Inside the US Government Covert UFO Program: Initial Revelations
“Initial Revelations” digs deeply into the behind-the-scenes activity of the biggest and most far-reaching United States Government covert UFO program in history. The Pentagon’s landmark UFO study ran from the Defense intelligence Agency (DIA) in Washington, D.C., and was executed by Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies in Las Vegas, Nevada.Quote from this “At the conclusion of a 2011 meeting in the Capitol building with a U.S. Senator and an agency Under Secretary, Lacatski, the only one of this book’s authors present, posed a question. He stated that the United States was in possession of a craft of unknown origin and had successfully gained access to its interior. This craft had a streamlined configuration suitable for aerodynamic flight but no intakes, exhaust, wings, or control surfaces. In fact, it appeared not to have an engine, fuel tanks, or fuel. Lacatski What was the purpose of this craft? Was it a life-support craft useful only for atmospheric reentry or what? If it was a spacecraft, then how did it operate”? The authors reveal the deep commitment to physics and engineering of the United States Government- contracted UFO researchers as they sought to answer Lacatski’s seminal questions.

In-Depth Look at Sci-fi becoming Reality
This book is a follow-up of sorts to the groundbreaking "Skinwalkers at the Pentagon" which opened the doors for a public look at the US Government's UFO (or UAP, as they are now called) programme - AAWSAP.
The authors include two of the programme's leaders and an investigative journalist. It contains some fascinating stories, and a ton of facts.
While those with a deep interest in UFO's will find this book interesting, it is filled with very deep, and at times, hard and heavy theoretical science behind how these UFOs may travel our Universe and how they might power themselves.
While the details in this book are remarkable (and probably unbelievable to closed minded skeptics) this is NOT a Sci-fi book. Nor is it based on conspiracy theory. This is documentation of a real and significant US government project that in the months and years to come will, I suspect, be a part of the most amazing story in human history.

In terms of enjoyable UFO book to read, this one rates low. Chapters are disjointed and often random jumps into different topic áreas.
What makes this book compelling is its semi official status. Dr. Lacatski got everything in the book cleared to publish from classifying agencies. Of course, them clearing it is not an endorsement of it's truthfulness. But Dr. Lacatski is employed by the government. His role can be verified. And he was employed when he published Skinwalkers at the Pentágon. Also provocative.
In this work, Dr. Lacatski outlines attempts of varying degrees of success by our government to research the UFO Phenomena from all relevant scientific lens's. He states that the government is in possession of a "novel craft" that has no clear means of propulsión. He explored and studied the interior. He also makes many other claims, including that a simple device was developed that can detect and anticipate UFOs.
Separately and not mentioned in this book, David Grusch is claimed to have worked on a unit that detected UFOs and he had his own first hand experiences he has not yet testified on.
While this book is boring because of the lack of narrative or analysis, it is straightforward in making clear Big claims that are world changing if true.

Difficulty Understanding
Even with George Knapp involved in the process this book is full of dynamic scientific evidence but unless you have at least a bachelor's degree in physics and engineering IT will be difficult to follow. Go slow and read in chunks otherwise don't bother.

Written for a physicist
Have had almost a lifetime interest in UFOs, watching many documentaries and reading several books on the subject. So I was very much drawn to this book when I saw it here in the Kindle store, especially when I saw George Knapp's name as one of the authors as I consider him to be one of the most knowledgeable and forthright journalists in this field.
I was disappointed with the book, however, because much of it is written not for a layperson but for someone who is experienced and knowledgeable about physics and propulsion systems and theories about such things. I found myself glazing over when trying to read it and skipping much of the material, especially the lengthy appendices at the back of the book.
There were some interesting accounts of UFO/UAP encounters in the book that I hadn't heard of before like the several years of incidents that had happened in Brazil. Very interesting stuff and the authors also told of several other incidents that had happened back in 2008. So it wasn't all technical stuff, just more than I think most people would find useful and interesting.

This book is a justification for why the fake organization AAWSAP received 22 million tax payer dollars to hunt aliens and ghosts.
Quote from book about objective of the program: "supervise the development and execution of a science plan to develop and test, as practicable, scientific theories."
And their science plan has the whole country fooled.
They made sure that the book was written to be boring enough to keep people from really looking into it, but scientific enough to seem legitimate

Not as spooky or shocking as Skinwalkers at the Pentagon? So at times a little dry but fascinating all the same. There is a fair bit of science stuff in it which takes a bit of nutting out for those of us non scientific types but it is satisfying all the same. Answering in many cases, how are they doing this? And pulls up lots of food for thought on the who and the why.
If you are seriously interested in UAP, this is a must read.

Detailed, largely complete accounting of the AAWSAP UFO Project!!!
This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in UFOs. Wanna know kW what we learned with the largest publicly acknowledged funded Federal UFO Program? Its here.
How the UAP gravity bubble works? Same same.
Did you want to read the actual Tic-Tac analysis from 2008? Its here, along with deep descriptions of the rest of the first half of AAWSAP.
Well written, lots great info.

Informative first look
Now that our government is beginning to take the wraps off of the no longer secret I DO program we are beginning to learn what was found and denied for more than half a century.

I keep reading that this book is difficult to understand. I'm as thick as a plank and I understood it all just fine. It's a great book and I knew it would be because the legendary George Knapp was involved. Essential reading for people who rightly question the official narrative

A few interesting spots but overall a bit too much filler in the non UAP sections. Previous book in the trilogy was better. Would love to have access to this massive database referenced in the book.

One of the two most definitive books, in my opinion, on UAP and non-human intelligence Enjoy!
