0:00A Lockheed Martin vice president saying
0:01the company holds a dozen crashed UFOs,
0:04glowing orbs linked to cancer, a giant
0:06black cube hovering over a California
0:08air base watched by Air Force pilots.
0:11These are just a few of the claims in
0:12Out of the Shadows, the new memoir from
0:14Jay Stratton, the man who led the
0:16Pentagon's UAP Task Force. I read it
0:18cover to cover and these are 10 of the
0:20things that I found interesting.
0:24Who is Jay Stratton?
0:27Why should we care what Jay Stratton
0:28says? Because roughly 16 of his 33 years
0:31in military and intelligence service,
0:33investigating UFOs was part of his
0:34actual job. He enlisted in the army in
0:361989 at just 17, later served as an
0:39intelligence officer in the Air Force
0:40Reserve, completed three deployments in
0:42support of operations in Kosovo and
0:44Bosnia, and earned his degree from
0:46Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
0:48From there, he worked as a civilian
0:49aerospace engineer [music] at Naval Air
0:51Systems Command, testing new weapons and
0:53technologies before moving into naval
0:54intelligence in 2001. In 2005, he was
0:57promoted and moved to the Defense
0:59Intelligence Agency, where he became
1:01chief of air and space [music] warfare.
1:03And in 2006, he deployed to Baghdad
1:05alongside the CIA.
1:06Stratton's UFO work started around 2008,
1:09>> [music]
1:09>> when he got involved with AATIP, a DIA
1:11program that studied UFOs and other
1:13anomalous phenomena until its funding
1:15ended around 2010. In 2017, he helped
1:17push UFO disclosure from behind the
1:19scenes. The plan was for colleagues like
1:21Lue Elizondo to go public and get the
1:23media talking while Stratton stayed
1:24inside the government and briefed
1:26members of Congress and senior [music]
1:27officials as their interest grew.
1:29Then in 2020, the Pentagon named
1:31Stratton the first director of the brand
1:33new UAP Task Force, [music] a Pentagon
1:35task force to study UFO reports from
1:37across the military and intelligence
1:38community, especially cases [music]
1:40backed by multiple sensors. He retired
1:42in early 2022 as a senior intelligence
1:44[music] executive. Those two government
1:46posts, AATIP and the UAP Task Force, are
1:49where most of the book's wildest
1:50material regarding UFOs comes from.
1:52Let's get into it.
1:53>> I thought
1:54joining the army
1:55in 1989
1:57that I would be chasing UAP and working
2:00in topic.
2:02It's like it's like
2:03amazing career to have. Almost 33 years,
2:06over 16 of those were investigating UAP
2:09and non-human intelligent life on behalf
2:10of the US government.
2:16>> One.
2:17A Lockheed Martin VP said the crash
2:19retrieval program is real.
2:21The most explosive part of the book
2:22comes from Stratton's conversations with
2:24Dr. James Ryder, a vice president at
2:26Lockheed Martin Space Systems from 2005
2:29to 2011, who spent nearly 40 years at
2:32the company. Ryder died in 2018, but in
2:35early 2009, physicist Hal Puthoff and
2:37Eric Davis arranged a secret meeting
2:39between Ryder and Stratton.
2:41Over months of private meetings, Ryder
2:43opened up about what he called the
2:44legacy program.
2:45Ryder's name has since surfaced
2:47publicly. Lue Elizondo has named him as
2:49the Lockheed executive who wanted to
2:50hand over recovered UFO material to
2:52ASAP. And at the September 2025 House
2:55hearing, journalist George Knapp
2:56testified that James Ryder was a UFO
2:59gatekeeper.
3:00>> Are any of you willing to name specific
3:02gatekeepers within the root cell of the
3:04UAP SAP Federation?
3:14>> You mean specific people and contractors
3:16that have dealt with us and kept the
3:17secret?
3:18>> individuals.
3:22>> Well, one of them was named Dr. James
3:24Ryder
3:26at at Lockheed.
3:28Um but you know, again, to to to
3:29emphasize, I I don't fault these
3:31contractors [music] for doing what they
3:33were asked to do by our government.
