This apparently was leaked or released just recently. It's quite long and full of some pretty dry stuff like SOPs and operational parameters, but it can be downloaded here. I'm just going to post some interesting quotes and provide some commentary.

The first thing I'll point out is that Hal Puthoff and Jacques Vallee are both listed as contractors to BAASS and they feature heavily in the projects. It also lists Eric Davis, but I don't know much about him other than he's a physicist that works on classified things.

Quote:The need for a highly secure underground vault operated by BAASS became apparent in line with a BAASS priority to pursue and acquire recovered hardware and biological samples from the corporate world and/or from private individuals and groups located elsewhere, including Brazil.

For context the report later mentions releases from Brazil covering UAP encounters. The most significant case I can think of would be the much discussed Varginha incident, which was covered in a recent documentary by James Fox Moment of Contact. There's been enough information available about the incident that it seems clear something happened there, but I don't know that it's clear exactly what. Rumors of crashes, captured aliens, and other similar stories have made their way around. Later in the document it becomes clear they're actually talking about Colares.

Quote:Since UAP field effects on biological organisms (soil bacteria, insects, plants, animals and humans) all have widely disparate methods of being detected, the BAASS biological division is tasked with researching the best available methodologies for gleaning information on the effects of UAP fields on biological organisms.

This seems to agree with many sources that indicate adverse effects from close proximity to UAPs during encounters.

Quote:A highlight of this year occurred in April when Dr. Christopher Green presented an eight hour lecture and discussion focused on his previous work investigating and studying various phenomena.

Dr. Christopher Green is presumably the same discussed in this article on UAP encounters and the harm they can cause. It mentioned a $22M secret defense contract to study it, which may actually be under the BAASS umbrella.

Quote:The BAASS mission being to identify and exploit technology discovered through the investigation of Unexplained Aerial Phenomenon (UAP)

Quote:In February 2009, BAASS executed a Purchase order with MUFON that entitles BAASS to: (a) receive notification of significant reports on UAP sightings from anywhere in the United States within hours, (b) receive timely reports from
MUFON investigators regarding investigations of these incidents © receive physical evidence (including photographs, digital recordings, samples of soil, insects, plants, and animals) for scientific analysis. BAASS has multiple laboratories that are ready to conduct forensic, photographic, metallurgic, chemical, isotopic, biological and chemical analysis of any specimens that BAASS receives from MUFON.

I found this interesting, but I don't know enough about MUFON to know if this contract and profiting is scandalous or not.

Quote:During this trip numerous unidentified flying objects were witnessed by all three Investigators. Even with the use of night vision and thermal imagers the Investigators could not make a positive identification of the objects. It is the Investigators belief, which is based on their training and experience, the witnessed objects can be explained as satellites,
commercial and/or military aircraft. Upon return to BAASS, Investigators researched satellite tracking via the internet and learned that Satellites, Genesis I and Genesis II, belonging to Bigelow Aerospace may have flown over Trout Lake,
WA (Sattva Ranch) on these days. In addition, Investigators contacted Bigelow Aerospace Mission Control to confirm the information. This information showed Genesis I and Genesis II had flown directly over our location during the same

This was an investigation of the ECETI Ranch which is not too far from me. What I find hilarious is that the clandestine operatives working in secret for Bigelow Aerospace on UAP black projects, observed "UAP" satellites actually owned by Bigelow.

You can't make this shit up. These were investigators that were sent to the ranch without disclosing that they were investigating, talking to other people there, photographing them. Really sketchy behavior IMHO when most of these people will talk to anyone that will listen.

Quote:It should be noted that several of the attendees participated in the usage of some type of hallucinogenic substance during the seances. This was witnessed and verified by an Investigator. The same people who used the substances
claimed to observe the crafts making moves, turns and altitude changes that we did not witness.

NARCS, lol.

There's a whole section covering investigations, which includes incident reports from the Nimitz Tic Tac and RAF Lakenheath encounter involving the military. Many of the cases were determined to be explained by conventional craft, but there are others with strange encounters that obviously couldn't be a conventional craft. Two people driving in Texas had a bright object approach, then enter their car with both being deaf and blinded by a white light for the duration of the encounter. One witness suspects they lost about an hour of time as well.

