Page i PREFACE Importance of the Work There has been over six decades of intensive activity of advanced aerospace craft in the skies over N orth Am erica and around the w orld. These have been w itnessed, photographed and chased by m ilitary pilots, w itnessed by ground crew s, by com m ercial airline pilots and by thousands of m ilitary and civilian ground based personnel. The im portance of this study lies in the possibility that som e of these advanced aerospace craft m ay represent a threat to the security of the U nited States including its airspace and nuclear facilities. It is thus a very high priority to further our understanding of the physics and engineering feasibility of advanced aerospace w eapon system s applications as they apply to the potential future capabilities of foreign threat system s out to the far term , i.e. from now out through the year 205 0. Appreciation BAASS appreciates the high level of trust that has been bestow ed on the organization by the sponsors/D IA in assigning us w ith the responsibility of furthering our understanding of the physics and engineering feasibility of advanced aerospace w eapons system applications. BAASS understands the sobering im portance and the long term im plications of this project.

The report com prises overview projects that are focused on and include the scope of the final report (due in Septem ber 2009) for the tw elve follow ing areas: (1) Lift, (2) P ropulsion, (3 ) control, (4 ) P ow er G eneration, (5 ) Spatial/Tem poral Translation, (6) M aterials, (7) Configuration/Structure, (8) Signature Reduction (O ptical/IR/RF/Acoustic), (9)Hum an Interface, (10) Hum an effects, (11) Arm am ent (RF and D E W ), and (12) O ther areas in support of 1-11. The P M R addresses a P lan of Action, M ilestones and the com position of BAASS analytical team s for these tw elve technical areas. In num erous places throughout the E arthTech report previously m entioned, aap Person anc| others refer to the need for "exam ining m ore exotic possibilities that m ight account for reports of truly anom alous characteristics of high- perform ance craft of unknow n origin w hose m ode of operation appears to be w ell advanced beyond that presently know n." W ith that in m ind, w e present the P lans of Action and M ilestones in this report com prising nine separate m ajor projects w hich collectively address all tw elve of the technical areas. It should be em phasized that for each of the nine projects, w e envisage extension and expansion into 2010 and 2011. Accordingly, the m ilestones for each of the nine projects described herein should include extensions into 2010, 2011 and beyond. I his information is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or u?ed without prior written consent from the Operating Manager of 8AASS'1 Page 1 The nine m ajor projects are: Project Physics w as m andated by the D IA to study the current research on all tw elve technical areas. E arthtech and its subcontractors w ill deliver approxim ately 24 in depth position papers targeted to tw elve technical areas by July 3 1, 2009. Project Engagement w ill locate and secure sm all geographic areas that experience very frequent displays of advanced aerospace vehicles. The purpose is to directly observe and m easure advanced aerospace vehicle perform ance. Project Cooperation requires the full cooperation betw een the D IA and BAASS and lays out the expected fram ew orks and specifics of this cooperation. This necessitates the help and cooperation from the D IA in assisting BAASS to obtain the high value film , hardw are, relevant m aterials and inform ation that are essential to the successful com pletion of this project. Project Campus w ill seek to stim ulate, m otivate and encourage the senior levels of the academ ic com m unity in the U nited States to seriously study advanced aerospace vehicles and their perform ances. Project Database w ill bring together all existing data from m ultiple separate databases on advanced aerospace vehicle perform ances in the U nited States, and ultim ately in other countries for the past 60 years. This new database w ill be searchable by keyw ords that address all tw elve technical areas. This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used without prior written consent from the O perating M anager of BAA5 5 *1. Page 2 Project Oral History w ill contact and record interview s w ith dozens of highly placed individuals from industry and the m ilitary w ho have had direct know ledge of film evidence, physical m aterial evidence, hardw are itself, biological tissue and other m aterial as they pertain to advanced aerial technology in the U nited States over the past several decades. Project Blue Book Materials w ill obtain the case files and associated trace m aterials w ith the help of D IA of m ultiple high value cases involving advanced aerospace vehicles that w ere never included in P roject Blue Book presum ably because they w ere deem ed too sensitive. Project Northern Tier w ill obtain all the inform ation and case files pertaining to dozens of cases in w hich advanced aerospace vehicles flew over restricted air force bases containing nuclear w eapons, hovered over w eapon storage depots and interfered w ith functional integrity of ICBM m issile system s during the 1960s and 1970s. All of these cases potentially provide evidence of a threat to the national security of the U nited States. Project Colares w ill obtain m aterials and case files, w ith help from the D IA, from an extensive series of advanced aerospace incidents, m any of w hich caused death and injury to indigenous inhabitants, occurring on Colares Island in the N orthern area of Brazil in 1977. The Brazilian Air Force conducted an investigation and obtained m ultiple photographs, instrum ented detection and eyew itness testim ony, m uch of w hich pointed to potentially hostile activity by the advanced aerospace vehicles. In sum m ary, w e believe that com bined, these nine projects w ill com prehensively address the tw elve technical areas outlined in contract # HHM 4 02-08-C-0072.