3:35They're supposed to lie if people ask
3:37about it and uh
3:38>> [music]
3:39>> intelligence agencies who who gave this
3:41stuff to them, CIA I think primarily,
3:44told them to keep it quiet and they and
3:46they've done that. And I I suspect that
3:48they'd like an off-ramp,
3:49>> [music]
3:49>> um
3:50that they'd like some help with figuring
3:51out this technology at some point.
3:54>> According to Stratton, James Ryder told
3:55him the following about the UFO cover-up
3:57and the crash retrieval and reverse
3:58engineering program.
4:00A US crash retrieval and reverse
4:01engineering program has existed since
4:03the 1940s. Rider said he reported to
4:05legendary Lockheed Skunk Works chief Ben
4:07Rich, who oversaw the company's role in
4:09[music] this program.
4:11At Roswell, a craft broke into two
4:13pieces and both were recovered along
4:14with non-human pilots, then sent to
4:16Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
4:18[music]
4:19Lockheed Martin alone holds 12 craft of
4:21non-human origin.
4:22Rider described one of them as shaped
4:24like a bell or an acorn with no
4:26controls, no seats, and no visible power
4:28source inside. It seemed bigger on the
4:30inside than the outside.
4:32Lockheed isn't the only contractor that
4:34has them. Stratton names others as TRW,
4:37the original [music] prime contractor,
4:39plus Northrop Grumman, Battelle, EG&G,
4:41Raytheon, and The Aerospace Corporation.
4:44Bodies of several different non-human
4:46species were recovered from multiple
4:47crashes. Some occupants arrived alive,
4:50refused [music] food, and died. Attempts
4:52to communicate went nowhere. Some of
4:54what was involved was so disturbing that
4:56people involved suffered mental
4:58breakdowns, and some took their own
4:59lives.
5:00Today, elements of the CIA control the
5:02program, and only elements of the CIA's
5:04Directorate of Science and Technology
5:06sees the whole picture. The Department
5:08of Energy plays a major role, and
5:10recoveries were mainly handled by the
5:12Air Force Special Operations.
5:14James Rider worked with Stratton and
5:16tried to transfer at least one of
5:17Lockheed's recovered craft ASAP. Senator
5:19Harry Reid backed the plan, [music] but
5:21a single senior official in the CIA's
5:23Directorate of Science and Technology
5:24shut it down.
5:26The program is compartmented so that no
5:27one, not even the president, has the
5:29full picture. And Project Blue Book was
5:31used to make the subject a joke. Most of
5:34these claims aren't new on their own.
5:35What's new is hearing them attributed to
5:37someone this senior at Lockheed Martin,
5:39like James Rider. Keep in mind, this is
5:41Stratton's account of a private
5:42conversation with the man who can no
5:44longer confirm or deny them.
5:46Two, strange encounters [music] at
5:48Skinwalker Ranch.
5:49In its early days, AATIP investigated
5:51Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, long rumored
5:53to be a hotbed of UFO and paranormal
5:55activity. The book describes some of
5:57what program personnel ran into at
5:59Skinwalker Ranch.
6:01DIA scientist James Lacatski was sitting
6:03at a kitchen table on the ranch when a
6:05yellowish tube-shaped structure appeared
6:07in midair a few feet away. It hung there
6:09silently for about 30 seconds then
6:11[music] vanished.
6:12On Stratton's first trip, he and two
6:14military aviators saw a tall dark figure
6:17standing in the second floor window of
6:19an abandoned house through night vision
6:20goggles.
6:21The house had no second floor left, just
6:23broken [music] beams.
6:25The next day he watched a silent
6:26triangle-shaped craft streak across the
6:28sky in broad [music] daylight.
6:30On his second trip, Stratton saw a
6:32figure 7 to 8 ft tall standing in the
6:34tree line.
6:35Its outline shimmering like the cloaking
6:37effect in the original Predator movie.
6:39Stratton also saw glowing orbs moving
6:40around the ranch at night, white, blue,
6:42and orange, which [music] he says moved
6:44as if they were conducting surveillance.
6:47Three, close encounters make people
6:48sick. One of the most troubling themes
6:50in the books is that UFO encounters can
6:52cause serious injury.
6:54One early case came from Dr. Kit Green
6:56who examined a woman who said an orb
6:58passed straight through her body. She
7:00was in perfect health at the time, but
7:01within weeks her condition deteriorated,
7:03and months later she was diagnosed with
7:05terminal cancer. Green concluded it was
7:07caused by ionizing radiation from the
7:09orb.
