Documents / Official release
This Defense Intelligence Reference Document, DIA-08-1004-004, is dated 6 April 2010. The Acquisition Support Division of the Defense Intelligence Agency's Defense Warning Office prepared it as one in a series of advanced technology reports from FY 2009 under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program. It reviews the physics of traversable wormholes and flat-faced "stargate" solutions, and it covers how negative energy might be generated in the laboratory. It concludes that the key technical challenge is identifying and producing exotic matter.
From the source:Release of 2026-09-18 Incident: 4/6/10, Las Vegas, Nevada. Released with redactions. This document is a Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIRD), a technical reference format used by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to capture baseline knowledge on a specific topic for later analytic use. DIRDs are best understood as reference and synthesis products rather than as original research. It is one of 38 DIRDs produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP) between 2009 and 2011. Because AAWSAP’s scope permitted a broad range of supporting topics, not every DIRD in the series directly concerns aerospace systems or future threat assessment. The following summary reflects the DIRD’s scope and framing at the time of writing and should not be read as implying current validation of the concepts discussed. This DIRD examines traversable wormholes and “stargates” as hypothetical spacetime structures within general relativity that theoretically offer a means of faster-than-light travel or communication. The report focuses extensively on the requirement for exotic, negative-energy matter to stabilize and keep such geometries open for the passage of macro-scale objects. It reviews standard wormhole models, describes a flat-throated “stargate” variant, and argues that violations of general relativity's standard energy conditions do not physically rule such structures out, citing microscopic, transient negative-energy effects observed in Casimir-type laboratory phenomena. However, the document acknowledges that the transition from microscopic quantum fluctuations to macroscopic engineering is an unresolved barrier. While small-scale negative-energy effects are observable, there is no known mechanism to generate, concentrate, or stabilize the amounts of exotic matter proposed to be required to sustain a traversable macroscopic wormhole. Ultimately, while the paper frames wormhole concepts within accepted relativistic physics, it confirms that the gap between theoretical models and any realizable technology remains enormous.

through an optical cavity resonator made of a lithium niobate (LiNbQ3) crystal that is
shaped like a cylinder with rounded si lvered ends to reflect light. The resonator will act
to produce a secondary lower frequency light beam in wh ich the pattern of photons is
rearranged into pairs. The squeezed light beam emerg ing from the resonator will
contain pu lses of negative energy interspersed with pulses of positive energy.
In this concept both the negative and positive energy pulses are ~ 10-15 second
duration. In principle a set of rapidly rotating mirrors could be arranged to separate the
positive and negative energy pulses from each other. The light beam would be set to
strike each mirror surface at a very shallow angle while the rotation wou ld ensure that
the negative energy pulses would be reflected at a slightly different ang le from the
positive energy pulses. A small spatial separation of the two different energy pulses
would occur at some distance from the rotating mirror. Another system of mirrors
would be needed to redirect the negative energy pulses to an isolated location and
concentrate them there. See Figure 9 for an illustration of this concept.

The rotating mirror system can actually be implemented via non-mechanical means. A
chamber of sodium gas is placed within the squeezing cavity and a laser beam is
directed through the gas. The beam is reflected back on itself by a mirror to form a
standing wave within the sodium chamber. This wave causes rapid variations in the
optical properties of the sodium thus causing rapid variations in the squeezed light so
that one can induce rapid reflections of pu lses by careful design (Reference 41). An
illustration of this is shown in Figure 10.
