PREFACE
Importance of the Work
There has been over six decades of intensive activity of advanced
aerospace craft in the skies over North America and around the world. These have
been witnessed, photographed and chased by military pilots, witnessed by ground
crews, by commercial airline pilots and by thou sands of military and civilian
ground based personnel. The importance of this study lies in the possibility that
some of these advanced aerospace craft may represent a threat to the security of
the United States including its airspace and nuclear facilities. It is thus a very high
priority to further our understanding of the physics and engineering feasibi lity of
advanced aerospace weapon systems applications as they apply to the potential
future capabilities of foreign threat systems out to the fa r term, i.e. from now out
through the year 2050.
Appreciation
BAASS appreciates the high level of trust that has been bestowed on the
organization by the sponsors/DIA in assigning us with the responsibility of
furthering our understanding of the physics and engineering feasibility of
advanced aerospace weapons system applications. BAASS understands the
sobering importance and the long term implications of this project.

SUMMARY
This Project Manager Report (PMR) fulfills the requirement to submit a
report as part of the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Application contract
HHM402-08-C-0072. The report comprises overview projects that are focused on
and include the scope of the final report (due in September 2009) for the twelve
following areas: (1) lift, (2) Propulsion, (3) control, (4) Power Generation, (5)
Spatial/Temporal Translation, (6) Materials, (7) Configuration/Structure, (8)
Signature Reduction (Optical/lR/RF/Acoustic), (9)Human Interface, (10) Human
effects, (11) Armament (RF and DEW), and {12) Other areas in support of 1-11.
The PMR addresses a Plan of Action, Milestones and the composition of BAASS
analytical teams for these twelve technical areas.
In numerous places throughout the EarthTech report previously mentioned,
,.,.1~"""',P Pe _ _ ....land others refer to the need for "examining more exotic possibilities

that might account for reports of truly anomalous characteristics of high
performance craft of unknown origin whose mode of operation appears to be
well advanced beyond that presently known ."
With that in mind, we present the Plans of Action and Milestones in this
report comprising nine separate major projects which collectively address all
twelve of the technical areas. It should be emphasized that for each of the nine
projects, we envisage extension and expansion into 2010 and 2011. Accordingly,
the milestones for each of the nine projects described herein should include
extensions into 2010, 2011 and beyond.

The nine major projects are:
Project Physics was mandated by t he DIA to study the current research on
all twelve t echnical areas. Earthtech and its subcontractors will deliver
approximately 24 in depth position papers targeted to twelve technical areas by
July 31, 2009.
Project Engagement will locate and secure small geographic areas that
experience very frequent displays of advanced aerospace vehicles. The purpose is
to directly observe and measure advanced aerospace vehicle performance.
Project Cooperation requires the fu ll cooperation between the DIA and
BAASS and lays out t he expected frameworks and specifics of this cooperation.
Thi s necessitat es the help and cooperation from t he DIA in assisting BAASS to
obtain the high value fi lm, hardware, relevant materials and information that are
essential to the successful completion of this proj ect.
Project Campus will seek to stimulat e, motivate and encourage the senior
levels of the academic community in the United States to seriou sly study
advanced aerospace vehicles and their performances.
Project Database will bring together all existing data from mu ltiple
separate databases on advanced aerospace vehicle performances in the United
States, and ultimately in other countries for the past 60 years. This new database
will be searchable by keywords that address all twelve technical areas.

or used without prior written consent fro,11 tlie Ope, ating Manage, of BAASS'"'.
Project Oral History will contact and reco rd interviews with dozens of
highly placed individuals from industry and the military who have had direct
knowledge of film evidence, physical material evidence, hardware itself, biological
tissue and other m at erial as they pertain to advanced aerial t echnology in the
United States over the past several decades.
Project Blue Book Materials will obtain the case files and associat ed trace
materials with the help of DIA of multiple high value cases involving advanced
aerospace vehicles that were never included in Project Blue Book presumably
because they were deemed too sensitive.
Project Northern Tier will obtain all the information and case files
pertaining to dozens of cases in which advanced aerospace ve hicles flew over
restricted air force bases containing nuclear weapons, hovered over weapon
storage depots and interfered with funct ional integrity of ICBM missile systems
during the 1960s and 1970s. All of these cases potentially provide evidence of a
threat to the national security of the United States.
Project Colares will obtain mat erials and case files, with help from the DIA,
from an extensive series of advanced aerospace incidents, many of which caused
death and injury to indigenous inhabitants, occurring on Colares Island in th e
Northern area of Brazil in 1977. The Brazilian Air Force conduct ed an investigation
and obtained multiple photographs, instrumented det ection and eyewitness
t estimony, much of which pointed t o pot entially hostile activity by the advanced
aerospace vehicles.
In summary, we believe that combined, th ese nine projects will
comprehensively address the twelve technical areas outlined in contract#
HHM402-08-C-0072.

