Steve Justice (Skunk Works Director → TTSA Co-Founder)
01 Executive_Summary
ASSESSMENT: Steve Justice, former Skunk Works director, co-founded To The Stars Academy (TTSA) in October 2017 with Hal Puthoff, Luis Elizondo, Christopher Mellon, and Jim Semivan. This creates a DIRECT link between Skunk Works and the UAP research community. TTSA 'blending media, science, and aerospace' — launched with team whose 'backgrounds in CIA, DoD, and Skunk Works altered how mainstream outlets framed UAP.' TTSA created the ADAM project to 'acquire and test' materials and announced an R&D agreement with the U.S. Army. JUSTICE + PUTHOFF + CHASE = three Skunk Works-connected figures in the UAP research network. Justice (Skunk Works director) -> TTSA. Chase (RTP founder) -> NSF speaker. Puthoff (AAWSAP) -> TTSA + NSF speaker. The Skunk Works-UAP connection is not speculative — it is documented through multiple personnel links.

uap-researchElizondo under oath (Nov 2024): 'U.S. has UAP technologies,' crash retrieval programs, reverse-engineering 'alien craft'
Under-oath testimony: UAP real, U.S. has UAP tech, crash retrieval YES, reverse-engineering YES, multi-decade arms race, hidden from Congress.
uap-researchMellon testifies (Sept 2025): AARO report 'most error-ridden,' 'omitted entire agencies,' 'omitted efforts to hide classified info'
Mellon (DASD Intelligence, TTSA, Disclosure Foundation): AARO report error-ridden, omitted agencies, omitted classified info, no DNI sign-off. Supports classified program hypothesis.
