Another UFO Boss to Break Silence in Memoir

Another high-ranking government official who investigated UFOs/UAPs is ready to tell their story.

Jay Stratton, the former director of the US government’s secretive Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, has struck a memoir deal with HarperCollins. Stratton represents the most senior former US government official yet to go public about their direct involvement in the investigation of UAP and non-human intelligence.

For over 16 years, Stratton worked as a senior intelligence official, leading countless US government investigations of UAP 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 lawfully disclosed, providing a first-hand account of the shocking discoveries, challenges and breakthroughs that have marked the US government’s investigation and understanding of UAP and non-human intelligence, as well as the effects on Stratton and his family.”

In a statement to The Hollywood ReporterStratton said, “We are at the beginning of a new chapter for humanity. The process of disclosure is complex but it has begun.”

The book was developed with producer Dan Farah of Farah Films (Ready Player One, The Phenomenon), who also has TV and film rights. Recently, Farah was also behind another memoir, Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs by Luis “Lue” Elizondo, a former senior intelligence official. That title shot to No. 1 on the best-seller list after its release last month.

According to the Stratton’s bio: “It was while serving as the Chief of Air & Space Warfare at the DIA that Stratton and his colleagues learned about the existence of UAP and the related national security concerns. In response, they created the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Applications Program (AAWSAP), the first official US government program to investigate UAP since the closure of the Air Force’s Project Blue Book in 1969. AAWSAP was sponsored by then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and grew into AATIP, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. … Amongst Stratton’s hand-picked team members was whistleblower David Grusch, who tested under oath to Congress last year about technological and biological evidence of non-human intelligence. The Secretary of Defense announced the UAP Task Force in 2020, naming Stratton the program’s Director.”

Last year, the US Senate introduced the bipartisan UAP Disclosure Act, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Rounds (R-SD), Sen. Rubio (R-Fl) and Sen. Gillibrand (D-NY). The act proposes laws that would bring about public disclosure on what the US government knows about UAP and non-human intelligence. Schumer said at the time, “The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence and unexplainable phenomena.”