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS
1) In order for BAASS to provide the optimum result, it is essential that
various BAASS staff acquire the necessary clearances as soon as possible. It is
our understanding that vital information that is germane to all of the
contractor recommendations already resides in government hands. Without
these clearances, BAASS will not be able to access this vital information
relevant to very advanced spacecraft. Without access to this quality
information, BAASS would be handicapped to more of a parochial study of the
twelve technical areas. We would like to see at least the clearances approved
for the BAASS Administrator by the end of January, if at all possible. We would
hope that other clearances for which the names have already been submitted
would be forthcoming relatively soon thereafter.
2) One example of acquiring quality information through Agency help is from
access to high quality film as soon as possible. Whether the film is from gun
cameras, ground base sources or satellites, all of our scientist s and analytical
sources agree, this information has significant inherent value. We believe this
single type of resource can influence data gathering on technical areas
1,2,3,4,5, 7,8, and 11 as will be explained later.
3) Other "low hanging fruit" in which the Agency can play a central role could
include the obtaining of the best Blue Book files that were kept separate due
to their "high sensitivity" from the more routine incident reports that were
investigated. Project Blue Book (active in the 1960's) was a US Airforce/US
government program assessing among other things the performance of very
advanced spacecraft. What wasn't publically known was that a significant
Page 4
This information is proprietary and confidential and cannot be disseminated
or used without prior written consent from the Operating Manager of BAASS•.
amount of information and trace material never reached the small "official"
investigation office. We believe we may know exactly where some of that
information currently resides. For DIA, the acquisition of the data files known
to be excluded from Project Bluebook, on advanced aerospace technology that
presently resides at LANL (BAASS affiliated personnel have th e precise files
numbers and locations of these files at LANL) will be of great importance in
meeting the timelines for about 8/12 of the t echnical tasks.
4) Another example involving data already in government hands, which the
Agency can help us retrieve, concerns the effects upon humans (#10) who
were in close proximity to the functioning of very advanced spacecraft in th e
Colares Island, Brazil incidents. In line with project Colares: it is recommended
that the DIA contact the Brazilian Air Force by February 1, 2009 in order to
secure an entire set of fil es, including medical records, pertaining to the three
month " invasion" by advanced aerospace vehicles in 1977 off the North coast
of Brazil. These files include photographs and instrumented recordings made
by the Brazilian air force.
5) Other important data for Agency acquisition pertain t o effect s upon
nuclear facilities where anomalous spacecraft were in close proximity: such as
those incidences at RAF Bentwaters, England, Malmstrom AFB in Montana and
several others over the years. These would apply to #11, Armaments, #8,
Signature Reduction, and #10, Human Effects.
6) Additional possibilities of benefit from accessing government sources
through Agency help pertain to the matter of #3, Control, as in the operators
of these very advanced spacecraft and possibly the source or sources of these
craft.

or 1:Jsed withel:lt prior written eonseAt freffi the OperatiAg Manager of DAA558 .
7) Agency officials should make efforts to be officially available to accompany
BAASS senior management during the process of interviewing key participants.
The oral history program will be the extraction of information from people
about exotic spacecraft who were highly placed within government. In order
for many of these people to talk, it is necessary for them to know they won't
get into trouble and it is officially okay for them to speak up regarding novel
spacecraft that were not "black" government programs. We are speaking here
of government employees. These oral histories would relate to probably all
twelve technical areas. Since many of these people are in advanced age, time
is of the essence. BAASS affiliated personnel have a list of about ten
individuals who have worked in various parts or have been affiliated with the
programs involving retrieval of advanced aerospace hardware or of associated
biological material. It will be of great importance for DIA to contact these
individuals and to obtain the maximum information from them. BAASS can
supply the names and contact information for each person.
8) Agency should assist BAASS wherever, whenever possible in the long term
program of outreaching and collaboration with select foreign sources including
governments. Various foreign contact relationships already exist among
several BAASS senior personnel and other outside associates. It is
substantiated with testimony that several "crashes" of novel spacecraft have
occurred outside of the United States. Our concern addresses the level to
which other countries have already succeeded in understanding the technical
aspects of these craft. Even more impressive, would be any successes
concerning back-engineering of various components.
In so far as this "crash" information is decades old, we have no idea what
progress has been accomplished to date. However, we do know that various
heads of state in other countries have a different view toward this subject of
novel spacecraft than do American heads of state. While "official" American
Page 6

