ADVICE

Use The Books As Research Guidebooks

Treat Lacatski's books as guidebooks, not final answers; read them critically and follow their structured leads.
He intentionally withheld conclusions so new researchers can independently analyze OSAP datasets and ask fresh questions.

ADVICE

Prioritize Passing Knowledge To New Researchers

Preserve institutional knowledge by training new researchers and creating university programs to continue study.
Lacatski warns current compartmentalization risks losing history as veterans retire or die without passing on expertise.

Skinwalkers at the Pentagon is a non-fiction book that delves into the history of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a secretive Pentagon program investigating UFOs. The book details the program's investigations, including research conducted at Skinwalker Ranch, a location known for its alleged paranormal activity. It features accounts from various researchers and government officials involved in the program, offering insights into the challenges and complexities of studying unexplained aerial phenomena. The book highlights the scientific and technological aspects of the investigations, as well as the political and bureaucratic hurdles encountered. It raises questions about the nature of unidentified aerial phenomena and the government's role in understanding them.

Future Visions

the unpublished papers of Abraham Maslow

A pair of brilliant intelligence analysts working for the DIA circa 2006-2007 came up with an idea to design the largest, most audacious, and most secretive UFO program ever funded by the US government. It was dubbed AAWSAP, and the public never knew it existed until 7 years after it ended. In its 27-month existence, it created the world's largest UFO data warehouse, a stack of more than 100 thick, highly detailed reports filled with hard data about UFO cases and incidents, as well as rigorous, original investigations into connections between UFO incidents and paranormal phenomena. The two instigators of AAWSAP came to believe that paranormal events were not a subset of UFO cases, but rather, the opposite. UFOs were - and are - a small slice under a larger paranormal umbrella, according to nuclear engineer, rocket scientist, and DIA analyst Dr. James Lacatski, who was appointed director of AAWSAP and who continued to rely on his fellow innovator, Jay Stratton, who later became head of the UAP Task Force.

In this sometimes-tense conversation, Dr. Lacatski reveals that, as far as he knows, no one in government knows the full story about UFOs or where they originate, or what intelligence is behind them. Lacatski has just released "Future Visions," his fourth book culled from the unreleased files of AAWSAP. He doubts that the actual files will ever be released, and that his books constitute the closest thing to full disclosure the public might ever get. Lacatski says there is no way another AAWSAP will ever be approved, but hints that a smaller, more focused effort related to the proposed Kona Blue program did carry on after AAWSAP ended. Like the previous books, Future Visions is jammed with startling incidents, hard data from UAP encounters, and inexplicable, bone-chilling encounters with bizarre phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch and other similar locations. "The government doesn't know much more [than the general public]," Dr. Lacatski declares. "There are people that think they know more, but they don't. That this is wide open."
