BAASS (Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies)

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.

First professional UAP research institute. 17 experts (DOE, Navy nuclear, Apollo astronauts). 9 years funded. Skinwalker Ranch (1996). Foundation of modern UAP research network.

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.

AAWSAP uniquely collected UAP effects on people. Kelleher (biochemist, DoD biodefense) led operations. 50 investigators, 30K pages. Missing link to Nolan brain damage research.

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.

$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.

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.

$22M DIA program. 38 DIRDs. IEC fusion, positron propulsion, warp drive, metamaterials. Puthoff commissioned. Overlaps with CFR timeline (2010-2020).

Front-page NYT. Kean (tip from Elizondo, 15+ years, 2010 bestseller). Blumenthal (45-year veteran, pitched to Baquet, MSNBC materials reveal). Cooper (Pentagon correspondent, Pulitzer). AATIP revealed. $22M. Elizondo. Reid. Bigelow. TTSA videos same day.

Lockheed senior VP told Davis in SCIF about crash retrieval for 2 decades. Since ~2004 (Nimitz year). Predates AAWSAP. Presidents briefed: Nixon, Reagan, Kennedy, Eisenhower.

Lockheed negotiated to transfer unusual materials to BAASS (DIA's AAWSAP contractor). Mid-2000s. Bigelow authorized Knapp to tell Congress. Second Lockheed-UAP materials link.

DIA establishes AAWSAP with $22M funding. Contract awarded to BAASS (Bigelow). 38 DIRDs commissioned covering 12 technical areas including armament and temporal translation. Eric Davis is science advisor. Topics include: Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Fusion, Pulse-Power-Based Weaponry, Traversable Wormholes, Warp Drive, Antigravity, Aneutronic Fusion Propulsion, Vacuum Spacetime Metric Engineering.

DIA publishes RFP HHM402-08-R-0211. The 12 technical areas: Lift, Propulsion, Control, Armament (RF and DEW), Signature Reduction, Materials, Configuration/Structure, Power Generation, Spatial/Temporal Translation, Human Effects, Human Interface, Technology Integration. Armament and Spatial/Temporal Translation explicitly listed. Sole bidder BAASS awarded September 2008. $22M total funding.

The DIA completes FOIA-0159-2018 (Black Vault, filed 2018-01-31 within 48h of Eric Davis's Coast-to-Coast confirmation), releasing 37 of the 38 Defense Intelligence Reference Documents. The withheld item #37 is Albertine's SECRET//NOFORN high-energy-laser survey; its unclassified twin (#38) is released. R199 later de-anonymizes all 38 authors via the BAASS inventory cross-walk; R203 accounts the FY10 supplements (twelve delivered = 11 released + 1 SECRET twin).