or used without prior wr itte11 co11se11t fr on, the Operating Mar,ager ef BAAss•.
behavior has taken the "head in the sand" approach, we krnow that has not
been the universal reaction in other countries. Our military future could be
seriously influenced.
9) Under the premise that biological material of potentially non-human origin
has been recov,ered, at the earliest available opportunity DIA will lobby via
interagency connections for access to medical samples for evaluation by
BAASS affiliated forensic personnel with such laboratories as the Armed Forces
Institute of Pathology (AFIP); the various commands housed at Fort Detrick,
e.g., U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command {USAMRMC) with its
Bio-defense Agency, and the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of
Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID); Dugway Proving Ground's U.S. Army Test and
Evaluation Command (ATEC).
10) Via DIA contact with NORAD by February 15, 2009, with data on
trajectory and speed from uncorrelated targets having been made available to
BAASS analysts, we will conduct a detailed evaluation on said data to mine it
for information pertaining to Lift, Propulsion, Control, Power Generation,
Spatial Temporal Translation, Materials, Configuration/Structure, Signature
reduction, or Armaments.

INTRODUCTION
Scope of Final Report Incorporating each Technical Area
This Program Manager Report (PMR) accomplishes the requirement to
submit a report as part of the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Application
contract HHM402-08-C-0072. This report comprises overview papers identifying
the scope of the final report (due in September 2009) for each of the 12 following
areas: (1) Lift, (2) Propulsion, (3) Control, (4) Power Generation, (5) Spatial
Temporal Translation, (6) Materials, (7) Configuration/Structure, (8) Signature
Reduction (Optical/lR/RF/Acoustic), (9) Human Interface, (10) Human Effects, (11)
Armament (RF and DEW) and (12) Other areas in Support of 1-11. Secondly this
PMR addresses a Plan of Action and Milestones that encompasses the 12 areas.
Finally, the PMR addresses the intended composition of the BAASS analytical
teams that will work on these areas.
The objective of the overall program is to understand the physics and
engineering of advanced aerospace weapon system applications as they apply to
potential foreign threats out to the far term, e.g., from now through the year
2050.
Underlining the gravitas of the anomalous aerospace vehicle subject,
according to Earthtech Report #7, page 2: "With regard to yet more exotic
possibilities for craft configurations and flight performance, it would be remiss to
overlook observations of apparently advanced unconventional craft reported by
credible observers (e.g. military and civilian pilots) for several decades (9,10). The
so-called UFO phenomenon. Despite the overreaction and sernsationalism of the
public which led to the CIA initiated policy via th~ 1843(a)(2) Ito debunk the
subject as a safeguard against clogging of communication channels [11), the
subject has been treated seriously in a congressional hearing-1968!1843(a)(2) I
l1843(a)(2) I[12]- and in a document prepared for

or used without prior wr itte11 co11se11t from the Operating Manager ef BAAss•.
congressional briefings by the Congressional Research Service (13)." Note:
numbers inside parentheses refer to references in the Earthtech report #7.
In order to meaningfully tackle the subject areas outlined in the above 12
technical topics, BAASS has been compelled to focus on those projects that are
feasible given the current timelines and budget allocations for this contract. The
three sets of papers that have been submitted to the agency by MUFON,
Earthtech and bylAAP Person 8 Icovered an enormous number of possible
directions as they sought to address the above 12 t echnical areas. BAASS
personnel judged it impossible logistica lly to embrace fill of the recommendations
in these technical papers as reasonable achievables. Many of the projects could
take greater than several decades to accomplish and possibly billions of dollars.
Accordingly, BAASS has chosen eight specific projects to focus on during the
first and second years of this contract. We consider that the probability of success
of these nine projects within a 12 or 24 month time frame and within the
allocated budgets is maximized. Therefore, the objectives, methodologies,
milestones and team compositions for each of the nine projects are laid out in
detail in the next section of this Project management Report. Very recently, DIA
has mandated the creation of a ninth project, that we call Project Physics (see
page 11), in which the current research in universities and research institutes on
all twelve technical areas will be studied.
It should be stated at the outset that we deliberat ely adopted the stance
that the most productive way to learn the maximum about the twelve technical
areas was to study craft that are already displaying novel behavior in the twelve
technical areas. Hence, with the exception of the DIA mandated Project Physics
(see page 11) BAASS's resources will not be devoted to studying th e current
"state of the art" of technology in our university system and research institutes.
This latter approach could prove fruitless and waste significant t ime and money.