7:10Stratton [music] writes that people
7:11exposed to UFOs at close range develop
7:14acute symptoms, burns consistent [music]
7:16with ionizing radiation, neurological
7:18disruption, sudden onset cognitive
7:20impairment, and long-lasting
7:22psychological trauma. And he says that
7:24over and over those with the most
7:26intense exposures survived only 5 to 7
7:28years afterwards.
7:29In other words, Stratton is saying close
7:31exposure to UFOs can be fatal [music]
7:33over time.
7:35He was worried enough to brief the
7:36Deputy Secretary of Health and Human
7:37Services. He told him some of these
7:39symptoms match those reported by Havana
7:41Syndrome patients.
7:44Four, the hitchhiker [music] effect,
7:45when the phenomena follows you home.
7:48Stratton says that after his first trip
7:49to Skinwalker Ranch, something followed
7:51him home. He even coined the name for
7:53it. When he told the team what was
7:55happening, [music] he said, "I think I
7:56brought a hitchhiker from the ranch."
7:58And the hitchhiker effect stuck. Here
8:00are some of the things Stratton
8:01describes [music] happening at his home
8:03after investigating UFOs for the
8:04government.
8:06It started with doors opening on their
8:07own and footsteps in empty rooms. Then
8:10orbs came, swarms of red, white, and
8:12blue balls of light. And later small
8:14yellow orbs, anywhere from golf ball to
8:16basketball size, rising out of the floor
8:19and passing through walls.
8:21The most frightening night involved his
8:2213-year-old son, Johnny. At 3:00 a.m.,
8:25balls of light swarmed his room. Johnny
8:27was legally deaf and had taken out his
8:29hearing aids. Yet he said he could hear
8:31them screaming. Some of the lights
8:32started vibrating, turned red, [music]
8:34and slammed into his face, chest, and
8:36stomach. When Stratton ran in, he found
8:38his son bruised on the face and from his
8:40chest to his stomach,
8:41burning with fever, drenched in sweat,
8:43and struggling to breathe. They took him
8:45to the emergency room.
8:47It didn't stop there. Stratton's wife
8:49reported seeing a 7-ft wolf-like
8:51creature standing on its hind legs
8:53outside the house at night with black
8:54fur and golden eyes. As she watched, a
8:57glowing light opened in the trees behind
8:58it, and the creature stepped into it and
9:00vanished.
9:01A few days later, both of their sons saw
9:03the creature in the backyard and grabbed
9:04their hunting rifles.
9:06After that, the family saw what looked
9:08like portals open in the backyard,
9:10swirling 7 to 8 ft across, and
9:12Stratton's wife and sons said they saw
9:13tall, dark figures watching them from
9:15the inside.
9:17Shadow beings became a regular presence
9:18around the home, and sometimes these
9:20shadow beings would physically harm the
9:21Strattons, shaking them awake at night
9:24or hitting them in the chest. Once, four
9:26bleeding scratches appeared on Johnny's
9:28arm while he stood in a doorway.
9:30Stratton writes that he felt helpless to
9:32protect his family. Five, the phenomena
9:34harms dogs.
9:36Some of the strangest and saddest
9:37stories in the book involved dogs. The
9:39orbs inside the Stratton home would get
9:41the attention of the Stratton family
9:42dog, a German Shepherd named Ziva.
9:45Ziva would often bark at the orbs.
9:47Sometimes these orbs would pass right
9:49through her body, and when this
9:50happened, she collapsed and shook with
9:51violent tremors.
9:53Ziva eventually developed cancer and
9:55died, which the family suspects was
9:57linked to the encounters with the orbs.
10:00There were also strange encounters with
10:01UFOs and dogs at Skinwalker Ranch.
10:04Back in the 1990s, before Robert Bigelow
10:06bought the ranch, the owner watched
10:07three dogs bark at a blue orb and chase
10:09it.
10:10He heard yelps, then silence.
10:12All that was left where they were last
10:13seen were three greasy charred patches
10:16on the ground as if the dogs had been
10:17vaporized by the orb.
10:20Six.
10:20>> [music]
10:21>> High-ranking Pentagon officials say the
10:22UFO phenomena is demonic.
