• The following statement has been attributed to you by several outlets recently, "Neither AA TIP
nor AAWSAP were UAP related. The purpose of AA TIP 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." Under the definition being used, could the term "foreign" be used to describe
UAP encounters or events involving technology that was not readily identified?
• In a previous statement regarding the release of the 3 UAP videos, you told me, "The two
2015 videos appeared in the New York Times in December 2017. At that time,
AFOSI conducted an investigation,focusing on the classification of the
information in the video." Since the videos were originally captured by the Navy, the
Navy was listed as the OCA on the DD Form 1910 for their release, and the videos are still
retain in position of the Navy, can you elaborate on why AFOSI conducted the investigation
into the classification of the information in the video?
• In regards to the contract award for AAWSAP to Bigelow Aerospace (BAAS) can you tell me if
the data rights granted to the government in association with noncommercial data collected
by BAAS was considered Unlimited; Government Purpose; Specifically Negotiated License;
Small Business Innovative Research; or Limited?
• In regards to Mr. Luis Elizondo's claims of running a UAP investigation program while serving
as a director within the National Programs Security Management Office, is it possible that Mr.
Elizondo conducted these matters unofficially and not as a component of his stated job role
with of OUSD(i). In effect, was he looking into UAP in an unofficial capacity during his time with
DoD?
Thank you again for your help.
Best Wishes,
