WHAT THE RECORD SAYS

The government's own description, as released.

This document is an administrative, programmatic, or contractor-produced record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As part of the broader program record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, executed, or described at a particular point in time.

This November 2009 Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) progress report summarizes contractor activities for the period November 1-30, 2009. The report focuses on AAWSAP investigative activity based on information received via the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), progress on investigations centering on a ranch in Utah, and a preliminary report on a “blue orb” incident. It also records BAASS’s continued emphasis on field investigation, case database expansion, and focused inquiry into events at the Utah ranch and surrounding area, including creation of a separate database for those incidents.
