Description

While on the surface (minus the craft picture on the cover lol) it doesn’t seem like much, the following parts stood out to me:

Underground vault for recovered hardware and biological samples
BAASS planned a heavily secured underground vault because it wanted the capability to acquire and store “recovered hardware and biological samples” and “exotic material or tissue.”

Preparation for analyzing “exotic hardware”
The physics division was tasked with designing analytical protocols “in the event that BAASS acquires exotic hardware.”

Top Secret / SCI clearances
Multiple senior personnel held TS/SCI clearances and the facility obtained Top Secret clearance status.

That doesn’t imply aliens, but it does imply government-linked classified work.

The 12 research categories
The contract called for research into things like propulsion, lift, power generation, materials, signature reduction, human effects, and even “spatial/temporal translation.”

Goal of extracting engineering clues from UAP reports
Investigators were instructed to collect technical details that might yield “valuable physics and engineering clues regarding the performance of these exotic aerospace vehicles.”

Dedicated effort to locate technology
The Special Investigations Division explicitly says its purpose is to target technology represented by or associated with UAPs.

Later it says investigators seek evidence and information that enhance the possibility of “locating technology.”

Evidence collection protocols for unusual materials
They created procedures for collecting metallic objects, biological samples, radiation measurements, electromagnetic readings, soil samples, and potential artifacts.

Human biological effects
The biology team was tasked with studying physiological and pathological effects on humans and using those effects to infer properties of the underlying technology.

Counterintelligence emphasis
The report repeatedly stresses protection from foreign intelligence collection and industrial espionage.

And this is from 2009. Imagine a new one…

This is available on Google if anyone is curious.
