Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we ask who is Jay Stratton?
That's correct. Who is Jay Stratton?
Now you might recognize this somewhat balding middle-aged guy
on some of The History Channel stuff.
He definitely is a main member of the UFO mafia.
From what I can see of it. He has a history with the
intelligence community as well. If you go over here to fans.com,
it tells us former director of UAP Task Force J Stratton
Homography. A highly decorated intelligence
officer, John JF Stratton Junior retired in early 2022 as a
Defense Intelligence senior executive with over 32 years of
combined military and federal service.
He worked the topic of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,
or UAP, on behalf of the US government, both as a subset to
his daily duties and as a full time position for over 16 years.
This experience culminated in his selection as the first
Director of the UAP Task Force, an interagency, a whole of
government UN quote team tasked with standardizing collection
and reporting of UAP sighting. Staton's careers spanned across
multiple agencies within the National Intelligence Community,
including the Office of Secretary of Defense, Joint
Staff, US STRATCOM, Naval Air Systems Command, diplomatic
experience in two US embassies, and multiple military units both
stateside and deployed. He was a senior representative
for the IC with key congressional committees and a
senior advisor for the White House Office of Science and
Technology Policy. Additionally, he spent 28 years
in uniform. Both enlisted as a Commission
officer in a variety of active duty and reserve positions in
both the US Army and the US Air Force Reserve.
You can see this guy's connected seven ways to Sunday.
Sounds like he's got a long career in intelligence in the
military. I just what you would expect.
I don't understand why people think that these are the go to
guys for disclosure on UFO. But let's get a bit further into
Mr. Stratton here and this article from 8news.now.com dated
February 6th, 2023. Former intelligence official
breaks silence on government UFO investigations.
This is by George Knapp. George, he puts a lot of stuff
out there. It says Dateline Las Vegas.
Jay Stratton is one of the United States government's
highest ranking and most experienced UFO hunters.
During his long career with various intelligence agencies,
Stratton might have seen more of the Pentagon's hidden UFO files
than anyone. He is the only person in the
federal government to have worked directly on all three of
the most recent UFO programs, including one based in Las
Vegas. You know these programs, at
least ATIP was a spatial access program.
That just means that only certain people have access to
it. It's not like it's even, it
doesn't have any kind of accountability really or
transparency. Very concerning to me.
When a mysterious unidentified flying object dubbed the Tic Tac
alerted U.S. Navy aviators and sensors off
the coast of San Diego in 2004, the federal government dropped
the incident instead of investigating it.
It looks like they just put it on a shelf until they could
monetize it. To me.
The 1st in depth probe into the incident occurred five years
later under the auspices of a then secular program called
AAWSAP, or the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System
Application Program, created by the Defense Intelligence Agency
with black budget funding spearheaded by Senator Harry
Reid. Harry Reid, he did so many
things that I just think we're not transparent and this is one
of them. Why should this stuff be funded
through the black budget? Just not, not a cool way of
doing things. The Tic Tac was the first UFO
incident tackled by AAWSAP and its contractor, Las Vegas.
Listen for it, Aerospace pioneer Robert Bigelow.
This whole thing just sounds so incestuous.
I mean, you've got these main players in here.
You've got Bob Bigelow, the Light, Harry Reid, Louis
Elizondo, and now we're talking about Jay Stratton.
It's the same names over and over and they're and they're
living off a taxpayer dime. the US released a report in 2018,
and Stratton is the man who wrote it.
Stratton said his work in the incidence was just that, rather
than a passion project. I didn't really have a passion
growing up, said Stratton. I didn't have all the books, I
didn't watch all the TV shows. I stepped into a job at the
Defense Intelligence Agency or some things came across the
desk. Kind of sounds like the same
narrative that Louis Elizondo puts out there.
Oh, I really wasn't interested in this stuff.
I'm a completely neutral observer here and I just
happened to get this job with the military.
From 2008 until 2021, nearly everything related to UFO
activity came across Jay Stratton's desk.
He was the individual who decided to abandon the acronym
UFO in favor of UAP, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.
