  • In today's Coffee with Rich, Mike Seeklander will join us to discuss the book, Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs by Lou Elizondo! Join us! This is part 2 of the UAP/UFO series and if you have not listened to part one, please jump back into podcast episode #380. In this show we break down key information points in Lou's new book and discuss some yet undiscussed aspects of the hot topic of UAP/UFO's.

    Luis “Lue” Elizondo is a former senior intelligence official and special agent who was recruited into a strange and highly sensitive US Government program to investigate UAP incursions into sensitive military installations and air space. To accomplish his mission, Elizondo had to rely on decades of experience gained working some of America’s most sensitive and classified programs. Even then, he was not prepared for what he would learn, and the truth about the government’s long shadowy involvement in UAP investigations, and the lengths officials would take to keep them a secret.

    The stakes could not be higher. Imminent is a first-hand, revelatory account inside the Pentagon’s most closely guarded secret and a call to action to confront humanity’s greatest existential questions.
