Importance of the Work There has been over six decades of intensive activity of advanced aerospace craft in the skies over North America and around the world. These have been witnessed, photographed and chased by military pilots, witnessed by ground crews, by commercial airline pilots and by thousands of military and civilian ground based personnel. The importance of this study lies in the possibility that some of these advanced aerospace craft may represent a threat to the security of the United States including its airspace and nuclear facilities. It is thus a very high priority to further our understanding of the physics and engineering feasibility of advanced aerospace weapon systems applications as they apply to the potential future capabilities of foreign threat systems out to the far term, i.e. from now out through the year 2050. BAASS appreciates the high level of trust that has been bestowed on the organization by the sponsors/DIA in assigning us with the responsibility of furthering our understanding of the physics and engineering feasibility of advanced aerospace weapons system applications. BAASS understands the sobering importance and the long term implications of this project.

This Project Manager Report (PMR) fulfills the requirement to submit a report as part of the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Application contract HHM402-08-C-0072. The report comprises overview projects that are focused on and include the scope of the final report (due in September 2009) for the twelve effects, (11) Armament (RF and DEW), and {12) Other areas in support of 1-11. The PMR addresses a Plan of Action, Milestones and the composition of BAASS analytical teams for these twelve technical areas. In numerous places throughout the Earth Tech report previously mentioned, ,.~,.1"""'P,,,. .P,,,.e.- rs_o _n ...l.and others refer to the need for "examining more exotic possibilities that might account for reports of truly anomalous characteristics of high­ performance craft of unknown origin whose mode of operation appears to be well advanced beyond that presently known." With that in mind, we present the Plans of Action and Milestones in this report comprising nine separate major projects which collectively address all twelve of the technical areas. It should be emphasized that for each of the nine projects, we envisage extension and expansion into 2010 and 2011. Accordingly, the milestones for each of the nine projects described herein should include extensions into 2010, 2011 and beyond.

The nine major projects are: Project Physics was mandated by the DIA to study the current research on all twelve technical areas. Earthtech and its subcontractors will deliver approximately 24 in depth position papers targeted to twelve technical areas by Project Engagement will locate and secure small geographic areas that experience very frequent displays of advanced aerospace vehicles. The purpose is to directly observe and measure advanced aerospace vehicle performance. Project Cooperation requires the full cooperation between the DIA and BAASS and lays out the expected frameworks and specifics of this cooperation. This necessitates the help and cooperation from the DIA in assisting BAASS to obtain the high value film, hardware, relevant materials and information that are essential to the successful completion of this project. Project Campus will seek to stimulate, motivate and encourage the senior levels of the academic community in the United States to seriously study advanced aerospace vehicles and their performances. Project Database will bring together all existing data from multiple separate databases on advanced aerospace vehicle performances in the United States, and ultimately in other countries for the past 60 years. This new database will be searchable by keywords that address all twelve technical areas.

Project Oral History will contact and record interviews with dozens of highly placed individuals from industry and the military who have had direct knowledge of film evidence, physical material evidence, hardware itself, biological tissue and other material as they pertain to advanced aerial technology in the United States over the past several decades. Project Blue Book Materials will obtain the case files and associated trace materials with the help of DIA of multiple high value cases involving advanced aerospace vehicles that were never included in Project Blue Book presumably because they were deemed too sensitive. Project Northern Tier will obtain all the information and case files pertaining to dozens of cases in which advanced aerospace ve hicles flew over restricted air force bases containing nuclear weapons, hovered over weapon
