Another senior government official who has investigated UFOs/UAPs is ready to tell his story.
Jay Stratton, former director of the U.S. government's secretive Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, has entered into a memoir deal with HarperCollins. Stratton represents the highest-ranking former U.S. government official yet to go public with his direct involvement in UAP and nonhuman intelligence investigations.
For over 16 years, Stratton served as a senior intelligence officer, leading countless U.S. government investigations into UAPs and non-human intelligence, including the “Tic Tac” UAP encountered by Navy fighter pilots and the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group in 2004. While much of Stratton’s work is classified, the memoir promises to reveal “all that can be legally disclosed, providing a firsthand account of the shocking discoveries, challenges, and innovations that have characterized the U.S. government’s investigation and understanding of UAPs and non-human intelligence, as well as the effects on Stratton and his family.”
“We are at the beginning of a new chapter for humanity,” Stratton said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “The disclosure process is complex but it has begun.”
The book was packaged by producer Dan Farah of Farah Films (Ready Player One), which also has the television and film rights. Farah was also recently responsible for another autobiography, Coming Soon: Inside the Pentagon's UFO Hunt by Luis “Lue” Elizondo, a former high-ranking intelligence official. That title shot to #1 on the bestseller list after its release last month.
According to the book’s press release: “It was while serving as DIA’s chief of air and space warfare that Stratton and his colleagues learned about the existence of UAP and the associated national security concerns. In response, they created the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Applications Program (AAWSAP), the first official U.S. government program to investigate UAP since the Air Force’s Project Blue Book was terminated in 1969. AAWSAP was sponsored by then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and evolved into AATIP, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. … Among the team members Stratton handpicked was whistleblower David Grusch, who testified under oath to Congress last year about technological and biological evidence of nonhuman intelligence. The Secretary of Defense announced the UAP Task Force in 2020, naming Stratton as the program’s director.”
Last year, the U.S. Senate introduced the bipartisan UAP Disclosure Act, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senator Rounds (R-SD), Senator Rubio (R-Fl), and Senator Gillibrand (D-NY). The act proposes legislation that would lead to the public disclosure of what the U.S. government knows about UAPs and non-human intelligence. Senator Schumer stated at the time, “The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origin, non-human intelligence, and unexplained phenomena.”