PLANS OF ACTION WITH MILESTONES
AND TEAM COMPOSITIONS
PROJECT PHYSICS
This project will cover all twelve technical areas.
Objectives
In November 2008, Earthtech delivered 12 Technical Studies that
recommended a wide ranging array of approaches to address the physics and
engineering f easibility of advanced aerospace weapons system application as they
apply to the potential future capabilities of foreign threat systems out to the far
term i.e. from now through 2050. The 12 Technical Studies addressed: Lift,
Propulsion, Control, Power Generation, Spatial/Temporal Translation, Materials,
Configuration/Structure, Signature Reduction, Human Interface, Human Effects,
Armament and Other Areas. Many of the approaches recommended in the 12
Earthtech Technical Studies are highly theoretical. Even with virtually unlimited
buckets of time and money it is impossible to predict which, if any, of these
approaches might yield a physica l demonstration that para llels the behavior of
novel spacecraft already known to exist.
However, through recent consultations between the DIA and BAASS, it has
been decided that a new series of position papers shall focus on an in-depth
treatment of subsets of each of the twelve technical areas. For the sake of
thoroughness, the Agency and BAASS have decided that on the remote chance a
six month exploratory effort may revea l significant progress in one or more of the
twelve technical areas, BAASS shall proceed w it h Project Physics. Perhaps this
Page 10
I his information is prop1 ieta, y a11d coRfidential and cannot be dissernioatec:l
er used witAeut 13rier written eensent frern tAe Operating Manager of BAAss•.
research could explain some aspect of behavior over the last six decades of very
advanced spacecraft already known to exist. BAASS is contracting with Earthtech
for an in-depth six month study to locate through any sources at Earthtech's
disposal any information on these more prosaic approaches that have been
kicked about for some period of years.
Accordingly, the objective of Project Physics is for Earthtech and its
subcontractors to produce approximately 24 position papers that are
comprehensive treatments of more than one approach for each of the 12
technical areas.
Methodology
Earthtech will choose the precise nature and scope of the approximately 24
position papers that will encompass the 12 technical areas {Lift, Propulsion,
Control, Power Generation, Spatial/Temporal Translation, Materials,
Configuration/Structure, Signature Reduction, Human Interface, Human Effects,
Armament and Other Areas).
Either through in-house physicists or external physics/engineering
contractors, Earthtech will deliver the approximately 24 position papers that will
be based on expanding and focusing on strategically important sub-projects from
the 12 position papers that Earthtech already has delivered .
Milestones
Earthtech will deliver approximately 24 position papers to BAASS on or
before July 31, 2009.

PROJECT ENGAGEMENT
This program shall endeavor to locate possible small geographical areas
where novel spacecraft seem to frequent. This program would specifically relate
to technical area #9 with possible collateral involvement of other t echnical areas.
Objectives
In spite of having confirmation that a significant menu of very novel
spacecraft have existed for over 60 years and travel anywhere, anytime, there is
no officially reliable data as to who pilot these craft, how they are made, where is
their place of origin and why they are here. Until actual materials are obtained,
we must rely on more indirect means. However, on the slim chance that some
geographic areas could be found where " regular" flights of these craft were
occurring, it might be possible to implement a pro-active program, actually
seeking some form of engagement. M embers of BAASS have some previous
experience in this regard. This will be a very unpredictable program. It also could
be risky for the participants. And it could be finan cially expensive.
However, the potential gain could be unlimited and that is why we are
offering this plan.
The first obj ective would be to locate, choose and secure possible sites.
Concurrent with this activity would be the engagement of BAASS staff and outside
contractors to properly strategize various approach scenarios. As new site
opportunities were recognized by BAASS staff, possibly due to the immediate
nature of the spacecraft performances, expansion of this program would occur
domestically and to foreign locations over time.
The second objective is to gather as much data as possible through
observation of the craft. This is not as easy as it sounds. The authors of this
Page 13
i his information is proprietary a11d co11fidential and cannot be disseminated
or used without prior writteri coriserit fror:n the Op,m 1tirig Mrrnager of BA.A.SS•.
overview paper can ratify this point. To successfully gather useful data from
observations requires cooperation from the spacecraft. Performances must
necessarily be continued. The acquisition and implementation of very
sophisticated equipment is a challenge. Having the right people and enough
human resources in vital. The entire effort requires flexibility, inventiveness and
patience. But the rewards lead to the possibility of a successful third objective.
The third objective would be Communication and or Contact. (This is not,
by the way, a novel idea. It is our understanding that select communications and
contact between the operators of these spacecraft and interested parties within
this country started many years ago.) The authors of this paper would suggest
approaches that would encompass diverse methods.
Methodology
Some previous efforts produced effects that could be interpreted as
marginal but with positive results. Multiple human witnesses were involved in
many dozens of successful efforts. These intensified in 2007 and 2008. Hundreds
of photographs, indoors and outdoors using multiple digital cameras, were taken
showing anomalistic features. With most of this activity, we were not the
initiators of these contacts. Our function was more catalytic in nature. In the vast
majority of contacts, we were acted upon. That is to say, having placed ourselves
in residency at the location for a substantial period of time, we began to
"participate" in what we considered games and demonstrations, but, usually we
were caught by surprise.
The methods of communication or contact could encompass a wide variety
of approaches. From the use of various hardware to engaging people as cognitive
interactive subjects. We have previouslly tried both.
Page 14
This Information is proprietary arrd corrfiderrtial aud cannot be disseminated
or used without prior writteA coAseAt froFA the OperatiAg MaAager of BAASS5 .
Milestones
We shall initiate the process of identifying possible geographic locations of
current or recent past activity during the first quarter of 2009. Also at that time,
we shall convene one of several workshops as an ongoing process to plan and
strategize approaches and program structure. Of necessity, it is anticipated that
project engagement will require multiple years of focused resources and funding,
potentially extending into and beyond 2011.
Also, we shall engage outside contractors during this time to conduct
specific tasks.
Team Composition
Finding and fitting the appropriate type of people to this assignment will be
most difficult for many reasons. Fortunately, BAASS's sister company Bigelow
Aerospace (in addition to BAASS) currently has in its employ a few people that
already have some experience and can help initiate the program. However,
numerous other people will be needed to augment BA's and BAASS's small force
in addition to the BAASS Administrator and Deputy Administrator. Supplemental
to eventually having several in house teams, contracting for outside assistance
will be necessary. The BAASS Administrator and Deputy Administrator have had
previous experience in contracting for this type of observation activity. This type
of field work, while very awkward for the Agency to say the least, is something
well suited for BAASS.

