Private pilot and military aerospace historian Michael Schratt has lectured across the country on the unique subject of "Mystery Aircraft", and classified propulsion systems buried deep within the military industrial complex.

He has developed a number of contacts who have had first-hand experience dealing with classified “black programs”, including former US Air Force pilots, retired Naval personnel, and aerospace engineers that have maintained a TOP SECRET  SCI  (Sensitive Compart-mented Information)  clearance.

In an effort to expose government fraud, waste and abuse, Michael devotes much of his free time to researching aerospace technical documents, conducting interviews, and traveling to review numerous University archives.  As a concerned citizen, it’s Michael’s belief that it is our Constitutional obligation to question authority, and demand an accounting of special access programs that bypass congressional oversight and public scrutiny.

Michael is the author of the book: DARK FILES - A Pictorial History of Lost, Forgotten and Obscure UFO Encounters, which is  available on Amazon.

He has appeared on dozens of TV shows and Documentaries, including:  The Lost Century, Unacknowledged, Coast to Coast AM, History Channel, UFO Hunters, Ancient Aliens, and Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura.

Michael has given many lectures around the country including at the International UFO Congress, Contact in the Desert, and the “OSHKOSH” AirVenture event -- the world’s largest air show.   His lecture topics include: Retrievals of the Third Kind, UFO Magical Mystery Tour, Inside the Black World, That’s Classified, The Hudson Valley Boomerang, Triangular Evidence, and the Historical Legacy of Gravity Research.
