Jay Stratton: Out of the Shadows

Summary

Former senior intelligence official Jay Stratton, who helped create the Pentagon's AAWSAP and AATIP programs and led the first UAP Task Force, has released his book 'Out of the Shadows,' claiming he has personally seen non-human beings and craft. Host Ryan Sprague breaks down Stratton's biggest claims, including 12 recovered craft allegedly held by Lockheed Martin and a nuclear submarine used as bait to lure UAP, along with Sean Kirkpatrick's sharp rebuttal. The episode also covers a memorial for Air Force witness Mario Woods, newly released files on orbs lured at White Sands, and a former Army sniper's story of soldiers fighting reptilian beings near Area 51.

Key takeaways

• 1Jay Stratton claims that on March 12, 2014, he saw a gray, large-headed entity staring through a window at his sleeping son, and that it vanished along with a mysterious light.
• 2Former Lockheed executive Jim Ryder allegedly told Stratton in 2009 that Lockheed Martin held 12 recovered non-human craft, some with occupants recovered alive who later died after refusing food and contact.
• 3Stratton describes using a nuclear submarine and a specially equipped Navy P-3 aircraft (the 'Interloper' proposal and 'Warlock' missions) as bait, and says a UAP appeared on the very first mission.
• 4Former AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick called Stratton's claim that he helped protect a 'legacy program' 'the most absurd thing I've heard today' and accused Stratton and 'his band of pseudoscientists' of national security violations.
• 5FBI 302 forms in the latest PURSUE release describe three to four dozen orbs at White Sands Missile Range that split apart, recombined, and maneuvered within 10 feet of a helicopter.
• 6Former Army sniper Nick Betts relayed a secondhand story of Delta-type operators armed with energy weapons killing three reptilian beings in an underground base near Area 51, with one soldier killed; the host compares the story to the 1940s Shaver Mysteries.