Stratton worked at the highest levels of Naval Intelligence,
which loaned him to the Defense Intelligence Agency, where he
excelled at reverse engineering. He and his colleague, Doctor
James Lakatzie, a rocket scientist, saw reports of the
unknown craft. Stratton assumed that a central
location was analyzing those reports.
As we tried to find that office, we found nothing, said Stratton.
They set out to create an office that would fit that bill.
Doctor Lakatsi was reading about a UFO hotspot named Skinwalker
Ranch. After a visit to the property,
Doctor Lakatsi pitched the creation of a formal
investigation into the location. Reed agreed to fund it and
Bigelow land of the contract. Well, I think Bigelow actually
owned the land at that time, didn't he?
Streiten consulted with the AAWSAP program and later a
successor, a TIP, or the Advanced Aerospace Threat
Identification Program, in 2017, when head of a TIP Louis
Elizondo resigned and revealed the program's existence to The
New York Times. Now, how did this is something
else that you need to consider. If ATIP was a special access
program, which means it was secret and no one could know
about it except just a handful of senators or whatever, then
why didn't Louis get in trouble for revealing its existence?
This is what I don't get. Stratton's boss asked him to
come back and cobble together a new program.
Congress eventually formalized that effort under a new name,
the UAP Task Force. One of Stratton's projects was
the creation of a comprehensive but classified briefing that
included video of UAP and photos collected by the military, Most
of those images unreleased. Some were leaked, including
pictures of objects encountered on the East Coast and buzzing
Navy ships on the West Coast. Now you notice how George map
just it just glosses over what happened there.
This is what we're talking about when the video was reportedly
passed off in depending on the parking lot, allegedly from
Christopher Mellon to Louis Elizondo, as I understand it,
then to New York Times, then to Tom Delong where it's posted on
YouTube with Academy to the Stars logo splattered all over
it. But George Knapp seems to be
totally incurious about that. It's just somebody found
something somewhere. Stratton scoffed at the bunkers,
who explained away the objects as flares, drones or birds.
It's frustrating because you know the rest of the story and
you can't tell the rest of the story, said Stratton.
Well, here we go again. I know things, but I can't tell
you. In 2021, Stratton left the UAP
task force, but only after his work formed the basis for a
stunning congressional report. Of 144 incidents the task force
investigated, 143 were considered unidentified.
But not according to Shankar Patrick.
He hasn't seen anything that made him think that this stuff
could be a UFO. Stratton and chief scientist
Doctor Travis Taylor. This is another guy he's seen on
skin. Walker Ranch and stuff now work
for Radiance Technologies, a defense contractor with offices
in 17 states, including Nevada. When the two appeared in the
audience of an Alabama UFA conference in the summer of
2022, UFO circles inquired about what radius technologies might
be up to. Stratton admits that there are
more questions than answers. Well, in other words, he's not
telling you what they're up to. But can you see the revolving
door here? I mean, these guys go from
careers in the military, the intelligence community, as
defense subcontractors. They open up their own company.
And then on the for the face of it, they have all these
appearances on The History Channel or whatever other UFO
convention that they're at. Behind the scenes, you have this
constant churning between being defense contractors and
employees of the deep state. I don't know, really kind of
disturbing stuff for me. We'll go ahead and take a look
at this next article here talking about J Stratton.
This is from hollywoodreporter.com.
Date of September 10th September 10th, 2024, it says.
Another UFO boss to break silence a major book deal.
The process of disclosure has begun.
I just don't get how we're going to get disclosure from guys
who've been keeping secrets for 30 or 40 or 50 years.
Jay Stratton's memoir promises to reveal shocking discoveries,
challenges and breakthroughs in the government's research on
UFOs and Uaps. Date of September 10th, 2024, it
says. Another hype written by James
Hibbard, another high-ranking government official who
investigated UFOSUAPS, 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 Harper Collins.
Stratton represents the most senior former U.S. government
official yet to go public about their direct involvement in the
investigation of UAP and non human intelligence.
Kind of taking the same line that Louis Elizondo has.
I mean, you have a career as a military guy.
You do some time and intelligence then they give you
this cush job working the Pentagon where you sit around
and shoot the breeze about UFOs, maybe take a trip out to skid
and walk in a ranch. As soon as that program is
eliminated you get a Netherlands started, then another one.
