On the AAWSAP-AATIP Confusion. A paper by Ballester Olmos & Cayetano

[Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos]

Dear colleagues:

Initially planned as a raw review of Skinwalkers at the Pentagon (Lacatski, Kelleher & Knapp, 2021), this 74-page paper has evolved into an examination of the distinction between AAWSAP and AATIP (the names for a DIA-situated effort to investigate UFOs/UAP and adjacent "paranormal" phenomena, 2008-2012) that analyzes and dissects the confusion and ambiguities surrounding these acronyms, includes a comprehensive chronology of facts, events, and accomplishments related to AAWSAP/AATIP and the broader UAP saga in the present century, places the current UAP problem into a larger historical perspective, lists the UAP-related legal provisions as established in the FY2024 Defense Authorization Act, assesses the aforementioned book, and finally takes a look to the future (with a special focus on the recently established AARO). It contains over 150 source links within the text plus a bibliography of 124 references, and a Cast of Characters epilog.
