Jay Stratton is a retired U.S. intelligence official who led the UAP Task Force and previously participated in AAWSAP-era investigations and Skinwalker Ranch work.
Jay Stratton is an American intelligence professional who served in the U.S. government for more than three decades, including work with the Defense Intelligence Agency, Naval intelligence, and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. He became involved with anomalous-phenomena investigations during the AAWSAP period and later led the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force.
Stratton spent decades in naval and defense intelligence before becoming publicly associated with anomalous-phenomena programs. He participated in AAWSAP-era work, held leadership responsibilities in the UAP Task Force, and later joined Radiance Technologies. Former colleagues describe him as an official who tried to build a coherent collection effort inside institutions divided by classification and stigma. His post-government appearances have made him a key narrator of that bureaucratic struggle as well as of experiences he considers personally significant.
As task-force director, Stratton helped organize reporting across military and intelligence components and contributed to the process that produced the 2021 preliminary UAP assessment. He and his family have also described unusual experiences associated with Skinwalker Ranch and the reported “hitchhiker effect.” After retirement, Stratton spoke more publicly and joined private-sector efforts connected to disclosure and anomaly research.
Stratton is a bridge between AAWSAP, Skinwalker Ranch, and the formal UAP Task Force. He had direct program responsibility, giving his account strong historical relevance. His personal anomalous experiences and broader interpretations remain testimony rather than agency findings. That dual identity—government manager and experiencer—makes him one of the most consequential and complicated figures in the modern federal UAP chronology.

Remember what @jaystratton said at the June 2025 SCU conference? "Less than one in ten people in this country, and probably across the world is even lower, are paying attention to this topic. They're just not." ~Jay Stratton For the most part, that still holds today. How do we change that? Various governments around the world need to release all of their UFO/UAP data and analysis, and making announcements that this is real would help. And even then, there's no guarantee people will take this...

Now that Grusch has give us an appetizer on the love/hate relationship between the Grays, Reptilians & Hot Nordics, I fully expect a chapter from the upcoming @jaystratton book to be entitled: Dr. Reptilian or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying About the Grays & Love the Nordics. https://t.co/8PiJxCWhqQ
