The largest UFO investigation ever funded by the U.S. Government was carried out in total secrecy in Las Vegas, and while most of the reports produced by the program are still classified, the scientist who managed the program, Dr. Jim Lacatski is spilling some of what he knows.

Dr. James (Jim) T. Lacatski is a retired engineer from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), where he directed the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP). AAWSAP was a $22 million, DIA-funded study of UFO/UAP and related phenomena that ran from 2008 to 2010.

Lacatski’s efforts were later chronicled in Skinwalkers at the Pentagon: An Insider’s Account of the Secret Government UFO Program, co-written with Dr. Colm Kelleher and George Knapp (2021). followed by his book Inside the U.S. Government Covert UFO Program: Initial Revelations (2023). Latactski also published a new book last month, Inside the U.S. Government Covert UFO Program: New Insights.