It's just this continual feeding at the through of government
funding is what is what it looks like to me.
For over 16 years Stratton worked as a senior intelligence
officer leading countless U.S. government investigations of UAP
and non human intelligence, including the Tic Tac UAP
encountered by Navy fighter pilots and the US known security
group at 2004. Once again, they're not telling
how these videos were really. So just gloss over all the
stuff. While much of Stratton's work
it's 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.
I'm just so tired of this stuff. These guys saying, Oh well, I
have all these secrets and I've heard about this and I've heard
about that, but I just can't talk about it.
Look, you have to see if you're going to go to the well of
public sightings or the well of deep state knowledge.
I think we're going to be way better off to find answers
through the public observations of these things, through
crowdsourcing information, the truth rather about UFOs, not
from being handed it to us in bits and pieces by these deep
state players. I just don't.
I just don't get it, it says. In a statement to The Hollywood
Reporter, Stratton said we are at the beginning of a new
chapter for humanity. The process of disclosure is
complex, but it has begun. It's not complex.
You just tell people, you just give us files that aren't
redacted. It's pretty simple.
The book was developed with producer Dan Farrah.
Farrah Films. Ready Player won The Phenomena,
who also has TV and film rates. Recently, Farrah was also behind
another memoir imminent, Inside the Pentagon Hunt for UFOs, by
Louis Elizondo, a former intelligence official.
That title shot to number one on the best seller list after its
release last month. Yeah, a book about nothing, and
it's number one can imagine. Maybe now Louis will finally be
able to afford to take his camper out and have the septics
dumped out of it legally at a receptacle somewhere, pay the
fee and not have to dump it into a pit that he hand dug at a
camping site. I don't know.
I'm just hoping. According to Stratton's bio, it
was while serving as the chief of Air and 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. Yeah, they created the program,
and they put themselves in charge.
How convenient. The first official U.S.
government program to investigate UAP since the
closure of the Air Forces Project Blue Book in 1969.
AAWSAP was sponsored by then Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid and grew into ATIP. I would say it morphed into
ATIP, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.
Amongst Stratton's hand picked team was whistleblower David
Gresh, who testified underoath to Congress last year about
technological and biological evidence of non human
intelligence. These guys all seem to be coming
out of the same place. The Secretary of Defense
announced the UAP Task force in 2020, naming Stratton the
programs director. Last year, the US Senate
introduced the bipartisan UAP, UAP Disclosure Act Sponsored by
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senator Rounds, Senator
Rubio, Senator Gildebrand. The ACT proposes laws that would
bring about the 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.
Look, we know that thing with the nothing.
We also know that it's been alleged.
It seems to be the case to people with any kind of critical
thinking skills that a lot of these folks in Washington are
front running the stock market. Otherwise, how are they
accumulating so many millions of dollars in wins?
You know, it's funny, they have I guess a site now or the
Twitter account, I don't know which following Nancy Pelosi's
stock picks. I hear people following her
advice, following her trades rather have made a lot of money.
So the thing that the people that are front running stocks
will not front run you on extraterrestrial or
extradimensional technology seems a little silly to me.
I just see the same thing happening.
It's almost like these guys are just, they revolve through their
military career. They revolve into a position at
a government, at a government contractor, and then they go
into this public speaking thing where they become UFO
celebrities. And so many people are
swallowing this up hook line in the sinker.
Every time I cover one of these guys, I get a lot of it seems
like I get some angry comments and hate mail.
People are looking for heroes or superheroes.
They don't seem to really be interested in doing their own
thinking. To think that a government that
would abandoned hundreds of thousands or millions of people
down in Tennessee and North Carolina after they had been
devastated by this hurricane, that people at the local level
at least would threaten to arrest folks who are trying to
save people. That supplies have reportedly
been confiscated by government agencies.
That they're doing everything in their power to keep the public
from coming in and helping it, you know, on an individual label
level while they're being denied assistance, offered $750.
To think that that entity is concerned about providing you
with disclosure regarding UFOs seems quite childish to me.
Until next time, This is UFO warning over and out.
