From Amazon: An explosive memoir by the most senior U.S. Intelligence Official to investigate unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and non-human intelligent life
For over thirty-two years, Jay Stratton served the U.S. on the battlefield and as a senior member of the National Intelligence Community. He specialized in emerging and disruptive aerospace technologies, including the most classified U.S. capabilities, making him uniquely qualified to identify anything in air and space. But when presented with a video of a mysterious advanced aerospace vehicle over a sensitive nuclear weapon site, Stratton quickly found himself investigating the most significant national security threat he had ever faced.
Determined to uncover the truth, Stratton cofounded the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), the first official U.S. Government program to investigate UAP since the closure of the Air Force’s Project Blue Book. Confronted by institutional secrecy, Stratton learned that there is a deeply hidden UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program that has been covering up the existence of non-human intelligent life for eighty years—keeping the truth from the public, Congress, and even Presidents. These powerful gatekeepers did not want Stratton to bring about disclosure. Risking everything, Stratton relentlessly pursued his investigation while informing Congress of his findings.
Facing obstacles and threats at every turn, he pressed forward and ultimately established the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), the first whole-of-government UAP program, forcing the nation’s leadership to finally confront the unknown and inform the public.
Now, Stratton comes out of the shadows to provide a startling and eye-opening firsthand account of his battle to uncover the truth and address the most mysterious and complex national security threat of our time. He shares the shocking discoveries, challenges, behind-the-scenes revelations, and close encounters that profoundly altered his understanding of humanity’s place in the universe and took a disturbing toll on him and his family.
Out of the Shadows reads like a thriller while revealing the definitive history of the modern-day U.S. Government investigation of UAP and non-human life. It is a high-stakes journey into the deepest and most significant mystery in human history, leaving us to question everything we thought we knew.
This is what I put on Amazon; paraphrased: If he’s honest, it’s fascinating. If he’s lying, then it’s a false-flag vanity project. 4 stars.
That’s all Amazon deserves of me.
Now, let’s discuss this from the point of view of someone who investigated the paranormal for a decade, wrote three books about it (luckily no longer in print), and allowed it to swallow him whole. Me. Also, someone who’s spent time at Raytheon, Fort Huachuca, and White Sands Test Range.
I don’t know if Jay Stratton is telling the truth about the government’s involvement with UAP, but I know what others have said, and I know what I’ve seen with my own eyes throughout life.
What I do know is this: he’s telling the truth regarding the hitchhikers in his family’s home. I lived with that sh*t for over ten years, with young children, and his details are spot on regarding shadow-people behavior. For a moment, I shuddered to think he’d dug up one of my old ghost hunting books and got some ideas, but no one is bored enough to do anything like that.

The Dime Western Returns!
“Reading Jim Walker and the Redemption Hymn is equal parts quirky fun and riveting action. Cloud’s confident, entertaining voice draws the reader in like an old radio western: the perfect bite-sized story with a main character you’re ready to follow through every adventure he finds himself on. So, tune in next time…”
– Megan Stockton, author of Lovely, Dark & Deep
The history books would read that Jim Walker was brutally executed after the Battle of Goliad, but a few promises in the right ear blurred the contrast between blood and ink. Now an aging bounty hunter on the verge of retirement, his services are requested in the Northern Arizona Territory to solve the terrifying mystery of the Verde River Massacre. With guns from a local Deputy, courage from a saloon proprietor, and a deathbed confession from an all-too-familiar Medicine Woman, Jim sets off on what could be his final adventure. Will he lay the ghosts of his past to rest once and for all, or is he simply whistling his Redemption Hymn?
Stratton claims the hitchhikers may have followed him from Skinwalker Ranch, as he was the first investigator to spend time there on the government tip. I disagree. I truly believe there is no such thing as haunted places; only haunted people.
We’re all a bunch of psychic sponges. We absorb energy, whether it be positive or negative, and allow it to motivate us accordingly. If you spend too much time in the company of *ssholes, you become an *sshole. Get it?
As a ghost hunter twenty years ago, it was normal for a high-activity location to allow some of its energy to follow us home. The energy; not the spirits. We saw the activity, because the energy we took home brought it to life. The paranormal phenomenon was already there, it just needed a recharge.
The same could be said for Stratton’s paranormal occurrences within his own home. He was surely already being watched, he stepped into their world at the ranch, and brought that energy home to his family. From that moment, what was already going on through the veil of the norm became visible to those below the Stratton roof. Not only UAP, or ET themed anomalies, but potentially any other paranormal shenanigans by spirits already associated with his person, his home, or the surrounding land.
Man, I can’t wait to get back into the field! Call me, Jay; we’ll talk shop. The divisive UAP community is already at each other’s throats over this one, with either side swearing the other’s are liars. This is why I don’t hang around with people. We can’t have nice things.
Preach truths, toke jokes, and shoplift Amazon. Sleep on your butts. They get in through the butt.
