AAWSAP: A Secret DIA Initiative Investigating UAPs and Anomalies at Skinwalker Ranch (2008–2012)

To the point

Secretly funded from 2008–2012 with about $22 million to Bigelow’s BAASS, Robert Bigelow’s private arm, the program around Skinwalker Ranch studied UFO/UAPs, space-time anomalies, and witness effects to determine if unknown technologies or unusual physics could threaten U.S. airspace, while declassified materials cite 38 research topics (including warp drives, cloaking, wormholes) and testimonies by Colm Kelleher and George Knapp, though raw data and full reports remain unreleased; it evolved into AATIP under Luis Elizondo and is now overseen by AARO, with Skinwalker Ranch later sold to Brandon Fugal, and the overall takeaway being that something unusual occurred but certainty remains elusive.
