more tangled than it initially seemed. What started with a bombshell New York Times article has evolved into a complex web of confusion, misinformation, and disputed narratives. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the Pentagon’s UFO investigation saga, featuring the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) and the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP).
2007-2012: At the behest of Senator Harry Reid, the Pentagon created a UFO research program known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). Initially funded with €19.7 ($22) million, the program was managed by Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAS), founded by millionaire Robert Bigelow, a longtime UFO enthusiast.
The program was directed by Luis Elizondo, a former Pentagon counterintelligence official, and involved controversial figures like Hal Puthoff, known for his involvement in Project Stargate and claims of psychic abilities.
December 2017: The New York Times, along with Politico, published front-page stories revealing the existence of AATIP, including videos of UFOs filmed by the US Navy. This coverage was a turning point, bringing the UFO topic into the mainstream media spotlight and sparking widespread public and congressional interest.
Conflicting Details: Discrepancies emerged regarding the program’s name and timeline. The New York Times reported the program began in 2007, while Politico suggested 2009. Issues with the accuracy of the program’s name, which varied between “Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program” and “Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program”, also arose.
Elizondo claimed to be the director of AATIP. However, Pentagon statements and documents have consistently denied his official involvement. The confusion deepened when it was revealed that Elizondo's role, if any, might have been more informal or unofficial.
The Pentagon’s program, known officially as the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP), was AATIP. Funded by the same €19.7 ($22) million, AAWSAP's primary focus was on aerospace technologies and foreign threats, rather than UFOs or paranormal phenomena.
AAWSAP, under the direction of James Lacatski, was tasked with studying a broad range of topics, including paranormal phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch. The program was criticized for its focus on unorthodox subjects like ghosts and werewolves.
AAWSAP was shut down in 2012 due to perceived lack of progress. Elizondo’s subsequent claims about continuing AATIP's work appear to have been more about maintaining interest in UFO research rather than managing an official program.
James Lacatski and Colm Keller, in their book Skinwalkers at the Pentagon, have criticized the original reporting, stating that the New York Times article only covered a fraction of AAWSAP’s actual activities and failed to clarify the program’s true nature.
Leslie Cain and Ralph Blumenthal played key roles in the New York Times articles. Cain’s focus was on establishing the credibility of UFO research, potentially at the expense of a full and nuanced portrayal of the programs involved. Blumenthal, a seasoned journalist, contributed to the story’s high-profile exposure but also faced criticism for not addressing all aspects of the AAWSAP program.
Despite the initial excitement, much of the detailed, accurate information about the Pentagon’s UFO investigations remains underreported or misunderstood. The real nature of these programs continues to be debated, with many questions left unanswered.
The UFO topic remains a point of interest for both the public and Congress, with ongoing discussions about the implications of the initial reports and the need for clearer, more accurate information.
The story of the Pentagon’s UFO programs is a classic example of how complex and multifaceted issues can become muddled through conflicting reports, miscommunications, and evolving narratives. While the fascination with UFOs persists, it’s crucial to sift through the layers of misinformation and focus on verified, clear information to understand the true scope and impact of these investigations.
