Jay Stratton is a retired senior U.S. intelligence official who served as the first director of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force. His career spans more than three decades in military and federal service, with roles across the Office of Naval Intelligence, the Department of Defense, and related intelligence entities. He has publicly asserted having seen, with his own eyes, non-human craft and beings—claims he has made in media appearances since his retirement. These assertions are drawn from Stratton’s time conducting internal investigations and gathering classified material, though they remain outside verified public documentation.

Within the controversial “Legacy Program” framework, Stratton has claimed involvement in a government crash-retrieval and reverse-engineering effort for UAP technology dating back to 1947. According to his testimony in the documentary The Age of Disclosure, he discovered that this program was withheld from key oversight channels. Stratton alleges that high-level government entities, major defense contractors, and intelligence agencies are directly involved in retrieving anomalous materials and possibly recovering non-human bodies. These are reported claims—significant in scope but lacking independently corroborated evidence in the public domain.

Stratton positioned his advocacy and media engagement as part of a broader push for “disclosure.” Following statements by former U.S. President Barack Obama on extraterrestrial life, then-President Donald Trump directed agencies to release files on UFOs and alien-related materials—a move Stratton hailed as a “landmark occasion.” He has leveled criticism at institutional secrecy, claiming that many witnesses and pieces of evidence have been explicitly denied access to oversight bodies and the public.

His role in shaping policy and institutional structures includes forming interagency data collection and reporting standards for UAP, engaging with Congressional oversight, and contributing to media projects that present UAP topics as urgent national security concerns. Stratton’s statements are polarizing—admired by disclosure advocates for their boldness; questioned by skeptics for their reliance on testimony without verifiable artifacts.

During yesterday's "Weaponized" episode, you saw @JeremyCorbell mention that Stratton told Sue Gough to say something, and she did. I posted about that (via my own source) in 2024. Although, I'm sure Jeremy and George had that info. long before I received it.

I think the main problem is this: "Less than one in ten people in this country - and probably across the world is even lower - are paying attention to this topic.