PROJECT COOPERATION
Project Cooperation is the program that could be the most important of all
Plans of Action. As previously list ed under Key Recommendations, in order to not
waste time, in order to not waste mone,y, in order t o make this overall program
the most productive for which the RFP was constructed and paid for by the
Sponsors, the Agency needs to be successful in its ability t o assist BAASS in th e
acquisition of film, hardware, relevant materials and information currently under
Government and Agency influence and control. This should include other
relationships the Agency has with other organizations. We acknowledge that we
have been t old several times this effort will be forthcoming with our help and look
to this with great expectation.
Objectives
Since proper clearance activity has been initiated for the BAASS
Administrator and others, the first st ep is something the Agency can take now.
According t o t he schedule BAASS has been given, there is no time to waste.
Concurrent with the clearance approval process, the Agency can begin to make
inquiries w ithin itself as the Agency has already said is the first logical place t o
begin.
By the time the Agency has dug down t o discover its own the quality
sources, clearance shou ld be approved at least for th e BAAS$ Administrator. The
second step would be for a meeting between the Agency and the Administrator
for discussion and creation of strategy purposes.
The third objective is for BAASS to marshal human and financial resources
into this Cooperation Program.
Page 16

or used without prior w, itte11 consent fr 0111 tire Ope, ati11g Manager of BAAss•.
Methodology
Project Cooperation will initiate with the receipt of clearances by the BAASS
Administrator. However, while the clearance process is underway, the agency will
be focused on uncovering the many sources of information and leads on the topic
of anomalous aerospace vehicle performance that reside within its own data
archives. This internal agency dataset could provide a very rich source of
pertinent information.
Next, the agency, the BAASS Administrator and other appropriately cleared
BAAS$ personnel will cooperate in (a) seeking out and securing the materials that
avoided Project Bluebook, (b) the high value people with valuable information for
interviews, (c) the location and content of the files pertaining to the Northern
Tier-missile AFB sightings, (d) the ground-based, satellite based and gun camera
film/ imagery residing at multiple locations and (e) the files from the Brazilian
Colares Island incidents involving multiple injuries/deaths from anomalous
aerospace vehicles in 1977. All of these directions are discussed in more detail in
the subsequent sections of this report.
Milestones
The first milestone is identified as the joint efforts of the Administrator
acquiring needed clearance, hopefully by January 2009 and the Agency obtaining
relevant subst antive information etc. to share that requires SCI or Top Secret
Clearance.
The second milestone would encompass the meeting previously
mentioned . This meeting needs to occur as soon as possible after the first
milestone is accomplished. Prior to this meet ing th ere will be the necessity to
develop a satisfactory procedure/process for the delivery of materials,
information etc. to BAASS.

or used without p, io1 w, itte11 co11se11t f10111 the Operating Manager of BAASS11.
This program phase called Project Cooperation cannot be over emphasized
in its importance. A thorough data-mining of potential information location
needs to begin immediately.
If successful this project would substantially contribute ito all twelve
technical areas.
Depending on the speed of cooperation between DIA and BAASS, it is
anticipated that this project will extend beyond 2009 and into 2010 and 2011.
Team Composition
The lead for this project shall be the BAASS Administrator as this may
represent the most important Plan of Action. Supporting the Administrator in the
beginning will be key individuals such as:

PROJECT CAMPUS
This program will seek to involve all twelve technical areas (Lift, Propulsion,
Control, Power generation, Spatial/Temporal Translation, Materials,
Configuration/Structure, Signature Reduction (Optical/lR/RF/Acoustic), Human
Interface, Human Effects, Armament (RF and DEW), Other Areas.
Objectives
The first objective is to stimulate, motivate and encourage the senior levels
of the academic community within the United States to involve themselves in
study and research of very advanced aerial spacecraft that is presently considered
phenomenological.
In this effort, it is this program's intention to lay the seeds for serious
exploration of this topic within the national academic community at its highest
levels. After six decades of overt, blatant conspicuous and obtrusive global
performance by very advanced anomalously behaving spacecraft, the academic
community is still successful in maintaining the posture that these spacecraft
either don't exist or are not worthy of serious research and study. Foundationally,
there still remains a giggle factor which has been instrumental in squashing
seriou s consideration and thought.
The second objective is to extract from this large untapped body of
resource information not previously obtained.
The third objective is to stay ahead, or worse, catch up ito the similar efforts
that may already be underway in foreign countries. It is our opinion that such
research efforts conducted on a significant scale in foreign countries could/would
Page 19

er l-.lsed witROl-.lt prier written consent from tl:le Operating Manager of B.A.A.ss•.
eventually pose a threat to US national security. Such a significant program
would/could provide a serious positive stimulus to academic research in science
and math thus furthering the military capabilities of those countries.
Our concern is that the top universities/technical institutes in some foreign
countries MAY take this subject more seriously than we do in the United States
and hence MAY already have devoted significant resources to their study. Project
Campus will seek to help ameliorate this putative technological gap.
Methodology
The first priority is for BAASS to create a sophisticated program of grants
that is designed to stimulate the academic community to take the subject of
advanced aerospace vehicles seriously. BAASS will engineer a series of RFPs that
are directed at universities in the United States. The RFPs will unambiguously
emphasize the urgent need to study unconventional advanced aircraft with
respect to aerospace engineering, theoretical and applied physics, advanced
materials science etc. All prospective applicants will file a statement of intent that
will comprise a brief overview of what they intend to do. In this way, research
that is proposed that is judged by BAASS to be insufficiently ground breaking,
advanced or breakthrough will be quickly terminated without the need to waste
precious resources in grant allocation.
BAASS will appoint a grant monitors who w ill work with the Pl to ensure
that the submitted proposal is of the highest quality and importantly is on target
to address one of the twelve criteria.
Milestones
The first milestone, approximate delivery date February 28, 2009, will be

Administrator, the comprehensive detailed strategy for reaching out to the
academic community in the United States. This will take the form of design of
RFPs and design of Letter of Intent (LOI) solicitations.
A realistic projection from BAASS is that the milestones in the project
should encompass at least three years of effort. Academic turnaround is
demonstrably slow.

PROJECT DATABASE
This program will address all twelve technical areas.
Objectives
For six decades there have been displays of advanced aerospace vehicles in
the skies of North America and around the world that have been witnessed by
thousands of people, including military pilots and ground crews, civil aviation
pilots, law enforcement officers and members 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 twenty smaller databases in the United
States and over a dozen more 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 parameters.
This BAASS project seeks to eliminate this shortcoming. The objective is to create
the world's first comprehensive high quality searchable database of advanced
aerial technology maneuvers.
Methodology
For BAASS, the establishment of a " meta-database" of advanced aerospace
technology interactions with humans, comprising a subset from over twenty
known datasets from the public domain will be in place in the first year of
operations. The BAASS database will include the highest quality, calibrat ed, close
encounter datasets already merged and searchable by keywords from a subset of
publicly available databases. It is anticipated that the end result of the worldwide
database collection will result s in thousands of different high quality aerospace

o, used witl,out prior written consent frnm the Operatiflg Manager ef BM.SS• .
technology cases. The BAASS database will be searchable with keywords
specifically designed to interrogate for: Lift, Propulsion, Control, Power
Generation, Spatial temporal translation, Materials, Configuration/Structure,
Signature Reduction (Optical/lR/RF/Acoustic), Human Interface, Human Effects,
Armament, Other areas.
Extending into 2010, BAASS will create a series of liaisons to obtain the
highest quality cases of advanced aerospace vehicle activity from the Ministry of
Defense (MoD) in the UK (release of some files into the public domain was
initiated by the UK MoD in 2008), from high level officials in France, from military
liaisons in Belgium. Secondly, we will establish contacts with high level
individuals/ in the Brazilian, Peruvian, Chilean and Argentine air forces, all four of
which have had multiple reports of activity in their air spaces, some of which have
leaked into th e public domain. Thirdly, BAASS will purchase, download, or
otherwise acquire databases pertaining to advanced aerospace activity from
Australia, Scandinavia, Germany and other countries.
Milestones
By June 30 2009, BAASS will purchase, download or initiate negotiations to
acquire a subset of the approximately 20 databases, including those created by
NIDS, MUFON, UFOCAT, GEIPAN and NARCAP. Initially, these databases will be
purged of all cases that do not conform to BAASS requirements. The objective is
to use only the close encounter cases with multiple witnesses as starting points
for database analysis. The milestones as a part of the international outreach in
this project will likely extend into 2010 and 2011.