10:24After Stratton briefed AATIP's findings
10:26to the Deputy Director of the DIA, a
10:28former CIA officer, the official leaned
10:30in and told him, "You're [music] messing
10:31in Satan's world. You're poking demons.
10:34You should stop." A few days later, it
10:36was in writing. An official response to
10:38the program was chasing demons [music]
10:39and the DIA would refuse any more
10:41congressional funding for it.
10:43This isn't the first time we've heard
10:44this. Reports going back years describe
10:46a faction inside the defense world that
10:48believes the phenomena is spiritual in
10:49nature and these people even believe
10:51studying the phenomena could invite more
10:52of it. UFO researchers sometimes call
10:55this group the Collins Elite, a name
10:56popularized by author Nick Redfern.
10:59Stratton's associate, Luis Elizondo, has
11:00spoken on this group of Pentagon
11:02officials who view the phenomena as
11:03demonic.
11:04>> There are religious fundamentalists
11:06inside the Pentagon and inside the US
11:08government and specifically the
11:09intelligence community that have a very,
11:14how shall I say, strict interpretation
11:16of their philosophical belief system.
11:18>> Elizondo recounts one specific encounter
11:21with a high-ranking member of this
11:23so-called Collins Elite.
11:25>> He stopped me in the halls of the
11:27Pentagon. He said, "Have you read your
11:28Bible lately?"
11:30And I was kind of surprised by the
11:31question like
11:33I mean, I know what the Bible says. What
11:35May I ask specifically what you mean?
11:37He says, "You You know what we're
11:38dealing with are are demons. These are
11:41demonic beings and we shouldn't be
11:43looking at
11:44>> Seven. Marco Rubio was an early ally.
11:47Stratton writes that as early as 2018,
11:49then Senator Marco Rubio was one of the
11:51strongest allies in Congress for taking
11:53UFOs seriously. Rubio treated it as a
11:55national security issue. "Things are
11:57flying through our airspace and we can't
11:58identify them. That's a problem."
12:01Stratton gave Rubio and other senators
12:02numerous classified briefings. In one of
12:04them, a senator made a dummy UFO joke
12:06and Rubio stopped the briefing and
12:08called him out, telling him his behavior
12:09was a dereliction of his duty. The
12:11senator apologized. Stratton says the
12:13movement was lucky to have Rubio at that
12:15moment, and Rubio began speaking on UFOs
12:17in a serious, elevated manner on
12:19national media.
12:20>> Are we alone?
12:22>> [laughter]
12:23>> Um you know, look, here's the
12:24interesting thing for me about all this
12:25and the reason why I think it's an
12:26important topic, [music] okay? And that
12:28is we have uh things flying over our
12:31military bases and places where we're
12:33conducting military exercises, [music]
12:35and we don't know what it is and it
12:36isn't ours. So, that's a legitimate
12:39question to ask. [music] And I would say
12:41that um
12:42frankly that if it's something of
12:44outside outside this planet, that might
12:47actually be better than the fact that
12:48[music] we've seen some technological
12:49leap on behalf of the Chinese or the
12:51Russians or some other adversary.
12:53>> Eight, the UAP Task Force UFO case
12:56files.
12:57The Pentagon set up the UAP Task Force
12:59in August of 2020 to investigate UFO
13:01reports focusing on cases with multiple
13:03witnesses and hard data like radar and
13:05video.
13:06>> A new effort by the Pentagon to
13:07investigate possible UFOs.
13:10>> The Defense Department announcing a task
13:12force will review unexplained aerial
13:14phenomenon observed by the US military.
13:17>> Pentagon is getting into the business
13:19of investigating UFOs.
13:22The effort will be unveiled in the next
13:23several days. Members of Congress and
13:26the Defense Department have long
13:27expressed concern about the appearance
13:30of unidentified aircraft.
13:32>> Once the task force was created,
13:33Stratton was put in charge of running
13:35and assembling a team from various
13:36agencies with the clearances to see
13:38military and intelligence reports.
13:41Stratton heard about many military UFO
13:42cases. Here are a few of the cases he
13:44describes.
13:46The nuclear base triangle. At midnight,
13:49an air traffic controller at a US
13:50nuclear base, someone Stratton says he
13:52knows well, watched a black football
13:54field-size triangle hover silently about
13:57500 ft over the secure weapon storage
13:58area.
