Popular Mechanics claims Jay Stratton led a classified mission using nuclear submarines to lure in UAP — but the article never verified that.
“It was an efficient expedition and our strategy was built on our educated opinion that UAP were drawn to nuclear energy. Our bait ****could**** be a nuclear submarine. Its reactor running hot ****would**** create a huge nuclear signature, and it ****would**** suffice as a pre-selected area within US waters known for past UAP activity. The goal, exploit a decades-old pattern. Draw a UAP close enough to monitor, track, or if possible, capture or recover.”
Important notes:
- Let’s start with the mentioning of a classified operation as sensitive as U.S. nuclear submarines being used. This would not be possible to mention in Jay Stratton’s (
@jaystratton) book as he would have had to have gone through the DOPSR process. Any mention of classified material, operations, or information that could lead to the confirmation of operations, missions, tactics, strategy, etc. would be caught and removed, potentially reported as well. If the book mentions it and it was allowed, that gives more credibility to the claim being not classified, therefore not factual.
- Then there is the notion that someone like Stratton, which was the supposed “Director” of of previous task force(s) that investigated UAP, would be the decision maker on putting extremely sensitive assets like nuclear submarines in mission with Navy personnel onboard, spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars just to summon in UAP (aka drones,satellites, and other ISR capabilities), putting sensitive capabilities in the views of adversary ISR assets to track, monitor, and examine the submarines capabilities and SOPs, is EXTREMELY unlikely. This isn’t how military operations work. You don’t use sensitive systems such as nuclear submarines as bait, risking the uncovering of technological capabilities and movements of such assets.
- This article, written by Elizabeth Rayne, wouldn’t be able to verify any of Stratton’s claims and it’s just nothing more than a highlight reel (if you call it that) of unverifiable claims made by Stratton in his book, again which is cleared by DOPSR (not an authority of factual information; just a watchdog to ensure no classified information is leaked), and like Stratton, can’t be taken serious.
