BAASS Field Investigation at Lagol CA: NVG Craft Observation, DIA Report Filed
Between 5 and 27 July 2009, AAWSAP/BAASS investigators conducted an extended field investigation at a private property in Lagol, California (pseudonym) occupied by the Scarsdale family (pseudonym). The family had reported repeated aerial phenomena over a period of months.
On 27 July 2009, investigator Buck Scarsdale observed through night-vision goggles a hovering craft approximately six to nine meters long with a flat underside at low altitude. A second investigator independently confirmed an object of nine by six meters with a curved upper surface, devoid of visible lights or identifying markings.
Throughout the multi-week investigation, professional instruments repeatedly malfunctioned on the property while operating normally off-site. Equipment deployed included an Aaronia HF-60100 spectrum analyzer, radiation detectors, and cameras. All findings were compiled into a 257-page special report submitted to the Defense Intelligence Agency.
The case was designated BAASS Case B-012 and represented one of the most resource-intensive field investigations conducted under the AAWSAP contract, involving multiple investigator rotations over several weeks.
Background
In 2009, a BAASS (Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies) field team conducted an investigation in Lagol, California after receiving reports of anomalous aerial activity. Using night-vision goggles, the team observed and documented an unidentified craft exhibiting unconventional flight characteristics.
The Investigation
BAASS deployed a field team equipped with night-vision goggles (NVG) to investigate reports of anomalous aerial activity in the region. The team directly observed and documented an unidentified craft during their field operations.
Observations and Documentation
- Unidentified craft observed using NVG technology
- Craft exhibited unconventional flight characteristics
- Observations were formally documented by the field team
- Evidence collected during direct government-contracted investigation
Official Reporting
The observation was formally reported through AAWSAP (Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program) channels to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). This established an official government record of the incident.
Significance
This case represents one of the documented instances where AAWSAP investigators directly observed and recorded UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) activity during field operations. The incident provides first-hand government-contracted evidence of anomalous aerial phenomena, making it a notable example of official investigative documentation.
