Former Government UFO Investigator Confirms that the US Possesses Craft of Unknown Origin

Dr. James Lacatski is a respected physicist who has worked both in aerospace and for the US Government. He not only served as an Intelligence Officer in Missile Defense at the Defense Intelligence Agency, but was promoted into the top leadership position at the Advanceed Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), which was tasked with the study and understanding of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) - more commonly known as UFOs.

Lacatski is now the co-author of a new book on the topic: Inside the US Government Covert UFO Program: Initial Revelations. At the beginning of the 9th chapter of the book, entitled “DIRD Research Goals”, the text reads:

At the conclusion of a 2011 meeting in the Capitol building with a U.S. Senator and an agency Under Secretary, Lacatski, the only one of this book’s authors present, posed a question. He stated that the United States was in possession of a craft of unknown origin and had successfully gained access to its interior. This craft had a streamlined configuration suitable for aerodynamic flight but no intakes, exhaust, wings, or control surfaces. In fact, it appeared not to have an engine, fuel tanks, or fuel. Lacatski asked: What was the purpose of this craft? Was it a life-support craft useful only for atmospheric reentry or what? If it was a spacecraft, then how did it operate?

The book immediately moves beyond this bomb-drop to discuss “performance characteristics” of “observed UAP/UFO designs” such as various forms of possible propulsion, alteration of space/time, etc. No further detail on the craft claimed to be in the possession of the US Government is revealed.

In a podcast this week with documentary filmmaker and UAP disclosure advocate Jeremy Corbell, Lacatski (who appeared with his co-author, Dr. Colm Kelleher), confirmed this text. An excerpt, as transcribed by Christopher Sharp of Liberation Times:

Speaking about the above passage within the book, Lacatski confirmed:

"What's in the book is an exact statement of the event that occurred in the congressional facility.”

Corbell put the following question to Lacatski:

“You told us because you were allowed to tell us that our government has a UFO in its possession and has been able to access the inside of it, right?”

Lacatski responded:

“Yes, I was allowed to tell you.”

[…]

When asked by Corbell whether he had entered the craft described within the book, Lacatski responded, "I can't answer that."

Later in the interview, Corbell offered Lacatski an opportunity to dispute the implication that he had seen and stepped inside the craft; Lacatski declined the offer.

Referring to the meeting with a Senator described in the book as having taken place within the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C., Lacatski said:

"There was more to it. Considerably more to that discussion about what the situation was."

When pressed to speak further about the meeting, Lacatski declined, stating he would go no further than what was approved in the book by the Department of Defense (DoD), citing fears that it would provide information to U.S. enemies:

"We are surrounded, but hopefully not so, by our enemies."

He added:

"You can be sure they're listening to this show right now."

Another reason for the secrecy Lacatski cited was that he wished to follow the rules:

"We follow the rules, and there's a good reason. A good reason to follow."

He was unable to provide any answer as to what that reason was, although Lacatski claimed that he saw no dark reason to conceal the truth.

In fact, Lacatski asserted that there is no reason for humanity to fear potential non-human intelligence, provided that the human species discovers its full capabilities, stating:

"If full human capabilities were known to us right now, it is not something that we need to fear."

He added:

"Our capabilities have never been fully revealed. And we're still learning; we've got a long way to evolve still."

[…]

Despite citing national security reasons, Lacatski was unable to state whether UAP presented a direct threat to national security. 

Kelleher, who was also present and being interviewed by Corbell and Knapp, was able to provide context, stating that not enough data existed to provide a firm assessment:

"Without data on intent, you cannot make the case that these objects are a threat to national security; what you can say is that they are a threat to human health."

A lot of cryptic stuff in here. Like an old episode of Art Bell’s radio show. But Lacatski isn’t some kook; he’s got a doctorate in Nuclear Engineering — he’s a literal rocket scientist — and was cleared to handle some of the most sensitive program information during his work in the government. Nothing about his demeanor in the interview indicates he’s lost the plot. (The book itself, on a quick skim, frankly reads like it was written by an engineer. It’s highly technical.)

We’ve been hearing for a while that in the wake of David Grusch’s testimony, more insiders would be coming forward. This revelation, though short on details, nevertheless feels significant.
