AAWSAP & the DIRD Reports: 44 Declassified UFO Files

In July 2008 the Defense Intelligence Agency set out to study foreign breakthrough aerospace technology "through the year 2050," in areas from lift and propulsion to signature reduction. In September 2008 it awarded contract HHM402-08-C-0072, worth $21,948,810, to Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies of Las Vegas. Five modifications followed through September 2010. The work produced 37 Defense Intelligence Reference Documents (DIRDs), starting in December 2009, on subjects from metallic glasses to warp drive.

What stands out

This batch of AAWSAP DIRDs is a cheat‑sheet of the Pentagon’s favorite sci‑fi buzzwords, all stamped with the bland certainty of a bureaucracy. Expect glossy PDFs that read like graduate‑level speculation masquerading as “baseline knowledge.”

  1. DOW-UAP-D128 — AAWSAP DIRD, Anomalous Acute and Subacute Field Effects on Human Biological Tissues, March 2010 — Describes anomalous acute/subacute effects on human tissue—because nothing says ‘official’ like filing the weird stuff under ‘biological impacts.’
  2. DOW-UAP-D139 — AAWSAP DIRD, Traversable Wormholes, Stargates, and Negative Energy, April 2010 — Details traversable wormholes, stargates, and negative energy—perfect for anyone hoping the U.S. already has a ‘back door’ to hyperspace.
  3. DOW-UAP-D141 — AAWSAP DIRD, Metamaterials for Aerospace Applications, April 2010 — Covers metamaterials for aerospace, the tech that promises invisible planes—because cloaking is cooler than admitting you’re just hiding budget cuts.
