comments on 60 Minutes by former
Pentagon and intelligence official Lou
alzando put the Global Spotlight on the
governments look into unidentified
aerial phenomena or uaps now alzando is
sharing more details about his work he
is the author of the new book imminent
inside the pentagon's hunt for UFOs in
it he writes these crafts are not made
by humans and they present a very
serious national security issue Lou
alzando joins us first right here on CBS
mornings welcome thank you my honor and
privilege yeah a lot of people I think
even if you don't believe in UFOs or you
are someone that definitely believes
that there is something out there you
talk about this idea of these crafts
being created to quote be friends from
out of town what makes you so certain
that they're not made by humans and also
if I could early in your book you said
when governments lie to their people all
of democracy is at risk do you think the
government government is lying well we
know that the the government never lies
right uh Iran Contra Pentagon Papers uh
Afghanistan withdrawal no unfortunately
the government is not this if this huge
colossal machine if you will it's it's
segregated into these little Thoms if
you will and unfortunately they don't
always coordinate and talk with one
another uh as far as these vehicles not
being made by by humans if you will
that's not me saying that we have
scientists some of the top scientists
that your tax paying payer dollars have
paid for for them to conduct This
research and at the end of the day when
you're studying the material and you're
studying the the capabilities of these
vehicles and frankly there's nothing
that we have that compares to what these
capab these vehicles can do the
capabilities that they're demonstrating
in front of us then one has to ask well
where are they from and if it's not our
technology and it's not some sort of
adversarial technology it's someone's
technology and in a statement to CBS
News the Pentagon spokesperson said that
the department will follow the data
where wherever it leads however to date
we have not found any credible evidence
of extraterrestrial activity are there
other explanations that should be
considered is there hard evidence that
this is um a nonhuman technology that's
that's a great point and so I think we
need to look at this from a temporal
aspect a Time aspect I think if you were
to look at it now and say well there's
no evidenc see things are are if you
will not human the reality is we've been
dealing with this topic as a government
for decades so it's not like there's
some sort of adversarial technology that
just popped on the proverbial radar
that's ahead of us this this is
something we've been dealing with as a
nation for 60 years so let's put that
into perspective this would be like
going into King tutt's tomb for the very
first time and finding a fully assembled
747 inside the tomb it it it doesn't
make sense right from a Time perspective
we're talking the 1950s the late 1940s
where this technology has been
demonstrated over controlled us airspace
over some of our most sensitive military
installations and by the way there's Us
official US documentation that
substantiates this you know what Lou I
really enjoyed your book I thought it
was really eye opening about the secrets
that people keep you make a point of
saying you believe Secrets have an
expiration date and seems you and your
family really went through hell as part
of your job both physically and mentally
and at one point you ended up quitting
your job and your wife said you who
quits a job without a job and you said
to her
what well I said to her a lot of things
I'm sure uh at the end of the day I made
the decision to to leave my job and
pursue this topic because it was a right
thing to do and I don't think my family
would have respected me uh if I didn't
you said a man who can't live with
himself that's that's the line that
stood out to me but why do they want to
keep this a secret and what do you mean
that Secrets have expiration dates in
less than 90 seconds sure less than 90
seconds well um secrets are are made to
protect two things sources and methods
they're not designed to stop if you will
the American people from learning the
truth about embarrassing things or
trying to hide things um this is a topic
where I believe America can handle the
truth and I think America deserves to
know the truth about this topic about
your taxpayer money that's been spent
over the decades to try to figure out
just what the heck is going on look you
have former directors of National
Intelligence former directors of CIA
even former presidents all coming out
saying yeah this is a valid and real
topic and a national security issue yeah
and I think there's so much information
in that book we so appreciate and wish
we had more time Lou Lou alzando thank
you for coming in Emin it goes on sale
tomorrow wherever you buy your books
