Third Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program document surfaces

A third document associated with the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) program has just surfaced. The document appears to be one of a series of 38 such documents commissioned by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) under the AAWSA program.

Dr Eric Davis

In a "Coast to Coast" radio interview, on 28 January 2018, between George Knapp and Dr Eric Davis, of the Institute for Advanced Studies, Dr Davis stated that they were tasked with looking into the future, around 2050, and to set up a series of expert studies. They commissioned a series of experts to prepare papers on a variety of exotic studies. These papers became a series of Defence Intelligence Reference Documents.Thirty eight papers were produced, of which two were classified.

Previously

Two other documents in this series have been known since late last year. These were titled "Traversable Wormholes, Stargates, and Negative Energy", dated 6 April 2010, DIA-08-1004-004; and "Warp drive; Dark Energy, and the Manipulation of Extra Dimensions"  dated 2 April 2010, DIA-08-1004-001. The earliest appearance of these two documents can be traced back to a website operated by Corey Goode  They appear in an item dated 18 December 2017. In another place, Goode refers to having had five of these DIRD's, but that three were stolen from him.

Third document

Authored by Dr Hal Puthoff, it is titled "Advanced Space Propulsion Based on Vacuum (Spacetime Metric) Engineering," dated 29 March 2010, DIA-08-1003-015.

It surfaced yesterday, as a link,  in  a story by George Knapp, titled "I-Team: Documents prove secret UFO study based in Nevada."

The 17 page document explores the theme that "...empty space itself (the quantum vacuum or spacetime metric) might be engineered to provide energy/thrust for future space vehicles."

A search of the Internet revealed no other references to this 2010 paper; a search of the US  Defense Technical Information Center whose mission is to provide "...technical research, development, testing and evaluation (RD T&E) information" revealed no copy of the document. However, an eight page article of the same titled appeared in 2010, in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, Volume 63, pp82-89.

Unanswered questions

Questions which remain unanswered, include:

1. How did Corey Goode obtain the initial two 2010 DIA Dr Eric Davis DIRDs?

2. How did George Knapp acquire the 2010 DIA Puthoff DIRD?

3. Does anyone apart from the DIA and Davis/Puthoff have a copy of all 38 DIRDs?

4. Can we expect more of this series of DIRD's to surface, and when?

I have emailed Hal Puthoff a copy of the third document, and asked him whether or not it is genuine?