It is our understanding that vital inform ation that is germ ane to all of the contractor recom m endations already resides in governm ent hands. W ithout these clearances, BAASS w ill not be able to access this vital inform ation relevant to very advanced spacecraft. W ithout access to this quality inform ation, BAASS w ould be handicapped to m ore of a parochial study of the tw elve technical areas. W e w ould like to see at least the clearances approved for the BAASS Adm inistrator by the end of January, if at all possible. W e w ould hope that other clearances for w hich the nam es have already been subm itted w ould be forthcom ing relatively soon thereafter. 2) O ne exam ple of acquiring quality inform ation through Agency help is from access to high quality film as soon as possible. W hether the film is from gun cam eras, ground base sources or satellites, all of our scientists and analytical sources agree, this inform ation has significant inherent value. W e believe this single type of resource can influence data gathering on technical areas 1,2,3 ,4 ,5 , 7,8, and 11 as w ill be explained later. 3 ) O ther "low hanging fruit" in w hich the Agency can play a central role could include the obtaining of the best Blue Book files that w ere kept separate due to their "high sensitivity" from the m ore routine incident reports that w ere investigated. P roject Blue Book (active in the 1960's) w as a U S Airforce/U S governm ent program assessing am ong other things the perform ance of very advanced spacecraft. W hat w asn't publically know n w as that a significant Page 4 — This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used w ithout prior w ritten consent from the O perating M anager of BAASS8. am ount of inform ation and trace m aterial never reached the sm all "official" investigation office. W e believe w e m ay know exactly w here som e of that inform ation currently resides. For D IA, the acquisition of the data files know n to be excluded from P roject Bluebook, on advanced aerospace technology that presently resides at LAN L (BAASS affiliated personnel have the precise files num bers and locations of these files at LAN L) w ill be of great im portance in m eeting the tim elines for about 8/12 of the technical tasks. 4 ) Another exam ple involving data already in governm ent hands, w hich the Agency can help us retrieve, concerns the effects upon hum ans (#10) w ho w ere in close proxim ity to the functioning of very advanced spacecraft in the Colares Island, Brazil incidents. In line w ith project Colares: it is recom m ended that the D IA contact the Brazilian Air Force by February 1, 2009 in order to secure an entire set of files, including m edical records, pertaining to the three m onth "invasion" by advanced aerospace vehicles in 1977 off the N orth coast of Brazil. These files include photographs and instrum ented recordings m ade by the Brazilian air force. 5 ) O ther im portant data for Agency acquisition pertain to effects upon nuclear facilities w here anom alous spacecraft w ere in close proxim ity: such as those incidences at RAF Bentw aters, E ngland, M alm strom AFB in M ontana and several others over the years. These w ould apply to #11, Arm am ents, #8, Signature Reduction, and #10, Hum an E ffects. 6) Additional possibilities of benefit from accessing governm ent sources through Agency help pertain to the m atter of #3 , Control, as in the operators of these very advanced spacecraft and possibly the source or sources of these craft. This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or vised wittvoo! prior wnt ten consent from ttve Operating Msm?*ger of fiAASS®.— Page 5 7) Agency officials should m ake efforts to be officially available to accom pany BAASS senior m anagem ent during the process of interview ing key participants. The oral history program w ill be the extraction of inform ation from people about exotic spacecraft w ho w ere highly placed w ithin governm ent. In order for m any of these people to talk, it is necessary for them to know they w on't get into trouble and it is officially okay for them to speak up regarding novel spacecraft that w ere not "black" governm ent program s. W e are speaking here of governm ent em ployees. These oral histories w ould relate to probably all tw elve technical areas. Since m any of these people are in advanced age, tim e is of the essence. BAASS affiliated personnel have a list of about ten individuals w ho have w orked in various parts or have been affiliated w ith the program s involving retrieval of advanced aerospace hardw are or of associated biological m aterial. It w ill be of great im portance for D IA to contact these individuals and to obtain the m axim um inform ation from them . BAASS can supply the nam es and contact inform ation for each person. 8) Agency should assist BAASS w herever, w henever possible in the long term program of outreaching and collaboration w ith select foreign sources including governm ents. Various foreign contact relationships already exist am ong several BAASS senior personnel and other outside associates. It is substantiated w ith testim ony that several "crashes" of novel spacecraft have occurred outside of the U nited States. O ur concern addresses the level to w hich other countries have already succeeded in understanding the technical aspects of these craft. E ven m ore im pressive, w ould be any successes concerning back-engineering of various com ponents. In so far as this "crash" inform ation is decades old, w e have no idea w hat progress has been accom plished to date. How ever, w e do know that various heads of state in other countries have a different view tow ard this subject of novel spacecraft than do Am erican heads of state. W hile "official" Am erican —This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used without prror written consent from the Operating Manager of BAASS^. Page 6 behavior has taken the "head in the sand" approach, w e know that has not been the universal reaction in other countries. O ur m ilitary future could be seriously influenced. 9) U nder the prem ise that biological m aterial of potentially non-hum an origin has been recovered, at the earliest available opportunity D IA w ill lobby via interagency connections for access to m edical sam ples for evaluation by BAASS affiliated forensic personnel w ith such laboratories as the Arm ed Forces Institute of P athology (AFIP ); the various com m ands housed at Fort D etrick, e.g., U .S. Arm y M edical Research and M ateriel Com m and (U SAM RM C) w ith its Bio-defense Agency, and the U .S. Arm y M edical Research Institute of Infectious D iseases (U SAM RIID ); D ugw ay P roving G round's U .S. Arm y Test and E valuation Com m and (ATE C). 10) Via D IA contact w ith N O RAD by February 15 , 2009, w ith data on trajectory and speed from uncorrelated targets having been m ade available to BAASS analysts, w e w ill conduct a detailed evaluation on said data to m ine it for inform ation pertaining to Lift, P ropulsion, Control, P ow er G eneration, Spatial Tem poral Translation, M aterials, Configuration/Structure, Signature reduction, or Arm am ents.

