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.
🔥 Stratton: The FBI is Investigating Two Locations Similar to Skinwalker Ranch 🔥 (Guess those folks who can't get beyond nuts and bolts are gonna need to reevaluate their position on the paranormal and weird aspects of the phenomenon.) @JeremyCorbell: "One of the things [Jay Stratton] said [at PhenomeCon], George, was really cool. He talked about active FBI investigations at two separate locations that are similar to Skinwalker Ranch. He said, boots on the ground. And I kind of heard a litt...

I've been waiting to put together a post about "Whistling Mike" who I broke the story on a year ago with my good bud Pavel of the Psicoactivo podcast. Ben Schreckinger recently wrote about him and Mike is now public as Mike Spicer and his story of UAP metamaterial he brought to Congress. Admittedly I'm not fully caught up on all of his new interviews, things have been a bit tough on my end, but he had a close encounter with a craft I think in 2009 in Wichita in which he threw a rock at the cr...

In 1996, Dark Skies creators Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman say a mysterious man showed up at their NBC premiere party, introduced himself only as “JC,” and claimed to be from the Office of Naval Intelligence. According to Bryce and Brent, JC said Dark Skies had gotten a surprising amount right and proposed feeding them information that could be incorporated into the show as a form of slow disclosure. Before leaving, JC asked for paper. JC spent about 30 seconds drawing something on a bank en...
Jay Stratton says nothing UAP-related was removed from his forthcoming book, Out of the Shadows, during its government security review. Speaking at PhenomeCon on September 11, 2026, Stratton explained why he felt confident submitting the manuscript to the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review, or DOPSR: “I wrote the security classification guide … so I know what’s classified and what isn’t.” His description of the outcome was equally direct: “At the end of the day, they took no...
Former U.S. government official Jay Stratton spoke at PhenomeCon on September 11, 2026, about his upcoming book, Out of the Shadows, and his leading role in government UAP investigations since 2005. He emphasized that he personally established major UAP programs, including AAWSAP, AATIP, and the UAP Task Force and criticized the government for dismantling that interagency framework and forcing new initiatives to start over repeatedly. Stratton revealed that DOPSR removed no UAP-related conten...

Controlled is not the way, Tim. https://t.co/DOZSBRUk7x [Quoted] Glad to see @ageofdisclosure cast back together again at PhenomeCon! We continue to call for controlled #UAP with members of Congress and an increasingly interested public and scientific community.

Are we close to Disclosure and a speech from Trump? @jaystratton's words tell you all you need to know. Stratton: "The meetings I've been sitting in, even recently, I'm like, well, wait a minute, what did I do for the last 20-plus years? Why are we back to the drawing board for something?" And this... Stratton: "Disclosure isn't about what the government does next, it's about what those of us who were there do next."
