From out of the shadows of the U.S. intelligence community, Dr. James T. Lacatski, a former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) career intelligence officer and scientist, has emerged to become best known as the program manager who initiated and oversaw the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP). The program was, in short, the Pentagon's most comprehensive—and at times most controversial—known inquiry into unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP.

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a look at Lacatski's contributions to the UAP research effort, as detailed in formerly classified files released through the Freedom of Information Act, as well as several books he has authored about his tenure with AAWSAP, the latest of which, Inside the U.S. Government Covert UFO Program: New Insights, details the secretive scientist's ongoing revelations about the DIA's investigations into the unexplained.

Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.