Page 7 INTRODUCTION Scope of Final Report Incorporating each Technical Area This P rogram M anager Report (P M R) accom plishes the requirem ent to subm it a report as part of the Advanced Aerospace W eapon System Application contract HHM 4 02-08-C-0072. This report com prises overview papers identifying the scope of the final report (due in Septem ber 2009) for each of the 12 follow ing areas: (1) Lift, (2) P ropulsion, (3 ) Control, (4 ) P ow er G eneration, (5 ) Spatial Tem poral Translation, (6) M aterials, (7) Configuration/Structure, (8) Signature Reduction (O ptical/IR/RF/Acoustic), (9) Hum an Interface, (10) Hum an E ffects, (11) Arm am ent (RF and D E W ) and (12) O ther areas in Support of 1-11. Secondly this P M R addresses a P lan of Action and M ilestones that encom passes the 12 areas. Finally, the P M R addresses the intended com position of the BAASS analytical team s that w ill w ork on these areas. The objective of the overall program is to understand the physics and engineering of advanced aerospace w eapon system applications as they apply to potential foreign threats out to the far term , e.g., from now through the year 205 0. U nderlining the gravitas of the anom alous aerospace vehicle subject, according to E arthtech Report #7, page 2: "W ith regard to yet m ore exotic possibilities for craft configurations and flight perform ance, it w ould be rem iss to overlook observations of apparently advanced unconventional craft reported by credible observers (e.g. m ilitary and civilian pilots) for several decades [9,10].

Page 8 congressional briefings by the Congressional Research Service [13 ]." N ote: num bers inside parentheses refer to references in the E arthtech report #7. In order to m eaningfully tackle the subject areas outlined in the above 12 technical topics, BAASS has been com pelled to focus on those projects that are feasible given the current tim elines and budget allocations for this contract. The three sets of papers that have been subm itted to the agency by M U FO N , E arthtech and by AA" P erson 8 covered an enorm ous num ber of possible directions as they sought to address the above 12 technical areas. BAASS personnel judged it im possible logistically to em brace all of the recom m endations in these technical papers as reasonable achievables. M any of the projects could take greater than several decades to accom plish and possibly billions of dollars. Accordingly, BAASS has chosen eight specific projects to focus on during the first and second years of this contract. W e consider that the probability of success of these nine projects w ithin a 12 or 24 m onth tim e fram e and w ithin the allocated budgets is m axim ized. Therefore, the objectives, m ethodologies, m ilestones and team com positions for each of the nine projects are laid out in detail in the next section of this P roject m anagem ent Report. Very recently, D IA has m andated the creation of a ninth project, that w e call P roject P hysics (see page 11), in w hich the current research in universities and research institutes on all tw elve technical areas w ill be studied. It should be stated at the outset that w e deliberately adopted the stance that the m ost productive w ay to learn the m axim um about the tw elve technical areas w as to study craft that are already displaying novel behavior in the tw elve technical areas. Hence, w ith the exception of the D IA m andated P roject P hysics (see page 11) BAASS's resources w ill not be devoted to studying the current "state of the art" of technology in our university system and research institutes. This latter approach could prove fruitless and w aste significant tim e and m oney.

