"'Initial Revelations' is the follow up book to 'Skinwalkers at the Pentagon' and 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 book: '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 asked: 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"--Page 4 of cover.