Quote:The 480 acre property was intensively studied by deploying scientific personnel and sensor equipment between 1996 and 2002. This six year study resulted in the documentation of about seventy different anomalous incidents, including sightings of several different types and shapes of flying objects, multiple colored orbs, unexplained death and disappearance of dozens of animals, poltergeist phenomena, discarnate voices, unusual creatures and assorted
paranormal activity.

Many of the events on the Utah ranch appeared to provide evidence of anomalous interactions with the consciousness of observers.

Skinwalker Ranch...

Quote:After several attempts, the following narrative emerged from DIA regarding the location of paper files at the agency. Dr. Jim Lacatski informed BAASS that during the early 1990s as a part of transitioning from paper to electronic files, the DIA had destroyed thousands, perhaps millions, of paper files (some of which doubtless pertained to reports on the
performance of advanced aerospace vehicles) around the United States and around the world. Even more surprising, electronic copies were made of only a small minority of these files prior to their destruction.

Destroying evidence... the US government... no way.

There's pretty extensive documentation on a few different incidents, but I'll leave that to the real UFO folks to filter through for points of interest. I don't know enough about them to pick out what might be new or interesting.

There were abstracts for a number of academic papers that BAASS sponsored or requested. Topics included zero-point or vacuum energy, micro-fusion, human-machine interfaces, metamaterials, and consciousness related topics. There were more than 20 in all, I believe. Bigelow went on, after this, to set up grants for researching life after death. I think that started in the late teens or early 20's.

All in all, nothing that surprises me too much... though I'm a little hard to surprise.

It was scandalous alright. Someone in MUFON sold out to Bigelow and BAASS under shady circumstances.

Bigelow and BAASS' involvement with MUFON was a big subject within the ATS UFO Forum.

Quote:MUFON US-based non-profit organization composed of civilian volunteers who study reported UFO sightings. It is one of the oldest and largest organizations of its kind, claiming more than 4,000 members worldwide with chapters and representatives in more than 43 countries and all 50 United States. - Via Wikipedia.

Someone in MUFON gave BAASS complete access to MUFON's database of UFO investigations, along with new cases as they are reported.

This includes not only the publically available material in the database, but also the personal information of people who witnessed sightings, abductees and contactees involved in the cases. Many of the people who provided information to MUFON wished to remain anonymous for very good reason, and MUFON betrayed them.

It was this crowd that actually made me change my mind about aliens and abductions. I had been leaning that way for some time as I saw how the government seemed to be helping expand the UFO circuit, like they really wanted us to believe-even 'prentending' there was no evidence. It looked more and more like we were being played for some unknown long game.

The UFO circuit turned into mostly nutters with outrageous claims and then it kind of birthed the New Age cult. MUFON was losing cresibility and people were becoming apathetic-UNTIL the Big Guy's showed up; Puthoff, Valee, Bigellow, et al.
Although they talked in circles, like they knew the answers but weren't at libertly to divulge all interest really picked up for awhaile.

I think we're at the end of all the tours, books and Skinwalker stories. People still have nothing, yet the government doesn't want the common folk to give up their belief that aliens are scoping us out.

That's when I began to think the Roswell crash was a syop to cover up all of the Area 51 activity, and it worked. I'm not convinced the orbs and UAPs are extrteresterial; in fact, I/m about 95% convinced they're ours, China's, Russia's, etc.

Everybody's getting something from the whole UFO/UAP agenda except the American people. Maybe I should write a book and cash in on it all, too.

I thought that might be the case and I recall a fair amount of controversy over MUFON in recent years. I remember more than one person that had issues with MUFON. It may not have been MUFON, but maybe specific people in the organization. I think there was somebody that volunteered for MUFON, or did, as well.

I wonder if the people mentioned in this report are now getting a bunch of harassment. It definitely seems like a privacy issue for people reporting, but I don't know what people agree to when they make a report. They might have specific exemptions on data sharing with government agencies in their terms or whatever.

I'm mostly indifferent on Bigelow because I don't know enough about him. I do approve of the research, if not the hidden nature of it.

Many valid points in there. A minefield of disinformation and hidden agendas.

I don't trust any of them, but I do find some lines to read between here and there.

Some people are good counter-indicators, but some are just writing and living their own fiction. Some probably think they're participating in disclosure, but are really just a proxy for some hidden agenda using planted "sources". It would be very interesting to see a network map on who is talking to who behind the scenes.