PLANS OF ACTION W ITH M ILESTONES AND TEAM COM POSITIONS PROJECT PHYSICS This project w ill cover all tw elve technical areas. Objectives In N ovem ber 2008, E arthtech delivered 12 Technical Studies that recom m ended a w ide ranging array of approaches to address the physics and engineering feasibility of advanced aerospace w eapons system application as they apply to the potential future capabilities of foreign threat system s out to the far term i.e. from now through 205 0. The 12 Technical Studies addressed: Lift, P ropulsion, Control, P ow er G eneration, Spatial/Tem poral Translation, M aterials, Configuration/Structure, Signature Reduction, Hum an Interface, Hum an E ffects, Arm am ent and O ther Areas. M any of the approaches recom m ended in the 12 E arthtech Technical Studies are highly theoretical. E ven w ith virtually unlim ited buckets of tim e and m oney it is im possible to predict w hich, if any, of these approaches m ight yield a physical dem onstration that parallels the behavior of novel spacecraft already know n to exist. How ever, through recent consultations betw een the D IA and BAASS, it has been decided that a new series of position papers shall focus on an in-depth treatm ent of subsets of each of the tw elve technical areas. For the sake of thoroughness, the Agency and BAASS have decided that on the rem ote chance a six m onth exploratory effort m ay reveal significant progress in one or m ore of the tw elve technical areas, BAASS shall proceed w ith P roject P hysics. P erhaps this This information is prupi ieldiy and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used w ithout prior w ritten consent from the O perating M anager of BAASS*. Page 10 research could explain som e aspect of behavior over the last six decades of very advanced spacecraft already know n to exist. BAASS is contracting w ith E arthtech for an in-depth six m onth study to locate through any sources at E arthtech's disposal any inform ation on these m ore prosaic approaches that have been kicked about for som e period of years. Accordingly, the objective of P roject P hysics is for E arthtech and its subcontractors to produce approxim ately 24 position papers that are com prehensive treatm ents of m ore than one approach for each of the 12 technical areas. Methodology E arthtech w ill choose the precise nature and scope of the approxim ately 24 position papers that w ill encom pass the 12 technical areas (lift, P ropulsion, Control, P ow er G eneration, Spatial/Tem poral Translation, M aterials, Configuration/Structure, Signature Reduction, Hum an Interface, Hum an E ffects, Arm am ent and O ther Areas). E ither through in-house physicists or external physics/engineering contractors, E arthtech w ill deliver the approxim ately 24 position papers that w ill be based on expanding and focusing on strategically im portant sub-projects from the 12 position papers that E arthtech already has delivered. Milestones E arthtech w ill deliver approxim ately 24 position papers to BAASS on or before July 3 1, 2009, This information is proprietary and confidential and cannot be disseiilinaLed or used without prior written consent from the Operating Manager of BAASS*.

