January 20, 2020 ADVANCED AEROSPACE THREAT AND IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM Written by Jay09784691 On the 6th of August 2018 I was researching into Christopher Mellon, one of the newly appointed advisory staff at Tom DeLonge's new company "To The Stars Academy" an organisation that was set up to research and release information on "scientific phenomena". While looking around to see if he was involved in any published scientific papers, I happened across a link on his now-deleted Twitter page - it was a link to his website. While searching around his site, I came across a section titled "Miscellaneous" that included several documents on the AATIP, the group within the US Pentagon that was researching the same phenomena that DeLonge's new company was looking into.

Photographs of a package received from the Pentagon addressed to Mr. Elizondo: From R. Essex, with CHRIS MELLON 16:00 9/7/17 written onto it 4. A photograph of four CDs marked as "UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Government Property" 5. Five pages of a full unredacted report from the Nimitz incident 6. Seven slides from a presentation on the AATIP Edit: I've included the photograph of the CDs and some additional images in the video reading of this article that can be found here: Advance Aerospace Threat and Identification Program. At the time that this occurred, it made a little splash within a fairly small group of people on Twitter. I shared all of the detail initially on the 6th of August and then further detail to Twitter on the 7th of August - on the recommendation from a friend (Joe Murgia - Twitters @UfoJoe11) I removed a tweet that included the unredacted names of the pilots involved in Nimitz incident. I let another friend (Danny Silva of silvarecord.com) know of what I'd found and he published some detail on the now-defunct UAPInfo website. The main purpose of their article was highlighting Mr. Elizondo's resignation letter. The purpose of writing this article now so long after the event is to highlight the detail that was present in the AATIP slides and to analyse the content. It's worth noting that the slides themselves were reworked and the TV show Unidentified included redacted versions of the slides, interesting that multiple omissions were present, so intentionally removing some of the detail. I may prepare a follow-up article demonstrating the differences between what was present in the original and what was released as part of the TV program. For now, I will share the source files and provide some analysis of the detail. The slides were numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 - the omissions being 5 and 6. Those were not present within Mr. Mellons website and cannot be shared here. The first slide is as follows: Dette website anvender cookies fra Google til at levere sine tjenester og analysere trafik. Din IP-adresse og brugeragent deles med Google sammen med effektivitets- og sikkerhedsmetrics. Dette sker for at sikre tjenestekvaliteten, generere brugsstatistik samt registrere og hndtere FLERE OPLYSNINGEROK So quite simply the name of the program. There was contention around the name of AATIP for several weeks, with some stating that it was Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, but here it is listed exactly as it was used while active at the Pentagon. So "aerospace" is unarguably the correct terminology. It may seem semantic to point out, only the difference between the two can be the difference between something in the sky (aviation) to something in space (aerospace). An important distinction. From the name, it appears that the group considered the advanced aerospace objects/vehicles as being a "threat" and at the same time wanted to identify what they are. As we progress through the slides it becomes apparent that AATIP was analysing the capabilities of the objects and assessing whether or not they're to be considered a problem for national security. You can see the numeric labelling of the slides at the bottom left. It also appears that the slides themselves were not the original PowerPoint presentation, but rather a scan of the pages - some show darkening around the upper left of the image where it seems clear that a folding of the pages occurred at the time the pages were scanned. Quite why the original electronic file wasn't present is anyone's guess - possibly classification issues? I would have thought copying the original PowerPoint file onto the CD would be easier than printing/scanning/copying the file. It's possible that Mr. Mellon made the photocopies after receiving the source files. The second slide: Dette website anvender cookies fra Google til at levere sine tjenester og analysere trafik. Din IP-adresse og brugeragent deles med Google sammen med effektivitets- og sikkerhedsmetrics. Dette sker for at sikre tjenestekvaliteten, generere brugsstatistik samt registrere og hndtere FLERE OPLYSNINGEROK This has the heading "Purpose", so presumably to give detail on the AATIP for those in attendance of the presentation itself. So it's clear that the Deputy Secretary of Defence is well aware of the program and was updated on its progress intermittently. AATIP was also wanting to get itself set up as a SAP (Special Access Program), with a "bigoted access list", so limited