Dr. James Lacatski - This Is Ufo Disclosure, As Far As It Can Go

Summary

The podcast delves into the secretive AAWSAP program, designed by intelligence analysts in the mid-2000s to investigate UFOs extensively. Dr. James Lacatski, the program's director, argues that UFOs are part of a larger paranormal phenomenon, suggesting a lack of government understanding about these occurrences. Through a discussion of Lacatski's new book, 'Future Visions,' the episode reveals how the truth behind UFOs remains elusive and largely hidden from the public eye.

You're the optimist of the group. You know, the biggest stash of unreleased files, as far as we know, is somewhere in the bowels of the DIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency.
