Pentagon: AATIP Establishes Six Observables and Warp Bubble Theory
Around 2016, AATIP formalized the six observables — the defining characteristics of UAP — based on Hal Puthoff's spacetime bubble propulsion theory.
Background
Around 2016, AATIP formalized the framework of six observables that define genuine UAP encounters, based on theoretical work by Dr. Hal Puthoff. These are: (1) anti-gravity lift — no apparent aerodynamic surfaces, (2) sudden and instantaneous acceleration — no visible propulsion, (3) hypersonic velocities without signatures — no sonic boom, (4) low observability/cloaking, (5) transmedium travel — air/water/space, and (6) positive lift — hovering in ways defying known physics.
Puthoff's theoretical basis was the spacetime bubble — a localized warping of spacetime where the craft doesn't move through space, but space moves around the craft. This explained all six observables as logical consequences of a single propulsion mechanism. The craft's shape indicated the number of propulsion units: disc (single), cigar (double), triangle (triple), large triangle (quadruple), boomerang (multiple).
The terahertz frequency range (3.2-5.6 THz) was identified as the potential energy frequency for spacetime curvature, with the craft's skin being an integral component of the propulsion system.
Significance
Established the scientific framework that still defines UAP investigation today, linking propulsion theory to observed characteristics.