If you think about how many criminal informants or agency plants we've seen emerge as part of government surveillance and influence, then think about how many of these UFO guys committed fraud or crimes like tax evasion while raking in cash, it's easy to believe maybe a bunch of these guys just rolled over when threatened with prosecution. Some of them maybe aren't criminals or grifters, but those guys can easily be brought into the fold as a proxy for disinformation by having some of high level people whisper sweet nothings to them. It's ironic that what gives all these whistleblowers their credentials is the approval of people that are entrenched in the very apparatus that is alleged to have been keeping it secret. All these agencies may have changed the picture of the President that hangs in the lobby, but it's not like that changes the culture that already exists.

Total minefield. I couldn't imagine trying to be a journalist covering any of this. It seems like right now your phone would be ringing off the hook with everything from biblical scholars to physics experts all wanting to tell you about the UAPs. At any one time there are 5 conflicting narratives all streaming through social media simultaneously. There are people with dedicated followings that claim to be emissaries of the Galactic Federation. That would be hard to keep up with.

(smile) The study of UFOs is said to be ufology as in UFO-ology, but that should be written ufoolery which gives u-fool-ery. I reckon someone thought, "let's change UFO to UAP to avoid the embarrassment of looking like fools".

I think your's is a fair enough assessment of the situation with UFOs. Though I might add, the UFO hysteria is very much an America centric thing.  That was often pointed out in the ATS UFO forum, why America?

Aliens and UFOs as a cover story, and disinfo for sure. Brand people as nutcases for witnessing something or being experimented upon.  The public disinfo and hype, the attention getting and get rich goings-on prevents bad publicity and lawsuits. Which is of course is a smoke screen.

So then there is the actual legitimate alien/UFO encounters in the background.  What the smoke screen is there to hide and protect.

So why is this largely an American phenomenon? I have an idea about that.

The (American) National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is very secretive and is often spoken about in regard to UFOs.  I reckon if anyone knew about UFOs it would be them.

Now a curious thing. There was a person by the name of Valerie Ransone. She worked in contactee circles in the USA.

Further reading:
Keith Basterfield - Valerie Ransone - a 1970's contactee
Contactee Valerie Ransone - the final post
Keith Basterfield - Valerie Ransone - some further insights

Now what has me curious is it came to light that she also worked for the NRO.

An educated guess here. I think it will eventually be found that the NRO is very careful when it comes to contact. They would probably regard contact as equalling compromised. So I would suggest that they have a way of screening their employees, and anyone who was compromised would be "retired" to fieldwork.

So behind all the UFO-foolery is a very serious subject.

I believe you're right. There are centuries of legends, but I noticed TE activity seemed to have become quite rare after the industrial age.

I wonder if we became too toxic and were taken off of thier destination lists? 

It was right after WWII that we had the Roswell incident, and just like magic cigar-shaped crft were being seen all around the US. I saw one from a second story window in downtown Seattle, Washington when I was five years old. That was back in the day when all vehicles would die and their horns would blare non-stop, which is actually what caused us all to run to the window and see what the commotion was. I'm glad they got that bug worked out......

That Nazi Bell; real, or not? Did the US end up with it as rumored? Hmm....
Betty and Barny Hill were good friends and neighbors with some high-ranking military guy-with I could remember his name. And the name of that guy in New Mexico who was in contact with aliens that they (CIA? Military?) and had his house wired to play subliminal messages that made him think it was ET phoning home....

A LOT of work has gone on throughout the decades to keep people divided, yet interested. Many fortunes were made on the UFO circuit, and it's still raking in the $$$$.

Linda Moulton Howell and her cattle mutilations.   She always had strong ties to the government side of Ufology. Why does no one ever mention that radiation collectes in organs like mamary glands, the eyeballs, tongue,etc; the organs being harvested....and of course the black helo's always seen 'after' the dead cows are discovered. 
The path of mutilated cattle folowed the suspected wind currents of where the nuclear testing in Nevada would carry the radiation. Coincidence, no doubt.

I've lived in a 'hot spot' for 50 years now, and I've seen many 'somethings' I can find no logical explaination for, but I'm pretty sure I've witnessed secret technological advancements by the US all throughout my life.

I think we already have all the truth, but it's been so muddied with frnge cults, disinfo and cover-ups the actual truth is relegated to conspiracy theory. Also, as with MKUltra, the moon landing, JFK, 9/11, etc. much of the evidence has been destroyed.
