To follow-up on some more information that may assist you, recently I've spoken "on-the-record" to
someone who is verifiably associated with of the DIRDs described in a January 9, 2018 letter to the
Senate Armed Services Committee as being "products produced under the AATIP contract for the DIA
to publish." (Here is a link to the FOIA release of this letter and list of DIRDs : Caution-
https://fas.org/irp/dia/aatip-list.pdf )
According to who I spoke with, the "Field Effects on Biological Tissues" DIRD, which is listed by the
DIA as a product of AATIP, was a literature review and forensic medical analysis of historical claims
of injury as result of encounters with UAP. In the letter to the Armed Services Committee DIA
Congressional Relations Staff indicated the "Field Effects on Biological Tissues" attachment is not
accessible on the Capitol Network (CapNet), however, they are "happy to provide directly upon
request." I wondering if it may be possible to coordinate with the DIA in effort to review this
published report, as it may bear influence on recent official statements that AATIP nor AAWSAP were
involved with the research or study of UAP.
I understand you're hindered by both length of time since these programs were being officially
conducted and what information is available or provided to you. However, I have no doubts about
your intentions to provide as accurate information as possible, so I wanted to pass this additional
information along in case it might be of assistance.