Page 12 PROJECT ENGAGEMENT This program shall endeavor to locate possible sm all geographical areas w here novel spacecraft seem to frequent. This program w ould specifically relate to technical area #9 w ith possible collateral involvem ent of other technical areas. Objectives In spite of having confirm ation that a significant m enu of very novel spacecraft have existed for over 60 years and travel anyw here, anytim e, there is no officially reliable data as to w ho pilot these craft, how they are m ade, w here is their place of origin and w hy they are here. U ntil actual m aterials are obtained, w e m ust rely on m ore indirect m eans. How ever, on the slim chance that som e geographic areas could be found w here "regular" flights of these craft w ere occurring, it m ight be possible to im plem ent a pro-active program , actually seeking som e form of engagem ent. M em bers of BAASS have som e previous experience in this regard. This w ill be a very unpredictable program . It also could be risky for the participants. And it could be financially expensive. How ever, the potential gain could be unlim ited and that is w hy w e are offering this plan. The first objective w ould be to locate, choose and secure possible sites. Concurrent w ith this activity w ould be the engagem ent of BAASS staff and outside contractors to properly strategize various approach scenarios. As new site opportunities w ere recognized by BAASS staff, possibly due to the im m ediate nature of the spacecraft perform ances, expansion of this program w ould occur dom estically and to foreign locations over tim e. The second objective is to gather as m uch data as possible through observation of the craft. This is not as easy as it sounds. The authors of this This information ib proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used without prior written consent from the Operating Manager of BAASS* Page 13 overview paper can ratify this point. To successfully gather useful data from observations requires cooperation from the spacecraft. P erform ances m ust necessarily be continued. The acquisition and im plem entation of very sophisticated equipm ent is a challenge. Having the right people and enough hum an resources in vital. The entire effort requires flexibility, inventiveness and patience. But the rew ards lead to the possibility of a successful third objective. The third objective w ould be Com m unication and or Contact. (This is not, by the w ay, a novel idea. It is our understanding that select com m unications and contact betw een the operators of these spacecraft and interested parties w ithin this country started m any years ago.) The authors of this paper w ould suggest approaches that w ould encom pass diverse m ethods. Methodology Som e previous efforts produced effects that could be interpreted as m arginal but w ith positive results. M ultiple hum an w itnesses w ere involved in m any dozens of successful efforts. These intensified in 2007 and 2008. Hundreds of photographs, indoors and outdoors using m ultiple digital cam eras, w ere taken show ing anom alistic features. W ith m ost of this activity, w e w ere not the initiators of these contacts. O ur function w as m ore catalytic in nature. In the vast m ajority of contacts, w e w ere acted upon. That is to say, having placed ourselves in residency at the location for a substantial period of tim e, w e began to "participate" in w hat w e considered gam es and dem onstrations, but, usually w e w ere caught by surprise. The m ethods of com m unication or contact could encom pass a w ide variety of approaches. From the use of various hardw are to engaging people as cognitive interactive subjects. W e have previously tried both. Page 14 This information is propr ieldiy and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used w ithout prior w ritten consent from the O perating M anager of BAASS^. Milestones W e shall initiate the process of identifying possible geographic locations of current or recent past activity during the first quarter of 2009, Also at that tim e, w e shall convene one of several w orkshops as an ongoing process to plan and strategize approaches and program structure. O f necessity, it is anticipated that project engagem ent w ill require m ultiple years of focused resources and funding, potentially extending into and beyond 2011. Also, w e shall engage outside contractors during this tim e to conduct specific tasks. Team Composition Finding and fitting the appropriate type of people to this assignm ent w ill be m ost difficult for m any reasons. Fortunately, BAASS's sister com pany Bigelow Aerospace (in addition to BAASS) currently has in its em ploy a few people that already have som e experience and can help initiate the program . How ever, num erous other people w ill be needed to augm ent BA's and BAASS's sm all force in addition to the BAASS Adm inistrator and D eputy Adm inistrator. Supplem ental to eventually having several in house team s, contracting for outside assistance w ill be necessary. The BAASS Adm inistrator and D eputy Adm inistrator have had previous experience in contracting for this type of observation activity. This type of field w ork, w hile very aw kw ard for the Agency to say the least, is som ething w ell suited for BAASS. This information is proprietary diid eunfidentiai and cannot be dissem inated □rased without pnor written consent from the Operating Manager of bAASS1". Page 15 PROJECT COOPERATION P roject Cooperation is the program that could be the m ost im portant of all P lans of Action. As previously listed under K ey Recom m endations, in order to not w aste tim e, in order to not w aste m oney, in order to m ake this overall program the m ost productive for w hich the RFP w as constructed and paid for by the Sponsors, the Agency needs to be successful in its ability to assist BAASS in the acquisition of film , hardw are, relevant m aterials and inform ation currently under G overnm ent and Agency influence and control. This should include other relationships the Agency has w ith other organizations. W e acknow ledge that w e have been told several tim es this effort w ill be forthcom ing w ith our help and look to this w ith great expectation. Objectives Since proper clearance activity has been initiated for the BAASS Adm inistrator and others, the first step is som ething the Agency can take now . According to the schedule BAASS has been given, there is no tim e to w aste. Concurrent w ith the clearance approval process, the Agency can begin to m ake inquiries w ithin itself as the Agency has already said is the first logical place to begin. By the tim e the Agency has dug dow n to discover its ow n the quality sources, clearance should be approved at least for the BAASS Adm inistrator. The second step w ould be for a m eeting betw een the Agency and the Adm inistrator for discussion and creation of strategy purposes. The third objective is for BAASS to m arshal hum an and financial resources into this Cooperation P rogram . This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used without prior w i ilten consent from the O perating-M anager of &AASS^r Page 16 Methodology P roject Cooperation w ill initiate w ith the receipt of clearances by the BAASS Adm inistrator. How ever, w hile the clearance process is underw ay, the agency w ill be focused on uncovering the m any sources of inform ation and leads on the topic of anom alous aerospace vehicle perform ance that reside w ithin its ow n data archives. This internal agency dataset could provide a very rich source of pertinent inform ation. N ext, the agency, the BAASS Adm inistrator and other appropriately cleared BAASS personnel w ill cooperate in (a) seeking out and securing the m aterials that avoided P roject Bluebook, (b) the high value people w ith valuable inform ation for interview s, (c) the location and content of the files pertaining to the N orthern Tier-m issile AFB sightings, (d) the ground-based, satellite based and gun cam era film /im agery residing at m ultiple locations and (e) the files from the Brazilian Colares Island incidents involving m ultiple injuries/deaths from anom alous aerospace vehicles in 1977. All of these directions are discussed in m ore detail in the subsequent sections of this report Milestones The first m ilestone is identified as the joint efforts of the Adm inistrator acquiring needed clearance, hopefully by January 2009 and the Agency obtaining relevant substantive inform ation etc. to share that requires SCI or Top Secret Clearance. The second m ilestone w ould encom pass the m eeting previously m entioned. This m eeting needs to occur as soon as possible after the first m ilestone is accom plished. P rior to this m eeting there w ill be the necessity to develop a satisfactory procedure/process for the delivery of m aterials, inform ation etc. to BAASS. This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used without prior w ritten consent from the O perating M anager of BAASS”. Page 17 This program phase called P roject Cooperation cannot be over em phasized in its im portance. A thorough data-m ining of potential inform ation location needs to begin im m ediately. If successful this project w ould substantially contribute to all tw elve technical areas. D epending on the speed of cooperation betw een D IA and BAASS, it is anticipated that this project w ill extend beyond 2009 and into 2010 and 2011.

