Jay Stratton Said Disclosure Is Coming - I Was There
Main summary
Key takeaways
Overview
The video centers on an author/creator’s account of attending a talk by Jay Stratton—an ex–Pentagon UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) Task Force director—and on Stratton’s claims about an imminent “disclosure” of alleged non-human intelligence.
Jay Stratton’s Main Claims (as attributed in the video)
-
“Disclosure is coming.” Stratton tells a packed, note-taking audience that the U.S. government has withheld evidence of non-human intelligence for ~80 years.
-
The phenomenon is allegedly much older. He claims the presence has been here for thousands of years, implying an enduring origin rather than a recent development.
-
A scientific/paradigm shift is expected. Once disclosure happens, the public’s understanding of space, time, propulsion, and energy will change.
-
Definition/labeling authority. Stratton says he helped define “extraterrestrials” in a way he frames as not from this time/place/space (i.e., not a conventional “alien visitation” model).
-
U.S. political direction and release timeline. He asserts that Trump and Marco Rubio want the information released, and that only one organization is complying while others are “slow rolling” it.
-
Crash retrieval / reverse engineering program (linked to memoir content). The creator connects Stratton’s broader thesis to his memoir and related material, describing an alleged hidden program that has been covering up the existence of non-human intelligent life for decades.
Evidence Discussed or Suggested
The “Gimbal” case (Pentagon / U.S. Navy; filmed 2015, public 2020)
- The creator notes that publicly available footage shows only about 34 seconds, but audio suggests multiple objects (described as “a whole fleet”) moving against wind conditions.
- They reference pilot Lt. Ryan Graves, who described 4–6 objects on radar in formation—beyond what the camera visibly captured.
- A counterpoint is mentioned: the “fleet” language may refer to a cluster of common radar returns (e.g., drones). The creator does not make a definitive judgment and leaves evaluation to the audience.
Stratton’s claim of three U.S. anomaly locations
- Stratton allegedly states there are three places with comparable activity, with Skinwalker Ranch being one.
- He claims investigators have “boots on the ground” at the other two, though he does not name them during the talk.
The Creator’s “Digging” and Possible Location Links
Using a declassified document (“Kona Blue”), the creator argues the government historically connected multiple areas to anomalous activity.
Kona Blue (2011–2012)
- Described as a proposal (not funded) under DHS for a deeper classified program investigating recovered tech and anomalous activity.
- The creator claims Kona Blue contains a buried page listing three locations:
- Skinwalker / Bigelow Ranch (Utah)
- San Luis Valley (Colorado) (the creator notes “San Juan Valley” appears in the text but may be an interpretation)
- Marley’s Woods (Missouri)
Important caveat
The creator emphasizes that Kona Blue was never approved, so the document does not prove federal agents are active at these sites today—only that, on paper, the government connected the areas historically.
Speculation beyond Kona Blue (not proven by the document)
The creator further speculates additional possibilities:
- Dugway Proving Ground (Utah), described as having ties in UFO-sighting cluster analyses.
- The “Alaska Triangle,” with references to disappearances and a story about an aircraft disappearance with no wreckage.
Broader Narrative Frame (Speculative)
The video uses Stratton’s claims to build a “storyteller’s” timeline hypothesis:
- Roswell (1947) as a potential starting point for the alleged ~80-year window.
- Trinity atomic test (1945) is mentioned as a possible pattern involving anomalous activity around nuclear/military infrastructure.
The creator then frames a central question: whether disclosure could be driven by
- “Us” (the U.S. government choosing to disclose now), or
- “Them” (non-human entities timing or forcing disclosure),
leading to the rhetorical question: who initiates disclosure and why now?
Ending Position and Tone
- The creator offers no definitive proof, explicitly admitting skepticism and uncertainty.
- They claim only that Stratton had access to high-level classified information (as documented).
- The ending includes a light anecdote attributed to Stratton: disclosure will be a brief disruption rather than a total catastrophe (joking about the stock market).