ORAL HISTORY PROJECT
This program will involve all twelve technical areas.
Objectives
Important information regarding the performance, properties, and even
composition of advanced aerospace technology resides in the minds and
memories of dozens of highly placed retired individuals, many of whom are
known to BAASS affiliated personnel. These individuals because of their work
places and special projects collectively have an in depth specific knowledge of the
properties of adva1nced aerospace technology. Many of these individuals are
currently at an advanced age and under the appropriate circumstances will be
willing to transfer their information to BAASS affiliated personnel as a part of the
oral history project.
Methodology
A rigorous protocol for interviewing these high value people will be created
by BAASS staff. The purpose of the protocol is to extract the maximum amount of
relevant information from these individua ls. Since these interviewees may be
relatively unwilling to divulge all information in their possession, a great deal of
care will be taken in broaching the subject with these individuals.
Milestones
By the end of the first six months of operations, BAASS staff, BAASS
affiliated staff and DIA personnel will have identified and connected with a cadre

of high value people and will have commenced recorded interviews with these
individuals. As more and more high value individuals are identified, contracted
and interviewed, we view the milestones in this project extending into 2010/
2011 and beyond.

PROJECT BLUE BOOK MATERIALS
This project will cover all twelve technical areas.
Objectives
It is known to BAASS personnel that a comprehensive group of files of
advanced aerospace activity, documented by several branches of the United
States military, exists in a secure location at Los Alamos National Labs (LANL).
These files are known to have been excluded from Project Blue Book (the official
Air Force project that studied advanced aerospace vehicles in the 1960s), and
likely represent that subset of cases that directly impacted United States military
personnel, equipment, armaments, and thus these files may constitute evidence
of a threat. Secondly, BAASS sources indicate that there may be physical trace
evidence associated with some of these incidents and that these materials are
also in the same location at LANL. Since some of these files are relevant to all
twelve technical study areas as they pertain to advanced aerospace vehicles, as a
first priority DIA will secure these files in total and transmit them to appropriately
cleared BAASS personnel.
Methodology
DIA personnel will be apprised of (by BAASS staff) the exact file names, file
numbers and precise locations of the documents in question. DIA personnel will
then secure these files.

Milestones
By February 1, 2009, DIA staff will have been apprised by BAAS$ affiliated
personnel of the file numbers, exact locations of the advanced aerial phenomena
cases that did not make it into Project Bluebook. It is difficult to estimate the
length of time required for DIA staff to secure these materials and to pass them in
a secure manner to appropriately cleared BAAS$ staff. Since we only know the
precise locations of a portion of these files, it may take significant time, possibly
extending past 2010/2011 to locate and secure the remainder.

PROJECT NORTHERN TIER
This project will cover technical study 11: Armament.
Objectives
Beginning in the 1960s, there were numerous well documented sightings
by multiple AFB personnel and pilots of incursions into the airspace over the
"Northern Tier" air force bases in the United States by advanced aerospace
vehicles of unknown origin. Incursions into restricted air space, hovering over
nuclear armament locations, interference with ICBM functional integrity or some
combination occurred at Malmstrom AFB MT, Loring AFB ME, Wurtsmith AFB Ml,
Minot AFB ND, and Kirtland AFB NM during the 1960's and 1970s. Subsequently, a
well known incursion event occurred at RAF Bentwaters under the jurisdiction of
the USAF in December 1980 in which allegedly trace radioactivity was measured
at the site. All of these incursions by aircraft displaying advanced aerospace
technology could have represented a threat to the United States.
Methodology
With urgent effort, DIA will obtain the full set of Strategic Air Command
(SAC)/other organ1ization records from each of these AFB incursion incidents and
w ill have transmitted them to appropriately cleared BAAS$ personnel. It should
be noted that some of these incidents of incursions into Air Force bases were
partially reported in Project Blue Book (for example an October 1968 incident
involving a 300 foot long advanced aerospace vehicle at Minot AFB in North
Dakota was reported to Project Blue Book however, by far the most

salient information regarding national security was absent from Project Blue
Book files of the Minot AFB incident), but significant amounts of the important
details were elided, omitted or obscured .
Milestones
By March 10, 2009 BAASS affiliated personnel in collaboration with DIA
personnel w ill have located the files that pertain to th e Northern Tier sightings.
Since expurgated versions of some of these cases already exist in th e Project
Bluebook files, these cases w ill initially be used to identify the locations and
accession numbers of the full dat aset s. BAASS personnel are already aware of
over a dozen potential incidents involving over six AFB's. We anticipat e that it will
take over a year, potentially extending into 2010/ 2011 to locate, secure and
transfer all pertinent data.

