ASSESSMENT General ASSESSMENT // ALEXANDER ATP NIDS LANL Also: John Alexander, Alexander ATP, Alexander LANL non-lethal, Alexander NIDS science board, Alexander remote viewing, Advanced Theoretical Physics project

01 Executive_Summary

ASSESSMENT: Retired Army Colonel John B. Alexander (born 1937) organized the FIRST known informal government UFO study group with compartmented program access. CAREER: Private (1956) -> Colonel of Infantry (1988). Special Forces 'A' Teams in Vietnam/Thailand (1966-1969). Director, Advanced System Concepts Office, US Army Laboratory Command. ADVANCED THEORETICAL PHYSICS (ATP) PROJECT (1985): Alexander organized informal interagency study group. 'Brought together military officers, intelligence personnel, engineers, defense contacts.' Purpose: 'discuss whether any compartmented government program possessed definitive UFO-related material or knowledge.' 'Insured no paper trail existed that could be traced by outsiders.' 'Briefed many senior officials.' PREDATES AAWSAP by 23 years, AATIP by 27 years. LOS ALAMOS (late 1980s-mid 1990s): Project Manager Non-Lethal Defense. Areas: acoustic systems, high-power microwaves, non-lethal chemical agents, directed energy. Briefed: White House, NSC, Congress, DCI, German Bundestag. US delegate NATO non-lethal weapons studies. NIDS (1995-2004): Joined Science Advisory Board. 'Recruited out of Los Alamos' by Bigelow. Assembled 17-person board (DOE, Navy nuclear, Apollo astronauts). OTHER: President IANDS (near-death studies). Founding board member International Remote Viewer's Association (connects to SRI/Puthoff STAR GATE). Doctoral work under Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. President's Award from Reagan. Book: 'UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities' (2011). CRITICAL: ATP (1985) found NO single integrated program = scattered compartmented efforts = 'stove-piping' (Elizondo's term). LANL connection = same lab as FRC fusion + Davis/Corbell 'DOE links.' Remote Viewing connection = Puthoff/SRI/STAR GATE.
