James Lacatski is a former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst and missile defense expert specializing in advanced aerospace threats. He is best known for conceptualizing and managing the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program, the precursor to subsequent Pentagon UAP studies. Lacatski's key contribution was securing the initial funding to study the aerospace and physiological implications of UAP, including high-strangeness incidents at the Skinwalker Ranch. He co-authored a publication claiming that the United States government has gained access to the interior of an anomalous craft of unknown origin. His work represents one of the most highly funded and expansive government-sponsored investigations into anomalous phenomenology in modern history.
