Elizondo Says Pentagon UFO Program Has “Nonhuman” Evidence

Luis Elizondo, a prominent advocate within the UFO enthusiast community, has offered a sneak peek into his eagerly anticipated memoir, Imminent, where he discusses the existence of “nonhuman” intelligence.

Knewz.com has learned that the 52-year-old ex-Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) officer has written about previously undisclosed paranormal phenomena sightings at Los Alamos and holes cut through the steel of battle tanks in Kuwait among other things.

Another anomaly was the small implants extracted from members of the armed services by military surgeons after they had interacted with extraterrestrial beings.

A passage quoted  out of his book reads: “I once handled one of these implants myself, provided to me by a hospital in the Department of Veterans Affairs, where it had been removed from a US military service member who had encountered a UAP [Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena].”

“The material, no longer or wider than a joint of one of your fingers, looked more like a microchip encapsulated by a slimy semi-translucent casing of tissue … Under a microscope, it was still moving somehow. AAWSAP/AATIP had also obtained photographs of these sorts of tiny objects from living foreign military pilots.”

In an interview with the UK Daily Mail, Elizondo explained that he was recruited to a $22 million Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AASWAP).

Leading up to his tenure at the then-novelle government agency, the whistleblower — who is said to be living in fear for his life following his decision to go public — recalled speaking to a top DIA rocket scientist, James Lacatski, in 2008.

“He looked over his glasses at me and he said, ‘What do you think about UFOs?’”

“I paused for a moment, and I said: ‘I don’t have the luxury to think about them. I’m too busy chasing bad guys,’” Elizondo recalled.

“He said to me: ‘Don’t let your own personal bias get the best of you, because what you learn here may challenge any preconceived notions’.”

The resulting initiative was AASWAP.

Four years later funding for the program ran out and Elizondo and his colleagues were forced to cannibalize resources from earlier initiatives. 

Working under a new title, Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), the group went after Pentagon contractors known for their work in the sphere.

“We were told by the people who had the material,” Elizondo recalled.

“They sat there and said: ‘We’re happy to have this conversation with you. There’s some things you’re going to need to do if you want more access to it. But we’re happy to give this stuff to you.’”

“That’s a holy cow moment. That’s a seismic revelation. There are countless examples of this type of material being collected, that when analyzed and scrutinized by scientific experts – I’m talking about US government top secret-cleared scientists – substantiate that what we’re dealing with is something that was not made by us.”

Speaking to the Daily Mail, he noted it was at that moment that the organization clammed up on him.

Elizondo, who quit his government employment in 2017 to go public, revealed the existence of AATIP to the New York Times in a bombshell exposé.

His decision triggered an explosion of public interest in the topic and many other testimonies including that of David Grusch, who testified in front of Congress.

Elizondo’s book Imminent is set to hit the shelves on August 20.
