Lacatski, Kelleher & Knapp, 'Skinwalkers at the Pentagon'

Insider account of the Pentagon-funded AAWSAP program by its former manager James Lacatski, scientist Colm Kelleher and journalist George Knapp.

The account

The book describes how a Defense Intelligence Agency contract funded a Las Vegas company to study UFOs and paranormal events, including at Skinwalker Ranch, and was cleared through Defense Department prepublication review. A 2023 book by the same authors, 'Inside the US Government Covert UFO Program: Initial Revelations', continues the account.

The sceptical view

Prepublication clearance does not certify accuracy; critics say the program's paranormal focus shows credulity, and the ranch events remain anecdotal.