14:00Her supervisor saw it, too. Then it shot
14:02straight up more than 60,000 ft and
14:03vanished from radar.
14:05A minute later, it dropped back down to
14:07about 1,000 ft over the same site, then
14:09accelerated past 500 mph and
14:11disappeared. The radar station picked it
14:13up, too, but assumed it was a glitch.
14:15Less than an hour later, an Air Force
14:17Colonel in dress blues walked into the
14:19lock control room, had everyone sign
14:21non-disclosure agreements, and took the
14:22tapes.
14:24The Vandenberg red square. Three Boeing
14:26contractors at Vandenberg Air Force Base
14:27reported a giant red square hovering
14:29silently over a launch facility. Later
14:32that night, a security patrol saw a
14:33bright light coming from the ocean and
14:35turned into a massive black rectangular
14:37craft about the size of a football
14:39field. It hovered over the restricted
14:40area for about a minute and then took
14:42off at 1,000 mph. More than a dozen base
14:45personnel described seeing the same
14:46thing.
14:47The Edwards black cube. An Air Force
14:49test pilot told Strand that he and his
14:52wingman were flying F-15s over Edwards
14:54Air Force Base in California when they
14:55came across a black cube a couple of
14:58stories tall hanging motionless in the
15:00air. No heat signature, no radar return.
15:03They circled it until they were low on
15:04fuel. The pilot said it just hung there
15:06defying everything we know about flight
15:08and that it felt like it was watching
15:10them.
15:11Nine. Navy UFO encounters were
15:13escalating.
15:15Strand says that the surge of UFO
15:16sightings on Navy ships in the summer of
15:182019 was treated inside the Pentagon as
15:20an alarming escalation. In July 2019,
15:23the commander of the USS Theodore
15:24Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group off San
15:26Diego emailed Strand for help in real
15:28time. Each ship in the Carrier Strike
15:30Group was tracking 10 to 15 objects,
15:32[music] spheres and triangles, at around
15:3420,000 ft moving against the wind and
15:37confirmed by multiple radars. That same
15:39summer produced some of the most famous
15:40Navy footage, the USS Omaha video of a
15:43sphere that appears to drop into the
15:44ocean and the USS Russell video of
15:47pyramid-shaped objects.
15:49Skeptics argue that the pyramid shape is
15:50just a camera effect called bokeh.
15:52Strand says his team ruled that out and
15:54determined it was a genuine UAP
15:55encounter.
15:57And the sightings haven't stopped. In
15:592023, Navy Senior Chief Alexander
16:01Wiggins says he watched a Tic Tac shaped
16:03object rise out of the ocean off
16:04Southern California and join three
16:05others before they all shot off
16:07together. And Navy Senior Chief Wiggins
16:08testified about this before Congress in
16:10September of 2025.
16:12>> On the evening of February 15th, 2023,
16:16at [music] approximately 19:15 PST
16:20in the Whiskey 291
16:22warning area off the coast of Southern
16:24California.
16:26I was serving on board USS Jackson.
16:29During that period,
16:31I moved between the interior
16:33communication center, ICC-1,
16:36and the bridge wing correlating the
16:37sensor picture with visual observations,
16:41part of my routine responsibilities for
16:43surface and air picture management.
16:46What I observed and what our crew
16:48recorded was not consistent with
16:50conventional aircraft or drones [music]
16:53as they appear on our system.
16:57A self-luminous Tic Tac shaped object
16:59emerged from the ocean before linking up
17:02with three other similar similar
17:04objects.
17:06The four then disappeared simultaneously
17:08with a high synchronized near
17:11instantaneous acceleration.
17:14I observed no sonic boom and no
17:16conventional propulsion signatures.
17:19>> Stratton's conclusions, these UFO
17:21incidents around Navy ships weren't just
17:22happening. They were increasing in
17:24number and scope. Right after the 2019
17:26incidents, Stratton was summoned by Dr.
17:28Michael Griffin, the Under Secretary of
17:29Defense for Research and Engineering.