Objectives The first objective is to stim ulate, m otivate and encourage the senior levels of the academ ic com m unity w ithin the U nited States to involve them selves in study and research of very advanced aerial spacecraft that is presently considered phenom enological. In this effort, it is this program 's intention to lay the seeds for serious exploration of this topic w ithin the national academ ic com m unity at its highest levels. After six decades of overt, blatant conspicuous and obtrusive global perform ance by very advanced anom alously behaving spacecraft, the academ ic com m unity is still successful in m aintaining the posture that these spacecraft either don't exist or are not w orthy of serious research and study. Foundationally, there still rem ains a giggle factor w hich has been instrum ental in squashing serious consideration and thought. The second objective is to extract from this large untapped body of resource inform ation not previously obtained. The third objective is to stay ahead, or w orse, catch up to the sim ilar efforts that m ay already be underw ay in foreign countries. It is our opinion that such research efforts conducted on a significant scale in foreign countries could/w ould This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used w ithout prior w ritten consent from the O perating M anager of 8AASS*. Page 19 eventually pose a threat to U S national security. Such a significant program w ould/could provide a serious positive stim ulus to academ ic research in science and m ath thus furthering the m ilitary capabilities of those countries. O ur concern is that the top universities/technical institutes in som e foreign countries M AY take this subject m ore seriously than w e do in the U nited States and hence M AY already have devoted significant resources to their study. P roject Cam pus w ill seek to help am eliorate this putative technological gap. M ethodology The first priority is for BAASS to create a sophisticated program of grants that is designed to stim ulate the academ ic com m unity to take the subject of advanced aerospace vehicles seriously. BAASS w ill engineer a series of RFP s that are directed at universities in the U nited States. The RFP s w ill unam biguously em phasize the urgent need to study unconventional advanced aircraft w ith respect to aerospace engineering, theoretical and applied physics, advanced m aterials science etc. All prospective applicants w ill file a statem ent of intent that w ill com prise a brief overview of w hat they intend to do. In this w ay, research that is proposed that is judged by BAASS to be insufficiently ground breaking, advanced or breakthrough w ill be quickly term inated w ithout the need to w aste precious resources in grant allocation. BAASS w ill appoint a grant m onitors w ho w ill w ork w ith the P I to ensure that the subm itted proposal is of the highest quality and im portantly is on target to address one of the tw elve criteria. M ilestones The first m ilestone, approxim ate delivery date February 28, 2009, w ill be AAP Person 100 AAP Person 99 and team to form ulate and present to the BAASS This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated orused Wtrhour prior written consent from thy Operating Manager of-BAASS*; Page 20 Adm inistrator, the com prehensive detailed strategy for reaching out to the academ ic com m unity in the U nited States. This w ill take the form of design of RFP s and design of Letter of Intent (LO I) solicitations. A realistic projection from BAASS is that the m ilestones in the project should encom pass at least three years of effort. Academ ic turnaround is dem onstrably slow .

Page 21 PROJECT DATABASE This program w ill address all tw elve technical areas. Objectives For six decades there have been displays of advanced aerospace vehicles in the skies of N orth Am erica and around the w orld that have been w itnessed by thousands of people, including m ilitary pilots and ground crew s, civil aviation pilots, law enforcem ent officers and m em bers of the public. Because these displays have not been taken seriously, few significant resources have been allocated to gathering the data into a single place from all of these sightings. Instead, data is scattered through over tw enty sm aller databases in the U nited States and over a dozen m ore internationally. Because of a lack of resources (a) these data have never been brought into a single storage site and (b) consequently have never been analyzed using sophisticated search param eters. This BAASS project seeks to elim inate this shortcom ing. The objective is to create the w orld's first com prehensive high quality searchable database of advanced aerial technology m aneuvers. M ethodology For BAASS, the establishm ent of a "m eta-database" of advanced aerospace technology interactions w ith hum ans, com prising a subset from over tw enty know n datasets from the public dom ain w ill be in place in the first year of operations. The BAASS database w ill include the highest quality, calibrated, close encounter datasets already m erged and searchable by keyw ords from a subset of publicly available databases. It is anticipated that the end result of the w orldw ide database collection w ill results in thousands of different high quality aerospace This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used w ittrocrt prior w ritten consent from theO peratitrgM anager of- BAASS^. Page 22 technology cases. The BAASS database w ill be searchable w ith keyw ords specifically designed to interrogate for: Lift, P ropulsion, Control, P ow er G eneration, Spatial tem poral translation, M aterials, Configuration/Structure, Signature Reduction (O ptical/IR/RF/Acoustic), Hum an Interface, Hum an E ffects, Arm am ent, O ther areas. E xtending into 2010, BAASS w ill create a series of liaisons to obtain the highest quality cases of advanced aerospace vehicle activity from the M inistry of D efense (M oD ) in the U K (release of som e files into the public dom ain w as initiated by the U K M oD in 2008), from high level officials in France, from m ilitary liaisons in Belgium . Secondly, w e w ill establish contacts w ith high level individuals/ in the Brazilian, P eruvian, Chilean and Argentine air forces, all four of w hich have had m ultiple reports of activity in their air spaces, som e of w hich have leaked into the public dom ain. Thirdly, BAASS w ill purchase, dow nload, or otherw ise acquire databases pertaining to advanced aerospace activity from Australia, Scandinavia, G erm any and other countries. Milestones By June 3 0 2009, BAASS w ill purchase, dow nload or initiate negotiations to acquire a subset of the approxim ately 20 databases, including those created by N ID S, M U FO N , U FO CAT, G E IP AN and N ARCAP . Initially, these databases w ill be purged of all cases that do not conform to BAASS requirem ents. The objective is to use only the close encounter cases w ith m ultiple w itnesses as starting points for database analysis. The m ilestones as a part of the international outreach in this project w ill likely extend into 2010 and 2011.

