James Lacatski's ranch visit and the Pentagon money
DIA official James Lacatski read Hunt for the Skinwalker, visited the ranch and reported an experience there, which helped bring Senators Harry Reid and Ted Stevens to fund a $22 million UAP study.

The account
According to the Wikipedia account, Bigelow relayed Lacatski's experience to his friend Reid, and Reid and Stevens added a line to the defense budget. The program, later known as AAWSAP and AATIP, began in the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2007. Lacatski later co-wrote Skinwalkers at the Pentagon.
The sceptical view
Robert Sheaffer notes that Lacatski is the only person firmly known to have run the program, and that little of substance seems to have come from the ranch work.
