Puthoff at SRI (1972-1995): CIA/DIA remote viewing (Stargate) — 50-year UAP physics career from SRI to AAWSAP to TTSA
Stanford PhD. SRI 1972. Remote viewing with Targ. 1974 Nature paper. Stargate program. 38 DIRDs for AAWSAP. Vacuum/metric engineering. BAASS Science Director. TTSA co-founder. 50-year career.
uap-researchVallée develops Control System Theory (1970s): UAP as meta-system of communication, not just 'visitors from another star'
Most influential UAP theoretical framework. Control system for human consciousness. Meta-system of communication. Adapts to culture. Open or closed? Six-layer model with Davis.
uap-researchSoviet SETKA UFO Investigation Program Established
The Soviet Union established a standing military order to investigate UFO sightings, controlled by Military Unit 73790. This program would evolve through multiple codenames and eventually spawn the Thread-3 reverse-engineering initiative whose four-domain framework would be replicated by the American AAWSAP DIRDs 30 years later.
programAlexander organizes ATP group (1985): first informal interagency UFO study — no paper trail, briefed White House/NSC/CIA
Army Colonel organized interagency UFO study group. Military + intelligence + engineers. No paper trail. Briefed senior officials. Predates AAWSAP by 23 years. Found no single program = stove-piping.
uap-researchSoviet Thread-3 Reverse-Engineering Program Begins
Thread-3 was the Soviet Union's sophisticated reverse-engineering initiative, formally tasked against four domains that would later be replicated exactly by the American AAWSAP DIRDs. The program concluded July 18, 1991, with 12 technical attachments that were never recovered by Western intelligence.
programThread-3 Documents Smuggled to DIA
Thread-3 documents were smuggled out of Russia in 1993 and reached the DIA, providing the foundation for the American AAWSAP program that would be established 14 years later.
programBigelow founds NIDS + buys Skinwalker (1995-96): hotel billionaire creates private UAP research foundation, seeds AAWSAP
Budget Suites billionaire. NIDS (1995). Skinwalker Ranch $200K (1996). Bigelow Aerospace (1999). Genesis I/II. BEAM on ISS. 'Real estate to fund space.' NIDS → BAASS → AAWSAP pipeline.
uap-researchEric Davis AFRL Advanced Propulsion Study (Sept 2004): gravity/inertia modification, spacetime metric modification, vacuum energy — 10 years before Trivergence
AFRL-PR-ED-TR-2004-0024. Davis studied gravity modification, spacetime metrics, vacuum energy for AFRL. 5 promising concepts. 10 years before Trivergence (2014). Davis later = AAWSAP science advisor.
uap-researchAAWSAP biological effects mandate (2008-2012): medical, physiological, psychological, paranormal data — largest UAP database
AAWSAP uniquely collected UAP effects on people. Kelleher (biochemist, DoD biodefense) led operations. 50 investigators, 30K pages. Missing link to Nolan brain damage research.
uap-researchReid secures $22M for AAWSAP (July 2008): originally to SCIF-out Bigelow for classified materials, confirms Lockheed Martin
Senate Majority Leader + Inouye + Stevens. $22M for SCIF at Bigelow to receive classified UAP materials. Reid confirms Lockheed. SAP requests blocked twice. Opposition from existing programs.
uap-researchAAWSAP/BAASS (2008-2010): $22M DIA program, 50 scientists, Skinwalker 'living lab,' 100+ reports — largest US UFO investigation
$22M DIA program. BAASS contractor. 50 scientists. 100+ reports. Skinwalker Ranch living lab. All 5 DIA personnel experienced anomalies. Harry Reid funded. Lacatski + Stratton + Kelleher architects.
uap-researchReid Senate AAWSAP funding (2008-2010): $22M earmark with Inouye + Stevens, SAP request, Bigelow connection, John Glenn suggestion
Senate Majority Leader. $10M + $12M = $22M. Inouye (President pro tempore, Medal of Honor). Stevens (President pro tempore). Both WWII veterans. SAP request June 2009. Bigelow $10K+ contributions. John Glenn suggestion. 12 technical areas.