17:31After the briefing, Griffin leaned back
17:33and said, "I don't understand any of
17:34this." When Stratton asked whether he'd
17:36explained it badly, Griffin said that
17:39the briefing was excellent, but I don't
17:40understand is how we got here. How did
17:42this get ignored for so long?
17:4510. [music] The Trump administration has
17:47backed transparency in both terms.
17:49Stratton writes that the Trump
17:50administration supported UFO
17:51transparency in both [music] the first
17:53and second terms.
17:55In 2020, Stratton briefed Dr. Aaron
17:57Miles, whom he describes as the White
17:59House's chief scientist, [music] on the
18:00UAP Task Force's findings. Miles told
18:02him, "You've piqued my interest. Keep me
18:04in the loop." And within days, the
18:06National Security Advisor asked for a
18:07briefing, [music] too. In June 2020,
18:09Stratton briefed Treasury Secretary
18:11Steve Mnuchin,
18:12>> [music]
18:12>> who told him he'd waited 58 years for
18:14this briefing.
18:15Then Mnuchin explained why he asked for
18:17it. "It's because [music] I've been
18:18thinking about what the economic impacts
18:19and other impacts would be if the
18:20president decides to go on the podium
18:22and tell the American people that we are
18:24not alone. Stratton says it was made
18:26extremely clear that this was something
18:27President [music] Trump was considering.
18:29In August 2020, Stratton also briefed
18:31the director of national intelligence
18:32John Ratcliffe. A fellow East Texan
18:34[music] who took it seriously and asked
18:36to be kept in the loop. Ratcliffe would
18:38later talk about UFOs publicly in a
18:39serious measured way.
18:41>> We need to find out when there are and
18:42there very clearly are now hundreds of
18:45unexplained sightings meaning that
18:47there's no natural phenomenon involved,
18:49there's no visual disturbance, it's not
18:51clutter or debris or birds or anything
18:54else but objects that
18:57demonstrate technologies that seem to
19:00defy the laws of physics and
19:01capabilities that we don't have as the
19:03world's superpower.
19:04>> The relationship continued into Trump's
19:06second term. In February 2026, President
19:09Trump ordered federal agencies to
19:10release their UFO files
19:12>> [music]
19:12>> and the first batch came out that May.
19:13>> President Trump says he is ordering
19:15government agencies to come clean about
19:17UFOs and the possibility of alien
19:20encounter.
19:21>> And last night from President Trump, a
19:23new promise. I will be directing the
19:25Secretary of War and other relevant
19:27departments and agencies to begin the
19:29process of identifying and releasing
19:32government files related to alien and
19:34extraterrestrial life.
19:36>> Stratton says he advised the White
19:37House, the Department of War and the
19:38Director of National Intelligence on how
19:40to release the UFO files. Those meetings
19:42are classified but he describes helping
19:44officials understand [music] where to
19:45look. Stratton says that the White House
19:47and the DNI took his advice to not
19:49punish people who come forward and to
19:50offer immunity to those who do. And he
19:52says that the administration has been
19:54briefed on the reality of the phenomenon
19:55but he still isn't sure if they'll go
19:57all the way on disclosure.
20:01So, those are 10 things that jumped out
20:03at me from Out of the Shadows, the new
20:04Jay Stratton book. To recap, we covered
20:06a Lockheed executive allegedly
20:08describing the UFO crash retrieval
20:09program in depth, strange encounters at
20:11Skinwalker Ranch, UFO encounters linked
20:14to cancer and other harm,
20:16the phenomena following Stratton home,
20:18the phenomena's harmful impacts on dogs,
20:20>> [music]
20:21>> Pentagon officials calling the phenomena
20:22demonic, Marco Rubio was an early ally.
20:26The UAP task force strangest military
20:28cases. The increase of Navy UFO
20:30encounters beginning in 2019. And the
20:33Trump administration support [music] for
20:34disclosure.
20:35Stratton's critics will rightly point
20:37out that most of these claims are merely
20:39stories lacking evidence.
20:41Whether you take every claim at face
20:42value or not, it's remarkable to hear
20:44this from a person who once ran the
20:45Pentagon's UFO task force.
20:47If this topic interests you, I'd
20:49recommend picking up a copy of the book
20:51as there's a lot more info in it that I
20:52couldn't fit in here.
20:53Which of these claims surprised you the
20:55most? Let [music] me know in the
20:55comments.
