DOW-UAP-D166, MUFON Reports Prepared for BAASS, November 2008
Department of War · 11/1/08 · Las Vegas, Nevada · Document
DOW-UAP-D166, MUFON Reports Prepared for BAASS, November 2008 is indexed as a Department of War record with incident date 11/1/08 and location Las Vegas, Nevada. This document is an administrative, programmatic, or contractor-produced record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As part of the broader program record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, executed, or described at a particular point in time. This November 2008 compilation appears to be a set of technical materials prepared by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) for Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) under a separate supporting contract. The file presents MUFON-produced topical papers framed around AAWSAP s technical research areas, including at least a paper on Lift, while treating historical and contemporary unidentified flying object or unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) reporting as a relevant source base for evaluating advanced aerospace capabilities. Redactions have been made to protect the identity of eyewitnesses, the location of government facilities, or potentially sensitive information about military sites not related to UAP. No redactions have been made to any files released under President Trump's directive concerning information about the nature or existence of any encounter reported as a UAP or related phenomena.
Notable / anomalous element
- There have been several reliable reports ofcompass disturbances associated with UFO flyovers, strongly suggesting large magnetic fields involved. (native PDF text, page 3)

- ., /\UF; J Mutual UFO Network Lift MUFON Advanced Technology Establishment Newport Beach, California ABSTRACT Lift is defined as the force or forces that permit a vehicle to hover or remain at constant altitude in flight, without expelling fluids as with a jet engine or rocket, which would be the subject of propulsion. (native PDF text, page 2)
- We examine live ways that lift can be generated on our planet and have concluded that the use of the magnetic field of the earth for propelling vehicles using superconductors has merit. ln addition, the study of superconductor materials and properties is a very attractive next step towards identifying the experiments.

- The famous rash of sightings from the late 1890's, recently reponed on by 843(a)(2) _ at the Society for Scientific Exploration annual meeting in 2008, noted large numbers of airship reports having the ch11racteristics of lighter than air balloons. (native PDF text, page 2)
- Today it seems that balloon technology is well understood and the rewards from pursuing these technologies are not of the breakthrough sort. (native PDF text, page 2)
