US: DIA responds to senators on AAWSAP projects

Event Overview On January 9, 2018, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) addressed questions from Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Senator Jack Reed (D-R.I.) concerning 38 research efforts linked to the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, correctly identified as the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Application Program (AAWSAP). This official letter became accessible on January 16, 2018, following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Steven Aftergood, head of the Federation of American Scientists’ Project on Government Secrecy.

Key Research Topics Notable studies included investigations into traversable wormholes, stargates, and negative energy, directed by Eric W. Davis from EarthTech International, established by Harold E. Puthoff, a past participant in the Stargate Project. Another focused on invisibility cloaking, led by Ulf Leonhardt, a professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. A further examination covered warp drive, dark energy, and handling extra dimensions, credited to Richard Obousy, leader of the nonprofit Icarus Interstellar.

Additional Releases and Context One document, titled on clinical medical effects from human tissue exposure in acute and subacute field scenarios, authored by Christopher (Kit) Green, ex-CIA operative, forensic expert, and neuroscientist, was shared publicly by Popular Mechanics on February 14, 2020. Green portrayed it as evaluating injury reports potentially stemming from alleged UAP interactions. Sources encompass reporting by Joseph Trevithick in The Drive, DIA listings, Nigel Watson in Fortean Times, and John Greenewald at The Black Vault.

Significance This disclosure illuminated secretive military-funded explorations into exotic propulsion and UAP-related effects, bridging speculative physics with reported phenomena investigations.
