Robert Bigelow (BAASS)
Provided the industrial and secure contractor infrastructure for DIA-sponsored anomalous studies.
01 Definition
02 Detailed_Analysis
Robert T. Bigelow is a real estate and aerospace entrepreneur who founded Bigelow Aerospace and Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS). From 2008 to 2012, BAASS secured a $22 million Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) contract under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP) to evaluate advanced propulsion, breakthrough physics, anomalous craft cases, and physiological impacts on personnel.
03 Key_Facts

Bigelow (BAASS)
Purpose: Robert Bigelow — BAASS phase; aerospace contractor for UAP studies Category: Key Figure Profile This node profiles Bigelow (BAASS), a significant figure in the UAP and advanced aerospace research space. The profile connects to 10 related entities, mapping their role in the disclosure and research network.
Key Relationships
- ← Jacobsen (Area 51) (assessment): Jacobsen's 'Area 51' documents classified aerospace sites. Bigelow's BAASS operates in the same classified aerospace ecosystem. Area 51 (government) + BAASS (contractor) = different parts of same classified infrastructure.
- ← Reid (Senate/AAWSAP) (assessment): Reid was 'persuaded in part by Bob Bigelow, friend and fellow Nevadan.' Bigelow contributed $10K+ to Reid campaigns. Reid secured $22M, BAASS received contract. Reid → Bigelow = political-contractor partnership.
- → Vallée (Control System) (assessment): Bigelow's NIDS investigated Skinwalker phenomena (orbs, poltergeist, discarnate entities). Vallée's control system theory = framework for these phenomena. Both study UAP + consciousness dimension.
- → Lacatski (Kona Blue) (assessment): Bigelow escorted Lacatski to Skinwalker Ranch 2007. Lacatski's experience triggered AAWSAP. Bigelow's BAASS won the contract. Bigelow = contractor, Lacatski = government creator. Partnership.
- ← DeLonge (TTSA) (assessment): TTSA and BAASS are both private-sector UAP organizations. BAASS (Bigelow) = government contractor. TTSA (DeLonge) = public-facing. Different eras, same function: private UAP infrastructure.
- → Knapp (LMT-BAASS) (assessment): Knapp interviewed Bigelow about AAWSAP (Mystery Wire). Knapp co-authored books with Kelleher (BAASS deputy). Bigelow-Knapp = source-journalist relationship documenting BAASS.