Page 24 ORAL HISTORY PROJECT This program w ill involve all tw elve technical areas. Objectives Im portant inform ation regarding the perform ance, properties, and even com position of advanced aerospace technology resides in the m inds and m em ories of dozens of highly placed retired individuals, m any of w hom are know n to BAASS affiliated personnel. These individuals because of their w ork places and special projects collectively have an in depth specific know ledge of the properties of advanced aerospace technology. M any of these individuals are currently at an advanced age and under the appropriate circum stances w ill be w illing to transfer their inform ation to BAASS affiliated personnel as a part of the oral history project. Methodology A rigorous protocol for interview ing these high value people w ill be created by BAASS staff. The purpose of the protocol is to extract the m axim um am ount of relevant inform ation from these individuals. Since these interview ees m ay be relatively unw illing to divulge all inform ation in their possession, a great deal of care w ill be taken in broaching the subject w ith these individuals. M ilestones By the end of the first six m onths of operations, BAASS staff, BAASS affiliated staff and D IA personnel w ill have identified and connected w ith a cadre Page 25 This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated -or used- without prior written consent from the Operating Manager of BAASS*. of high value people and w ill have com m enced recorded interview s w ith these individuals.

Objectives It is know n to BAASS personnel that a com prehensive group of files of advanced aerospace activity, docum ented by several branches of the U nited States m ilitary, exists in a secure location at Los Alam os N ational Labs (LAN L). These files are know n to have been excluded from P roject Blue Book (the official Air Force project that studied advanced aerospace vehicles in the 1960s), and likely represent that subset of cases that directly im pacted U nited States m ilitary personnel, equipm ent, arm am ents, and thus these files m ay constitute evidence of a threat. Secondly, BAASS sources indicate that there m ay be physical trace evidence associated w ith som e of these incidents and that these m aterials are also in the sam e location at LAN L. Since som e of these files are relevant to all tw elve technical study areas as they pertain to advanced aerospace vehicles, as a first priority D IA w ill secure these files in total and transm it them to appropriately cleared BAASS personnel. Methodology D IA personnel w ill be apprised of (by BAASS staff) the exact file nam es, file num bers and precise locations of the docum ents in question. D IA personnel w ill then secure these files. This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used without prior written consent from the Operating Manager of BAASS®. Page 27 Milestones By February 1, 2009, D IA staff w ill have been apprised by BAASS affiliated personnel of the file num bers, exact locations of the advanced aerial phenom ena cases that did not m ake it into P roject Bluebook. It is difficult to estim ate the length of tim e required for D IA staff to secure these m aterials and to pass them in a secure m anner to appropriately cleared BAASS staff. Since w e only know the precise locations of a portion of these files, it m ay take significant tim e, possibly extending past 2010/2011 to locate and secure the rem ainder.

Page 28 PROJECT NORTHERN TIER This project w ill cover technical study 11: Arm am ent. Objectives Beginning in the 1960s, there w ere num erous w ell docum ented sightings by m ultiple AFB personnel and pilots of incursions into the airspace over the "N orthern Tier" air force bases in the U nited States by advanced aerospace vehicles of unknow n origin. Incursions into restricted air space, hovering over nuclear arm am ent locations, interference w ith ICBM functional integrity or som e com bination occurred at M alm strom AFB M T, Loring AFB M E , W urtsm ith AFB M l, M inot AFB N D , and K irtland AFB N M during the 1960's and 1970s. Subsequently, a w ell know n incursion event occurred at RAF Bentw aters under the jurisdiction of the U SAF in D ecem ber 1980 in w hich allegedly trace radioactivity w as m easured at the site. All of these incursions by aircraft displaying advanced aerospace technology could have represented a threat to the U nited States. Methodology W ith urgent effort, D IA w ill obtain the full set of Strategic Air Com m and (SAC)/other organization records from each of these AFB incursion incidents and w ill have transm itted them to appropriately cleared BAASS personnel. It should be noted that som e of these incidents of incursions into Air Force bases w ere partially reported in P roject Blue Book (for exam ple an O ctober 1968 incident involving a 3 00 foot long advanced aerospace vehicle at M inot AFB in N orth D akota w as reported to P roject Blue Book how ever, by far the m ost This inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used w ithout prior w ritten-consent from the Operating Managerof.

Milestones By M arch 10, 2009 BAASS affiliated personnel in collaboration w ith D IA personnel w ill have located the files that pertain to the N orthern Tier sightings. Since expurgated versions of som e of these cases already exist in the P roject Bluebook files, these cases w ill initially be used to identify the locations and accession num bers of the full datasets. BAASS personnel are already aw are of over a dozen potential incidents involving over six AFB's. W e anticipate that it w ill take over a year, potentially extending into 2010/2011 to locate, secure and transfer all pertinent data.

