Hello, Steven,
I got your voicemail, too, so I know your request has to do with what I provided to John Greenewald.
Regarding Luis Elizondo and AATIP:
While in OUSD(1), Luis Elizondo did not have any assigned responsibilities for MTIP. The Defense Intelligence Agency ran AATIP. Elizondo
was neither assigned nor detailed to DIA.
[The below was provided in response to a question about the difference between AATIP and AAWSAP and whether either were UAP related.]
Neither AATIP nor AAWSAP were UAP related. The purpose of AATIP was to investigate foreign advanced aerospace weapons system
applications with future technology projections over the next 40 years, and to create a center of expertise on advanced aerospace technologies.
The goal was to help understand the threat posed by unconventional or leap ahead aerospace vehicles/technologies that could have national
security implicationsfor the United States. The AAWSAP contract goal was to study 12 technical areas: lift, propulsion, control, armament,
signatures reduction, materials, configuration, power generation, temporal translation, human effects, human interface, and technology
integration.
[The below was provided in response to a follow-up question to the above response, asking for clarification due to comment that Christopher Sherwood
had told the NY Post in May]
