Defense Intelligence Agency
1961-10-01what this date marks is not recorded
The Department of Defense combat-support intelligence agency. Ran the later phase of the government remote-viewing program (Sun Streak) in the 1980s and, in 2008, contracted the AAWSAP program to Robert Bigelow's company BAASS. One of the reports AAWSAP delivered, issued as a DIA reference document in 2010, concerns injuries to people from "anomalous advanced aerospace systems"; the program's Skinwalker Ranch work is described in congressional testimony and by its own principals, not in any DIA document held here. Vice Adm. Thomas Wilson - subject of the Wilson-Davis memo - was one of its directors.
In BOTH threads - the consciousness thread and the UAP recordBoth threads. UAP: the AAWSAP contract and the 2023 hearings. PSI: ran GRILL FLAME jointly with INSCOM, took the CENTER LANE unit over as SUN STREAK, ran STAR GATE's later phase. Screen scored uap 4 and psi 22.

read as an image — the grade this project quotes from: the page was rendered and the picture readCaveat THE QUOTED REASON IS AMBIGUOUS AS PRINTED AND IS LEFT THAT WAY. "due to lack of merit and the utility of the deliverables" reads, taken literally, as though the utility of the deliverables was itself a reason to cancel. It is far likelier to mean a lack of both. Tidying it to "a lack of merit and of utility" would be this project resolving a source's ambiguity and then handing the resolution back in the source's voice, so the words stand as printed. Two further limits: "the program" in that sentence is the compound "AAWSAP/AATIP", and this map has no aawsap node to split it across; and this is AARO characterising a cancellation decision, not a cancellation order - no such order is held here. -

2 corrections to this record
Generated from the record, not written by hand. Every change keeps what the map used to say, because a correction nobody can see is indistinguishable from never having been wrong.
Defense Intelligence Agency → BAASS
awarded it the 2008 AAWSAP contract
received George Knapp's Soviet UFO files through it, under the AAWSAP program
The cited page does not say it. Printed 34 reads "Second, I gave all of that material to the DIA through BAASS, the AAWSAP program." - a witness saying where he sent his files, not a statement that DIA awarded BAASS anything, and it names no year. THE CAVEAT REMOVED HERE WAS WORSE THAN THE CLAIM: reviewed 2026-08-21, it read "The award is in the testimony; only the 2008 DATE is not. Date is a modifier." The award is not in the testimony either, so the caveat scoped away a smaller problem than the one present and read as diligence already done. The award and its 2008 date leave this project's voice until a document for them is held.
Defense Intelligence Agency → James Lacatski
he ran its AAWSAP program
he initiated its AAWSAP program
Knapp's testimony says Lacatski 'was the guy who initiated a program called AAWSAP', and calls him its inspiration at turn 171. Initiating a program and running it are different jobs. The witness gives a specific verb twice and it is not the one this link carried. Operator decision, 2026-08-21.
Notes on this record
This description, checked against the record
REWORDED 2026-09-21. The description said DIA "funded the AAWSAP program that investigated UAP and Skinwalker Ranch". Three documents now held change what can be said. (1) The contract (dow-uap-d111, PDF p. 1) was issued by the Virginia Contracting Activity, and payment was made through the NSA Finance and Accounting Office: "contracted" is what the page shows, "funded" is not. (2) A report delivered under AAWSAP, issued as a DIA reference document (dow-uap-d128, PDF pp. 2 and 5), is about injury to people from "anomalous advanced aerospace systems" - so the UAP half of the old sentence now rests on a DIA document. (3) Nothing held from DIA mentions Skinwalker Ranch, so that half is now attributed to testimony and to the program's principals.
