Out of the Shadows: Revealing the Truth About Non-Human Intelligent Life is a memoir by former defense and intelligence official Jay Stratton. Announced by William Morrow for publication on October 13, 2026, the book is presented by its publisher as an account of Stratton's work on classified UAP investigations and his conclusion that some encounters involve non-human intelligence. Before release, its contents are known chiefly through publisher copy, author statements, and advance publicity.
Stratton held senior roles connected to the Defense Department's modern UAP effort, including leadership associated with the UAP Task Force. That career gives the memoir unusual institutional context: he participated in the collection and assessment of military reports rather than approaching the subject only as an outside commentator. The book is expected to describe investigations, internal resistance, and personal experiences that Stratton says shaped his views.
A cleared memoir must still be read as an authored account, not an official finding. Defense prepublication review is intended to prevent unauthorized disclosure of protected information; clearance for publication does not certify factual accuracy or endorse interpretations. Claims about recovered craft, non-human beings, or a coverup require corroborating records and first-hand evidence beyond promotional language. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, meanwhile, has publicly disputed that its historical review found proof of a hidden extraterrestrial program.
The book's significance will depend on what the published text adds: named episodes, contemporaneous documentation, clear distinctions between direct observation and second-hand reporting, and details that can be independently tested. Until publication, Out of the Shadows is best represented as a major forthcoming primary account in the modern UAP debate. It connects Stratton's biography to UAP & National Security without resolving the contested claims in advance.
🚨A P-3 CREW REPORTED A SIX FOOT SPHERE AT 20,000 FT Another excerpt from Jay Stratton's upcoming book Out of the Shadows describes an encounter involving a P-3 patrol aircraft and a spherical object roughly six ft in diameter. According to Stratton, the crew were midway through their patrol when the pilot spotted the sphere hovering off the aircraft's ten o'clock position at around 20,000 ft. They stated that it appeared unaffected by the strong winds at that altitude and seemed to be moving...
🚨THE PENTAGON PLANNED TO USE A NUCLEAR SUBMARINE AS UFO BAIT Jay Stratton has released another excerpt from his upcoming book Out of the Shadows, and this one appears to tie directly into something Luis Elizondo has spoken about before. Stratton describes a plan to use a nuclear powered submarine as bait for UFOs. The idea was to run the reactor hot, surface the submarine in an area of U.S. waters where UFOs had previously been reported and see whether anything came to investigate. According...

[Retweeted] I’m excited to announce my memoir, Out of the Shadows, will be published by HarperCollins in North America on October 13, 2026.

A new excerpt from @jaystratton's upcoming book Out of the Shadows describes a remarkable UFO “luring” concept involving a nuclear-powered submarine. According to the excerpt circulating from Stratton, the plan involved using a U.S. submarine in waters associated with UAP activity, with the working assumption that nuclear systems may attract or provoke interest from these objects. The reported goal was not simply observation. It was to create conditions where a UAP might come close enough to...
On UAP luring, Lue Elizondo gave us a partial answer back in 2020. And now, Jay Stratton is ready to elaborate in Out of the Shadows. But I think the leaks from [Quoted] Fantastic question! and unfortunately one I am not at liberty to elaborate on at this time. But...keep asking this question, its a very important one! https://t.co/vKnDMaZFKO
"Midway through their patrol, the pilot spotted a UAP: a sphere approximately 6 feet in diameter hovering at their ten o'clock." (Here are two text-version excerpts from, "Out of the Shadows," which were shared via the @jaystratton X account. Oct. 13th is the day.) "The plan was as bold as it was straightforward; it was a fishing expedition, and our strategy was built on our educated opinion that UAP were drawn to nuclear energy. Our bait would be a nuclear submarine. Its reactor running hot...
