interview · NewsNation (CUOMO) · Original source
Promoting his memoir Out of the Shadows, former UAP Task Force director Jay Stratton told NewsNation's CUOMO that he personally saw a non-human being at his home. It is his own, unverified account: neither the interview nor the article cites another witness or record of the sighting. The full interview is filed with timestamped moments.
Facts and claims
- claimed Interviewed on NewsNation's CUOMO, Stratton said that early one morning at his Washington, D.C.-area home he saw “this humanoid-looking creature … looking at my son through the window”, with a “very large head, very small black eyes, very small nose — if it had one — and a small slit for a mouth.” He said he went after it, but “By the time I stepped outside, it was completely gone.” — Jay Stratton Source: newsnationnow.com (archived)
- claimed According to NewsNation, Stratton says such encounters began in the 2010s, years after he started investigating UAP for the Pentagon. He supports the theory that a secretive “legacy” program holds non-human technology in competition with other nations, and said “the country that wins that race is the superpower for the next hundred years”. — Jay Stratton Source: newsnationnow.com (archived)