PROJECT COLARES
This project will cover technical area 10: Human effects objective.
Objectives
In 1977, the Brazilian island of Colares was the scene for some of th e most
aggressive close encounters ever record ed in the open literature. Only a minority
of the Island's city of Cola res' approximately 2,000 inhabitants would be spared
the light beams shot to the ground by many various flying objects. A number of
residents managed to take photographs of the flying aerospace vehicles, or
"chupa-chupas," as the locals called them. From June - December 1977, scores of
reports of unknown, flying object s w ith many different variations of shape and
size were collected. There were sightings of small and large aerospace vehicles of
advanced design, cigar-shaped, saucer-shaped, and more. Some of the objects
were luminous, some were not, but all of them had lethal potential. One of th e
physicians who had treated the victims wa~ 1843(a)(2> II -1-184
. . .~~~)(2)
l
1843 2
(a)( ) !wrote: "All of them had suffered lesions to the face or the thoracic
area." The lesions, looking like radiation injuries, " began with intense reddening
of the skin in the affected area. Later t he hair would fall out and the skin would
turn black. There was no pain, only a slight warmth. One also not iced small
puncture marks in th e skin. The victims were men and women of varying ages,
without any pattern." Therefore, many of the interactions between humans and
adva nced aerospace vehicles in the Colares Brazil sightings in the 1970s resulted
in deaths and injuries. The Colares events unquestionably constituted a threat, in
some cases a lethal threat, both to Brazilian air space and to Brazilian citizens.
During the several month period, representatives from the Brazilian Air Force
were dispatched to the area and they t ook photographs of th e objects and
Page 31

oc nsed witbo!lt prior written r;;on$ent from the Operating Manager ef 8.A..A.SS•.
recorded voluminous 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 will be made through DIA sources to
arrange for access from the Brazilian air force of the full set of classified files
concerning the Cola res Island events, including their translation from Portuguese
into English. The set of files should include all of the medical records from the
individuals who died during this period as a result of interactions with the beams
of light.

BAASS personnel can ascertain her whereabouts and interview her in depth
regarding the events of 1977, including receiving from her any medical records
that she might have in her possession.
Thirdly, according t9AAP Person 5 lin "Confrontations", a portion of the
extensive files from the Brazilian Air Force investigation may have been
transferred to the United States. In collaboration with DIA people, BAASS
researchers should elucidate the precise location and ownership of these files and
determine whether they are transferable. If transferable, BAASS will arrange for
the files t o be translated from Portuguese to English.

Milestones
By March 15, 2009 it is anticipated that DIA personnel in collaboration with
BAASS staff will have located the files pertaining to the Colares events. As of
December 2008, p,arts of the files are known to be in Brazil, and are the property
of the Brazilian Air Force. Approximately 200 pages of these files, in Portuguese,
have been posted on the Internet (http://www.ufo.com.br/documentop.php).
BAASS staff will ca lib rate the chain of custody and provenance of th ese Internet
files and if validated, they will be translated from Portuguese into English by BASS
contract. This initial project will happen in the first quarter of 2009. Since these
files are located in multiple areas, potentially in more than one country we
anticipate that this process could extend into 2010/2011.

CONCLUDING COMMENTS
Countless numbers of very novel spacecraft of a wide variety of shapes and
sizes have conducted intensive demonstration, exhibitions and interactions across
this planet during the last sixty-five years. Therefore, we do not have to look too
far to imagine what types of capabilities, and characteristics we would wish our
own spacecraft possessed regarding the twelve technical areas: lift, propulsion,
·control, power generation, spatial/temporal translation, materials,
configuration/structure, signature reduction, human interface, human effect s,
armament, and other peripheral areas in support that comprise the focus of this
contract.
If we wish to have spacecraft that emulate the performance characteristics of
these unknown spacecraft already moving freely in our public and secure
airspace, then this program must necessarily acquire the ability to have a closer
look.
It is imperative that physical access be obtained to actual hardware of the
anomalous spacecraft that appear to be many decades or centuri es beyond
anything we have. Whatever country is able to reproduce first the type of
spacecraft hardware that we see being exhibited in these "paranormal"
spacecraft, shall secure its space explorations and military future.
Our first concern is where on this planet has the most progress already been
made in regard to efforts of reproduction.
We expect to implement in this first year an aggressive start in establishing
this new program through Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Stud ies. As you
have already seen in just this short time, we move very quickly.
Our domestic efforts will rapidly expa nd this fiscal year and position BAASS for
an aggressive push into foreign countries. We will need the money

necessary to make purchases of hardware that we think is in foreign hands and to
position BAASS to have a global reach. Should we make the opportunities happen
where we can obtain physical hardware, we expect to mount a very targeted
effort toward back-engineering these materials and/or devices.
