Batches 8-9 Update (2026-08-18): Complete De-Anonymization + FY10 Accounting + 2035 Floor

All 38 authors de-anonymized (R199): the BAASS 38-item "List of Attachments" cross-walked against all 37 released scans (front-matter OCR of every cover) de-anonymizes every (b)(6) author box. 26 named individuals; weaponization-relevant subset: Wells (pulsed-power/HPM), Albertine (Navy HEL), Winterberg/Miley (nuclear), Macheret/Shvets (plasma), Kit Green (CIA remote-viewing PM), Czysz (Wright-Patt). Title-sanitization map: weapon framing stripped between inventory and release ("Pulse-Power-Based Weaponry" → "…Microwave Source Technology"); the two CapNet-withheld items (inv #12/#15) are the only covers with no DIA number printed. Two-batch chronology: FY09 batch (ICOD 1 Dec 2009) + FY10 "Defense Futures" batch (ICOD Jul 2010–Jan 2011, post-dating contract closeout).

DIRD #3 identity (R185/R193): the 37-page "James Wells, JW Enterprises, 28 January 2010" deliverable IS released DIRD #3 (DIA-08-0912-005, released via FOIA-0159-2018, 25 Mar 2022). Content: open-literature HPM survey (vircator, MILO, relativistic BWO/RKA, FCG/flux-compression, UWB impulse sources, PCSS switching, TEM/IRA antennas) — zero citations to the 1960s cluster; the Wells↔1960s link is institutional (R192), not bibliographic.

FY10 classified supplements accounted (R203): CLIN 1003 = 12 technical reports due Aug 2010; DIA memo U-10-2552 (2010-12-01): twelve delivered = 11 released Defense Futures DIRDs + 1 SECRET//NOFORN Albertine HEL twin. The other 3-5 planned supplements have ZERO trace across five channels (FOIA-0159-2018, MuckRock FOIA-0238-2019, DIA reading room, PURSUE R01-R05, ISCAP). DIRD register gap analysis (R208): 36 sandwiched gaps; FY10 gaps (series 1101-002..022, 1102-006) align with the calibrated ICOD→production-code lag = probable numbered hiding place.

2035 floor (R209/R213): AAWSAP-era auto-declassification is UNOPPOSED by construction — no §3.3(b) exemption filings exist anywhere (Federal Register sweep 1994-2026) and the filing window does not open until 31 Dec 2030. Floor: 31 Dec 2035.

Campaign B Update (R1009-R1010)

Soviet Thread-3 Four-Domain Mapping: The 38 DIRDs replicate the Soviet Thread-3 program's four domains exactly:

  1. Non-traditional propulsion → Warp Drive, Antigravity, Negative Mass Propulsion DIRDs
  2. Rotational gravitation → Superconductors in Gravity Research DIRD
  3. Field-matter interaction → Field Effects on Biological Tissues DIRD
  4. Biological effects → Field Effects on Biological Tissues DIRD

Key Authors:

  • Hal Puthoff: vacuum energy, spacetime engineering
  • Eric Davis: 6 DIRDs (most of any author)
  • Authors asked to extrapolate technology to 2050 and compare with UAP capabilities
