AATIP and AAWSAP: The Pentagon's Secret UFO Programs and Their Unclear Relationship
To the point
The text says the Pentagon ran a secret but not classified UFO-study program called AATIP from 2007–2012, which was publicly revealed in 2017 by Luis Elizondo and To the Stars Academy of Arts & Science, possibly overlapping with AAWSAP funded by Harry Reid and Robert Bigelow and supported by Senators Ted Stevens and Daniel Inouye, with an alleged budget around $22 million over two years, producing a 490‑page report that hasn’t been released, and with many seeing both programs as PR rather than rigorous investigation and with unclear links between them due to conflicting accounts.
