James T. Lacatski – American rocket scientist and former DIA intelligence officer; founding manager of AAWSAP.
James T. Lacatski is an engineer, former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) officer, and one of the founders of AAWSAP—Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program, a U.S. government–funded initiative into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). He holds a B.S., M.S., and Doctor of Engineering degree in Nuclear Engineering, with expertise in directed‐energy systems, fusion plasmas, and missile threats. Before AAWSAP, Lacatski worked at the DIA’s Defense Warning Office, where he specialized in strategic foreign missile systems and annual missile threat assessments.
Lacatski proposed and marshaled the creation of AAWSAP around 2007, in partnership with colleagues and with support from Senator Harry Reid and others. The program was contracted to Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) in 2008, with Lacatski serving as Program Manager and Contracting Officer Representative. AAWSAP operated for about two to three years, employed roughly 50 full‐time investigators—many former military or law enforcement—produced tens of millions of dollars in research funding, and oversaw what supporters describe as the largest catalog of UAP‐related case reports compiled to that date.
Public accounts attribute to Lacatski a pivotal early experience: on visit to Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, he reportedly witnessed what he described as a “semi‐opaque, yellowish, tubular structure”—an observation that he considered technically anomalous and influential in shaping his belief that UFO phenomena might intersect with national security or advanced technology threat concerns. According to his words, some AAWSAP work went beyond observing sightings, extending into material studies, human effects, propulsion, power generation, and broader aerospace weapons research.
Where Lacatski’s role enters the ongoing disclosure debate is through these claims: that the U.S. government obtained and explored “craft of unknown origin,” sometimes without recognizable physical propulsion features; that AAWSAP wasan unusually large, technically detailed, but largely undocumented program; and that its records (including email archives) and relationships with later programs like AATIP and Kona Blue are contested or partially opaque. He has co-authored at least one insider book, “Skinwalkers at the Pentagon,” with Colm Kelleher and George Knapp, partially revealing what he says is previously untold detail about AAWSAP’s investigations and their significance.
Dr. Lacatski remains a figure of interest among researchers and policymakers exploring UAP because his claims challenge standard narratives: about the scale of government involvement, the technical scope of investigations, and the possibility that anomalies might represent something beyond conventional aerospace phenomena. His assertions are controversial and debated; what is confirmed by official records is limited, and many of his more extraordinary claims remain unverified.

Chris Mellon: "Dr James Lacatski says he put his head inside of a Spaceship" 👽🛸😱 James Lacatski, a former intelligence officer was in charge of AAWSAP which was a secretive U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) study initiated in 2008 to investigate unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) If this is true we need Dr Lacatski to testify under oath to congress. Reality should not be classified.
If it's 2036 (and it's real), should we really give a crap right now? I'm sorry, but for me, that's way too far in the future to even worry about. And I don't see a connection to something Stratton and Lacatski started around 2005 or so (with the pre-AAWSAP efforts), this current push, and something that may be happening in 2036.

On the podcast called Weaponized with Jeremy Corbell, George Knapp, and Jim Lacatski, Lacatski (maybe slipped up?) and said that the mesa wasn’t on Skinwalker Ranch. Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3KwOMitY2Azbq4GkYEA38e?si=IJYiNbUEQw-JaVBVmUeMXw
Maybe someone (Grusch) has seen more evidence than you? It's not rocket science. And whatever he has seen and heard convinced him of what he has said. What has he seen and heard? I don't know, and hope we get to find out soon. BTW, when I mention rocket science, Lacatski appears before me. Every time! 🤗 [Quoted] I want to know the truth! Why are members of Congress promoting the baseless rumor that the US gov has crashed alien craft, bodies of dead aliens, and knowledge of "sentient plasma"...

But remember: Just because it's DOPSR-approved, doesn't make it true. People need to use their own critical thinking skills and other pieces of evidence and anecdotes to decide what's credible. I mean, Grusch can write a book claiming Sleestak are the Reptilians but DOPSR approval doesn't mean it's true. [Quoted] Remember: these are DOPSR approved books on UFOs, non-human intelligence and the governmental programs that study/studied them. Throw in Lacatski's books as well. What do you get? Yo...
Remember: these are DOPSR approved books on UFOs, non-human intelligence and the governmental programs that study/studied them. Throw in Lacatski's books as well. What do you get? You get a curtain pulled back. You get Disclosure, basically. And it's all about the carefully crafted details.
Hey all. I‘m very familiar with the Weaponized interviews, but I hadn’t seen these direct interviews shared. It’s possible they were cut up and used in the Weaponized shows. The most recent is shared above, and this one was posted back in Feb - https://www.8newsnow.com/video/jim-lacatski-full-interview/11483929/
