01 Definition

Former Skunk Works Program Director for Advanced Systems who transitioned to private anomalous aerospace and materials research initiatives.

02 Detailed_Analysis

Steve Justice is an aerospace engineer who served for over three decades at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, eventually leading the Advanced Systems Development division. Following his retirement from Lockheed, he co-founded To The Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences (TTSA) in 2017 as Director of Aerospace Division, overseeing the Acquisition and Data Analysis of Materials (ADAM) project and establishing a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command.

03 Key_Facts

Overview

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.

Entity Type: Assessment — Steve Justice (Skunk Works Director → TTSA Co-Founder) is an analytical assessment synthesizing multiple data points.
