“I can literally still see that video in my head,” Stratton recalls in this week’s issue of PEOPLE.
In the clip, he says, was what looked like a black triangular craft with orange, white and yellow lights glowing on each corner. It moved silently before seeming to defy the laws of physics by accelerating faster than the eye could follow — and was gone.
“That,” says Stratton, “was the moment that changed my world.”

No. I’m a pilot. Planes do not need landing lights. They need runway lighting. As a matter of fact, your night landings are much better without using landing lights. The landing lights help for your plane to be seen by the tower and other traffic in the air and on the ground.
I have no idea what these things are, either, but have seen structured craft - discs, not triangles - on two separate occasions performing moves that would crush a pilot. Maybe the black triangles are "our" reversed engineered things. I never saw one, but plenty of credible people have seen, tracked, and photographed them. (Belgian Wave from the 90's for example) Definitive proof? Nope. But absolutely a data point in a large body of testimony and evidence that, by analogy, would convict a person in a criminal court.
It's fun to speculate, but rather pointless to discuss or engage on this topic with skeptics.
“Yes, an advanced civilization wanting to visit Earth? It’s as though I would spend my yearly family vacation in Compton.”
Post of the day—well done.

Thanks for your intelligent response.
I know. The term “landing lights” is an anachronism from the era before runway lighting became routine.
No Sonic boom?
Probably not real. Maybe aliens have figured out a way to move air from in front of a vehicle to behind it without making a sonic boom, but I think that is unlikely.
Yeah, like going faster than the speed of sound without leaving a sonic boom.

. . .We’ve been here before. Two former Defense Department officials, Luis “Lue” Elizondo and Christopher Mellon, came forward a few years ago to expose what they deemed a government cover-up of UFOs.
Now the Securities and Exchange Commission is apparently poised to initiate a fraud investigation of the company they helped launch in 2017, To the Stars Academy of Arts and Sciences (TTSA), following its multimillion-dollar pleas for investment. The potential for an investigation is also driven by concerns raised in an extensive whistleblower complaint by a skeptic, as well as the substance of a previous SEC lawsuit against the company that was aborted in 2019. (Documents relating to this lawsuit have been obtained by The Washington Spectator.)
TTSA made a host of pseudoscientific claims following its public launch with a news conference in October 2017—while seeking $50 million in investment. Among them: executives promised to build a Star Trek–style spaceship to travel “instantly” through the cosmos. This project was based in part, they claimed in solicitations to investors, on (nonexistent) warp-drive technology—“reverse-engineered” from likely alien materials recovered from crashed UFOs. The company’s CEO, Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge, even declared: “I have alien artifacts.”
Prominent among the proponents of such far-fetched claims were those former influential DOD officials, Elizondo and Mellon, both of whom had joined DeLonge’s company. These same individuals laid the groundwork for the UFO media firestorm that began at the end of 2017, new defense legislation that was passed in December 2021, and Senate hearings held this past April. These developments in turn effectively nurtured the bonanza of publicity and congressional interest that have greeted David Grusch’s purported revelations. . .
Earlier this year, in yet another addition to the dizzying parade of government officials with extraterrestrial tales, Jay Stratton, a former Naval Intelligence officer who led that same UAP task force, went public with his own faith in the likely alien origins of UFOs.
Stratton has been outed by a debunking New York Post video reporter, Steven Greenstreet, as the anonymous Pentagon official in a new book, Skinwalkers at the Pentagon. The Stratton character (whose name in the book is Jonathan Axelrod) claims that he and his family were “infected” and terrorized by a poltergeist-like “hitchhiker” and other creatures, which followed him to his home in Northern Virginia from the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. (Stratton himself hasn’t disputed the portrayal of him in the book as “Axelrod.”). . .
Yes.
And then crashing? And exposing themselves without contact?
Sure.
I’ve heard this since the 70s.
I too lived under a flight path into DFW.
They do like like they hover when entering the path. Could set a watch seeing them pop up. Around 90 seconds each time.
We were watching them once because as they got closer they flew over us. Then we heard a huge BOOM sound. You could see smoke to the north. Turned out to be the Delta flight that got wind sheared to the ground. Around 1986 or 87.
Starship Searchaplexus, on K-Pax has a mission briefing on their 40 million light year mission to Earth departure, and they have to halt launch because they cannot see their surroundings once they approach to land???
Wavelengths of Visible Light
The visible light spectrum consists of wavelengths that the human eye can perceive, ranging from approximately 380 to 700 nanometers (nm).
Color Breakdown by Wavelength The following table outlines the specific colors associated with different ranges of wavelengths within the visible spectrum:
Color Wavelength Range (nm)
Violet 380 - 450
Blue 450 - 485
Green 485 - 500
Yellow 500 - 565
Orange 565 - 625
Red 625 - 700
Key Points
Violet has the shortest wavelength at around 380 nm. Red has the longest wavelength at about 700 nm. The visible spectrum is continuous, meaning there are no sharp boundaries between colors; they blend into one another.
Understanding these wavelengths is essential for various applications, including lighting design, color theory, and visual perception studies.

I remember that crash. If I recall correctly, the pilots followed the rule book but the book was wrong about wind shear risk.
