Luis Elizondo claims UAPs are attracted to water and nuclear activity

Luis Elizondo, former head of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), suggests in his book, ‘Imminent’, that Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) are drawn to specific environments: large bodies of water and areas with nuclear activity.

Elizondo notes that UAP sightings often coincide with nuclear disasters or facilities, citing Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima as examples. He posits that these objects may use water as a source of propulsion. Citing a theory by engineer Harold ‘Hal’ Puthoff, the book suggests UAPs might be capable of performing fission on hydrogen protons found in water to generate the energy required for flight.

The former official also mentions a previous operational plan, ‘Operation Intruder’, which aimed to use a nuclear aircraft carrier as bait in the Atlantic to attract and potentially capture a UAP.
