Author, researcher. Pop culture, science, & history. Bylines @esquire, @NewRepublic, @CNN, @Slate, etc. My new book, "Jimmy," about James Dean out now!

@MickSeagull @19k0011 I'm both in the database as an author and widely cited by PhDs in their own research. A couple of books were even inspired by my work. EBSCO is available at libraries. You can visit one at your convenience.

Jay Stratton's book deal was brokered by the same film director that organized Lue Elizondo's book deal, Dan Farah, who by total coincidence optioned Stratton's book for a TV series. The publisher is owned by the Murdochs, who also own Fox News, which promotes UFO fantasies.

I’m excited to announce my memoir, Out of the Shadows, will be published by HarperCollins in North America on October 13, 2026. In the book, I break my silence to reveal everything I legally can about my investigations of UAP and non-human intelligent life on behalf of the U.S Government and the profound impact my work had on me and my family. We are at a turning point in human history and I am proud to play a role in opening the public’s eyes to the truth and bringing about long overdue disclosure.

The Archdiocese of Washington removed Stephen Rossetti as an exorcist following his social media claim that UFOs are flying demons, saying Rossetti contradicted the Church's teachings on demonic entities. https://t.co/FsqSwZzqmQ

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

@19k0011 He asked for that information.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

According to Benjamin D. Crace, writing in Pacific Coast Philology in 2022, evangelicals embraced the interdimensional hypothesis, quietly equating the other dimension with the demonic spiritual realm, a conclusion we now see government ufologists of a Christian bent publicizing.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

I am surprised that the "UFOs are demons" hypothesis, first expressed in the 1950s, didn't really take hold until the 1990s, when Pat Robertson and Hal Lindsey both endorsed it. In 1994's "Planet Earth--2000 A.D.," Lindsey brought the claim to the evangelical mainstream.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

Nothing ever changes, and the same claims circulating among 1950s evangelicals are now circulating among today's government-affiliated evangelicals.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

From the Christian “Defender Magazine,” in the early 1950s, on UFOs: “THE METHOD USED IN RELEASING INFORMATION SUGGESTS A PLAN TO CONDITION GRADUALLY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR THE MOST SHOCKING AND TERRIFYING ANNOUNCEMENT THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN … WHEN THE TIME SEEMS RIPE.”

@MickSeagull @19k0011 You can go to EBSCO and see all of the professors who approvingly cite my work. You can go to Google Books and see the books that name-check me. I was also a key talking head for UFO documentaries on ZDF and the Discovery Networks.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

Interestingly, it took another two years before Walter Vinson "W.V." Grant Sr. became the first evangelical to write that UFOs were Satan's demons, in his 1954 pamphlet "Men in Flying Saucers Identified."

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

The earliest published evangelical response to UFOs was a 1952 pamphlet by Orval Lee Jaggers called "Flying Saucers!" which concluded that UFOs were cherubim flying through the sky to warn of God's coming judgment.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

@MickSeagull @19k0011 Keep on moving the goalposts. I am a journalist and writer, for which I have sufficient experience and knowledge to cover those topics. Unlike the pretended autodidacts in ufology, I know when to talk to specialists for expert analysis.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

"Network" happens to be one of my favorite movies, and I'm not sure Corbell, who is likening himself to Howard Beale, has any idea that Beale was legitimately mentally ill.

Tonight i will be making an announcement on X. I will give you 24 hours notice of a point in TIME-SPACE in the Los Angeles area for TOMORROW - where YOU can (and should) come, to share a moment with me and George Knapp - in person and important. You will be invited to join WITH us - for a VERY unique and personal event (and interrogation).

PAY ATTENTION 👁️

This WILL be DEEP. Limited attendance. So be ready for details coming tonight - for tomorrow. Got it?

You’ve done been told (or told at least part of it for now) 😉🫡

Love, from your brother in discovery and the fight for clarity, Mister 5Name (as apparently, I’m now called)

@MickSeagull @19k0011 Yes, my book "The Mound Builder Myth" was published by the University of Oklahoma and was peer-reviewed. I've also published pieces in a number of academic anthologies. You can check any scholarly database to see how often my work has been cited.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

@25trillionmiles I didn't design the cover. It is partly about ancient astronauts, but that isn't the same as ufology.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

@MickSeagull @19k0011 @uncertainvector I implied that the public can take pictures with their phone cameras, but we don't have any convincing images.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

@MickSeagull @19k0011 @uncertainvector I do not. I think you have me confused with someone else. I don't claim any expertise in military systems and do not offer any "expert" analysis of their technical output.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

@bhulenpazzen It's more the shape than the flavor that's off-putting for me! I like cheese noodles and vegetables, so I'm sure it tastes fine!

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

Brussels Sprout Noodle Mold, 1971.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

@MickSeagull @19k0011 You realize, I suppose, that I don't write about military radar. I write about mythology, literature, history, and sociology/anthropology, for which I am qualified. There is no deception involved, unlike, say, Ryan Graves, who falsely implies being a UFO witness.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

@25trillionmiles I have never written a UFO book.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

@MickSeagull @19k0011 No, your point is that I am "grifting," which implies making a profit, or substantial compensation. I have always been open about exactly how much UFO articles have paid, unlike your ufology friends, who hide their compensation like it's a dead alien in a government warehouse.
