2018 in UFO history — the UAP Timeline records 10 events in 2018, mostly about secrecy & cover-up and crashes & retrievals. People named in these events include Harold Puthoff, Eric W. Davis, Christopher "Kit" Green, Jacques Vallée, Linda Moulton Howe.
Overview
After the December 2017 revelations, 2018 saw private efforts to study claimed UFO material and growing talk of hidden "legacy programs." Former Lockheed astrophysicist Bernard Haisch said that four related but separate unacknowledged programs, dating back to a 1947 Truman memorandum, still existed. He said they had been housed in the 1990s at major aerospace companies, with combined budgets of around $10 billion a year, and covered both reverse engineering and alien biology.[1] He said AATIP had found the crash-retrieval program through official channels but was denied access because AATIP itself was not a special access program, and that the Pentagon refused Senator Harry Reid's request to make it one.[1]
In July To The Stars Academy launched its A.D.A.M. Research Project to study "exotic metamaterials" said to come from UFOs. The company bought alleged UFO materials for study.[2] On 16 August a TTSA statement of work sought Harold Puthoff's EarthTech International to study "potentially exotic materials."[2] See A.D.A.M. project. On 24 June AATIP scientist Eric Davis said EarthTech, BAASS and an aerospace company had collaborated after AATIP's funding ran out. On 28 October he said on radio that a 1950s crash at Del Rio, Texas, had been a real retrieval.[3][2]
On 29 November the JASON advisory group, in a classified study, said it could not find a single plausible energy source that would explain all the symptoms reported by U.S. personnel with "Havana Syndrome."[2] Other 2018 entries include anonymous websites describing an "XViS" system for analysing UFO effects on people, a remote viewer's claims about "Omega" operations, and Rendlesham witness John Burroughs's account of meditation advice from Christopher "Kit" Green.[3][4]