in its availability to Pentagon staff. At the time the presentation was given it appears that they were looking for additional funding and the associated resources, with a dedicated "support office". Presumably those present in the AATIP before this time must have split themselves between this project and other unrelated activities. We have no additional information on the FTE allocation, but some staff may have been full time on the project and required further dedicated staff. The bullet labelled Establish a DoD AATIP Reporting Chain of Command suggests that they wanted to add weight to the program thatd then potentially give them access to files within other associated SAPs - like those detailed in Wilson Memo. We know that much of the Pentagon is separated into stovepipes, so essentially disassociated from one another, presumably for privacy purposes. Looking at this slide, it appears like they would have wanted access to other similar groups and programs. The third slide: Dette website anvender cookies fra Google til at levere sine tjenester og analysere trafik. Din IP-adresse og brugeragent deles med Google sammen med effektivitets- og sikkerhedsmetrics. Dette sker for at sikre tjenestekvaliteten, generere brugsstatistik samt registrere og hndtere FLERE OPLYSNINGEROK And here we have the full mission statement for the AATIP. So they wanted to identify the threats and take full advantage of the technology that are being used. It's clear that the slide has no suggestion on the source of the objects only that they're "employed by other countries, actors, or entities". The US DoD wanted to use the technology for military purposes since it's stating that understanding the tech would "provide the U.S. with a decisive advantage over adversaries and threats". As we'll see in one of the later slides they're looking to identify all of the aspects of the objects and try and determine how the systems functioned and replicate The AATIP vision is to make use of the "Beyond Next Generation" technology within "aerospace", so they are referring to something that's able to navigate in space and likely within the air too. The technology is considered highly advanced and presumably way beyond anything that was being used at the time the slides were created - and likely not now either. One has to wonder if the speech marks and capitalisation on "Beyond Next Generation" is indicating some other file or program assessing these devices or materials. These words were once coloured before the scan, therefore adding emphasis - as they're currently grey in this black-and-white version shown The only indication as to why the devices are considered a threat here is that they already consider the tech as being outside of the departments capability. This is further elaborated later. Again, its clear by reviewing the upper left of the image that this is a scan of a paper document. The fourth slide: Dette website anvender cookies fra Google til at levere sine tjenester og analysere trafik. Din IP-adresse og brugeragent deles med Google sammen med effektivitets- og sikkerhedsmetrics. Dette sker for at sikre tjenestekvaliteten, generere brugsstatistik samt registrere og hndtere FLERE OPLYSNINGEROK This one is headed "AATIP Preliminary Assessments", so the program's initial views of the technology or objects that they're assessing as part of the report and the relating projects within it. Part of this assessment is that if the technology were to be used against the US, it would be considered a "game changer" and this isn't in any way positive for the US since the final bullet on the page states that the US "has no countermeasures" against the technology. So the military has no suitable weapons to fight against it. Knowledge of this fact is listed as being considered "highly sensitive" - presumably not for the wider population to know how significantly the military is handicapped against the objects. This is further emphasized in bullet two where it's stated that the evidence indicated that the military cannot defend itself. It is also stated that some details around the technology are so unusual as to be considered unconventional. I imagine this means they include unanticipated aspects that the military has not expected to be included in any kind of conventional weapon or vehicle. These aspects are still undetermined and require understanding the "full scope" of them. As with one of the earlier slides, they're suggesting that they need to exploit the technology (i.e., use it themselves) or for it to be defeated. Considering that US military spending is by far the highest in any country, it's hard to assume that any of the other countries of the world (and specifically non-allies) would have any advanced technology that the US, admittedly, has no defense against. There's no specific elaboration on where it's expected to come from though and considering the group wanted to "identify" (as listed in their name), it doesn't appear that identification was ever performed. At least the identification wasn't included in these available slides. So we now know that the objects or technology that was being assessed by AATIP was considered way beyond the capacity of any known country or group - so far beyond that some aspects were still unknown and couldnt be determined.

