Ex-Pentagon UFO program chief beefs up personal security: I'm heavily armed and have six German Shepherds

Aliens are visiting Earth, and Luis Elizondo has cited extensive evidence and data to establish the fact. What do they want, though?

"Let's hope they're not malevolent. Let's hope they're not here for their own interests.”

Elizondo, a former senior intelligence member at the Pentagon who led America's UFO search program, has definitely ruffled some feathers with his recent memoir book, Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs, where he pointed to the evidence that intelligent creatures from other planets had been visiting us for decades, if not more.

Elizondo, who calls himself a patriot, knows way more than he’s allowed to say out loud, as the government still marks a lot of UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena)- related material as "classified."

He and his allies had been gathering intelligence on the topic for years. When he realized that UAP sightings could be just a prelude to an invasion and was terrified by this, Elizondo decided to resign and raise awareness from outside the intelligence community.

"My concern was that we were spending time and money on an issue that leadership didn't want to know about. That leadership didn't want to inform the boss, the then secretary of defense, General Jim Mattis. [...] At least here in our country, when you can't fix a problem, you don't stay and make it worse. You leave," Elizondo said.

Last week, he was invited to the The Diary of A CEO podcast to discuss the American search for extraterrestrial life. In an hour-and-a-half-long interview, Elizondo recalled his whole book (though I strongly recommend reading Imminent as the storytelling is captivating), too.

Elizondo is sure that we’re not alone. What he's not sure about is aliens' motivation for their frequent visits to the Earth, but he has theories.

Maybe they're simply monitoring us like we observe wild animals in the African Serengeti?

"We land the helicopter, we come out, we draw blood, we do tests. We want to see its diet and its migratory patterns, its health. And then what happens? A wildebeest wakes up kind of groggy, disoriented, stumbles over to the watering hole, and he's like, hey, Bill, you're not going to believe this, man. This thing came out of the sky. All of a sudden, weird stuff happened. I was being touched, I woke up, and now my butt hurts, right?" Elizondo said.

Another option is that humans, being a violent species, might be getting closer to replicating what extraterrestrial intelligent life can do, and they are getting alarmed.

Numerous abductions point to the fact that those visitations are not entirely friendly visits.

"I've never been abducted. I've had some some people that swear by it, but, you know, you can't have a conversation about abduction and then say, oh, they're here for peaceful reasons," Elizondo said.

He believes people saying they've been abducted are being truthful. What is more intriguing is that some abductees have medical disability after the encounter and are on a US disability allowance.

Elizondo pointed to a specific and unprecedented example of a UAP encounter. In 2015, the US government acknowledged that the medical disability of John Burroughs was a direct result of his encounter with a UAP in England's Rendlesham Forest in December 1980.

"They [Burroughs and Jim Penniston] were injured. And that's not all. There's a lot of people that have been injured right now that are under medical care by government doctors. That is a fact," Elizondo said.

In the podcast, he again established that "we are absolutely not alone in the universe."

I suggest you check out his book for the data he's backing this claim with. As I mentioned, it's not only eye-opening but also simply reads as a captivating novel as Elizondo shares his personal struggles and experiences while trying to bring this topic to light.

"My life has been threatened many times, and it's very concerning for me. It's the reason why I live in Wyoming and I'm heavily armed and have now six German Shepherds. Yeah, I'm very cautious and careful."
