Hi Reader,

Jay Stratton ran the government's UAP investigations for years. In his new memoir, Out of the Shadows, he becomes the witness: at 4 a.m. on March 12, 2014, he says something stood outside his window, looking at his sleeping son.

Our new film takes his account seriously and follows it from the Pentagon to Skinwalker Ranch to his own home.

THREE THINGS WORTH NOTICING

1. Stratton is careful about what he saw himself versus what his family told him. That distinction matters.
2. "Cleared for publication" by the Pentagon means the book doesn't reveal classified information. It isn't a government endorsement of the claims.
3. The Gimbal video is real Navy footage, but it doesn't corroborate the personal accounts. We show it for context.

ONE QUESTION FOR YOU

If you could get independent evidence for just one part of Stratton's story (the window, the ranch, or the home), which would you pick? Hit reply; I read every one.