Some scientists are better known than others. The papers themselves are considered technical studies. While reviewing these different bullets, you have to ask yourself what kind of technology has all of these different aspects - certainly nothing thats available to the military today. We can only consider some of them as applying to known technology (not much of which is related to aerospace, mind you); lift, propulsion, control, power generation, materials, configuration, structure. Those all sound fairly mundane until you cross-check them against the scientific papers listed on the following slide. Several of the other items are a little more significant: 1. Spatial/Temporal Translation: so the technology can adapt space and time(!) 1.1 The significance of this is really striking to me. The technology can change and manipulate the very space around you and presumably move somewhat through time. To what extent isn't clear, so we can only assume that by adjusting gravity it's also impacting time (as time warps and changes depending on the mass of an object). I'd imagine that the suggestion is that the craft can manipulate its mass and therefore affecting time within proximity, not necessarily time travelling, but we may need to include that as a possibility too, as outlandish as it sounds. 2. Signature Reduction: so the technology can give itself a significant amount of stealth from optical, infrared, radiofrequency, and Dette website anvender cookies fra Google til at levere sine tjenester og analysere trafik. Din IP-adresse og brugeragent deles med Google sammen med effektivitets- og sikkerhedsmetrics. Dette sker for at sikre tjenestekvaliteten, generere brugsstatistik samt registrere og hndtere FLERE OPLYSNINGEROK 2.1 So invisible to the eye, radar, even sound. I've previously referred to multiple metamaterial patents by military groups that are looking to use microwave frequency radiated materials layered in a specific orientation that allows for stealth. Makes you wonder if this technology was inspired by what's being listed here, or it was independently determined. 3. Human Interface: I assume this means how the craft are specifically controlled. 3.1 It suggests that the interface is with the human itself, rather than through some related tool or steering contraption. Is the technology interfacing with the mind of people in proximity or with the pilots themselves - perhaps both? I've previously written about how these types of objects appear to affect people in significant ways and how consciousness itself may be a polymorphic interface. It's possible that the information here may add additional emphasis to that idea. 4. Human Effects: this is a reference to how the craft effects people in close proximity to them and the physiological impact on their 4.1 At this point, it's also worth mentioning that on the EarthTech website (company owned by Hal Puthoff - one of the paper's authors) had the following image present until I posted about it on Twitter, then it was taken off the site. Keith Basterfield (Twitter's @KeithBasterfie1) wrote a blog post about it in 2018 and showed the original image while it was still present on the EarthTech site. 4.2 I wonder if this ties back to the research being performed by Dr. Garry Nolan and Dr. Kit Green (who is coincidentally the author of a relating paper on the following AATIP slide). Are these devices somehow impacting the caudate-putamen area of the brain of people in proximity? The signs certainly point in the direction of it being a possibility. 5. Armament: this relates directly to weapons. 5.1 Specifically radiofrequency (RF) and directed energy weapons (DEW) - certainly unconventional today, but my understanding is that these have been somewhat developed over the past few decades. I doubt to the same capacity as present within the relating craft detailed in these slides. Dette website anvender cookies fra Google til at levere sine tjenester og analysere trafik.

Dette sker for at sikre tjenestekvaliteten, generere brugsstatistik samt registrere og hndtere FLERE OPLYSNINGEROK So definitely the types of technologies that we havent been able to fully develop (with some minor exceptions). All of these have their relating technology papers associated with them. The slide ends with a comment asking if the abilities are even achievable using our current understanding of physics and engineering. So they're accepting that our knowledge of physics could be about to fundamentally change, once we're better able to understand these technologies. I like to think that this would include some kind of subjectivity tech, but the only clues here are with the human effects and interface. The eighth slide: These are the relating papers that were contracted out to the science teams, as specified in the previous slide. Ill try and pick out the items of particular interest, its also worth reading through the list yourself to see if anything else stick out, Id be interested to hear of any other views here, as theres a lot to acknowledge. These papers are largely not available to the public. Novel MEMS-based Biosensors & Biosensors and BioMEMS: Bruce Towe, the author of these papers also has multiple relating patents about devices that would be inserted into people's bodies and able to stimulate the brain of those with the implants. See patent # US 10,022,566 B2. This has obvious ties to Jeremy Corbell's documentary titled Patient Seventeen and the work of Roger Leir, both claiming that devices are implanted into people from something non-human. It's quite "out there", but we have it listed as a contracted study by the Pentagon, so something that shouldn't be quickly discounted. At the very least it's interesting that the Pentagon considered implants genuine, even if they're not elaborated Dette website anvender cookies fra Google til at levere sine tjenester og analysere trafik.

Dette sker for at sikre tjenestekvaliteten, generere brugsstatistik samt registrere og hndtere FLERE OPLYSNINGEROK in these slides, there must have been separate communication on them. There are the two relating papers listed above, the distinction between them is unclear from their titles alone. Edit: check out this follow-up article on Dr. Bruce Towe and his studies / patents on anomalous implanted devices: The Pentagon's AATIP Implant Studies Space-Time Modifications for Spaceflight applications: Here is the paper that was written by Hal Puthoff who is famous for being involved in the remote viewing "Stargate Project" activities for the CIA in the '70s. The specific paper here relates directly to his research on bending space and time for the purposes of spaceflight. I doubt that actual practical applications for this research were ever completed since this paper was put together. Field Effects on Biological Tissues: Presumably written by Christopher Canfield (Kit) Green, this is one of the single most interesting of the papers listed here as it likely documents cases where people have been in direct proximity to the unusual craft and list the impact on the bodies of those people. I suspect that the image from Dr. Puthoff's website (the MRI brain scan) is likely to have been part of this research. So people within a certain radius receive damage to their brains and it later causes the death of the patients. As we know the devices likely also radiate their materials with microwave and/or terahertz frequencies, I'd suspect that people were also receiving burns and lesions to their skin. These types of impacts have been listed in the literature from people that are exposed to these devices. Impacting actual brain tissue (and presumably the conscious states of people) appears to be of particular interest, as enclosed within the skull and without damage to