Objectives In 1977, the Brazilian island of Colares w as the scene for som e of the m ost aggressive close encounters ever recorded in the open literature. O nly a m inority of the Island's city of Colares’ approxim ately 2,000 inhabitants w ould be spared the light beam s shot to the ground by m any various flying objects. A num ber of residents m anaged to take photographs of the flying aerospace vehicles, or "chupa-chupas," as the locals called them . From June - D ecem ber 1977, scores of reports of unknow n, flying objects w ith m any different variations of shape and size w ere collected. There w ere sightings of sm all and large aerospace vehicles of advanced design, cigar-shaped, saucer-shaped, and m ore. Som e of the objects w ere lum inous, som e w ere not, but all of them had lethal potential. O ne of the physicians w ho had treated the victim s w asj1B4 3 (a>(2) - 1843(a)(2) w ro te: "aii of them had suffered lesions to the face or the thoracic area." The lesions, looking like radiation injuries, "began w ith intense reddening of the skin in the affected area. Later the hair w ould fall out and the skin w ould 1843(a)(2) turn black. There w as no pain, only a slight w arm th. O ne also noticed sm all puncture m arks in the skin. The victim s w ere m en and w om en of varying ages, w ithout any pattern." Therefore, m any of the interactions betw een hum ans and advanced aerospace vehicles in the Colares Brazil sightings in the 1970s resulted in deaths and injuries. The Colares events unquestionably constituted a threat, in som e cases a lethal threat, both to Brazilian air space and to Brazilian citizens. D uring the several m onth period, representatives from the Brazilian Air Force w ere dispatched to the area and they took photographs of the objects and 5 his inform ation is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used w ithout prior-written consent from the O perating M anager of BAASS^ Page 31 recorded volum inous data on the nature of the objects that displayed advanced aerospace properties. The objective of the present study is to obtain the files on these incidents. Methodology Beginning in January 2009, an effort w ill be m ade through D IA sources to arrange for access from the Brazilian air force of the full set of classified files concerning the Colares Island events, including their translation from P ortuguese into E nglish. The set of files should include all of the m edical records from the individuals w ho died during this period as a result of interactions w ith the beam s of light. Secondly, the physiciar i843(^(^ at the tim e of the Colares Island incidents in 1977. Hence, she is 1843(a)(2) BAASS personnel can ascertain her w hereabouts and interview her in depth regarding the events of 1977, including receiving from her any m edical records that she m ight have in her possession. Thirdly, according tcM P P erson 5 in "Confrontations", a portion of the extensive files from the Brazilian Air Force investigation m ay have been transferred to the U nited States. In collaboration w ith D IA people, BAASS researchers should elucidate the precise location and ow nership of these files and determ ine w hether they are transferable. If transferable, BAASS w ill arrange for the files to be translated from P ortuguese to E nglish. This information is proprietary and confidential and cannot be dissem inated or used witliout prior w ritten consent from Hie Operating Manager of BAASS*. Page 32 Milestones By M arch 15 , 2009 it is anticipated that D IA personnel in collaboration w ith BAASS staff w ill have located the files pertaining to the Colares events. As of D ecem ber 2008, parts of the files are know n to be in Brazil, and are the property of the Brazilian Air Force. Approxim ately 200 pages of these files, in P ortuguese, have been posted on the Internet (http://w w w .ufo.com .br/docum entop.php). BAASS staff w ill calibrate the chain of custody and provenance of these Internet files and if validated, they w ill be translated from P ortuguese into E nglish by BASS contract. This initial project w ill happen in the first quarter of 2009. Since these files are located in m ultiple areas, potentially in m ore than one country w e anticipate that this process could extend into 2010/2011.

Therefore, w e do not have to look too far to im agine w hat types of capabilities, and characteristics w e w ould w ish our ow n spacecraft possessed regarding the tw elve technical areas: lift, propulsion, control, pow er generation, spatial/tem poral translation, m aterials, configuration/structure, signature reduction, hum an interface, hum an effects, arm am ent, and other peripheral areas in support that com prise the focus of this contract. If w e w ish to have spacecraft that em ulate the perform ance characteristics of these unknow n spacecraft already m oving freely in our public and secure airspace, then this program m ust necessarily acquire the ability to have a closer look. It is im perative that physical access be obtained to actual hardw are of the anom alous spacecraft that appear to be m any decades or centuries beyond anything w e have. W hatever country is able to reproduce first the type of spacecraft hardw are that w e see being exhibited in these "paranorm al" spacecraft, shall secure its space explorations and m ilitary future. O ur first concern is w here on this planet has the m ost progress already been m ade in regard to efforts of reproduction. W e expect to im plem ent in this first year an aggressive start in establishing this new program through Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies. As you have already seen in just this short tim e, w e m ove very quickly. O ur dom estic efforts w ill rapidly expand this fiscal year and position BAASS for an aggressive push into foreign countries.

Upon first approaching the building, 1 observed that it was under heavy guard both outside and inside. Once inside, I was permitted from a safe distance to first observe the object just recovered north of town, It was approx. 12 to 15 feet in length, not quite as wide, about 6 feet high, and more of an egg shape.
