UFO program presented weapons Killer Space Lasers & Crowd-Control Heat

UFO program: By 2030, laser-equipped spaceships were thought to be a possibility, and a secret government agency wanted to make planes invisible.

The now-defunct Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which ran from 2007 to 2012, investigated the viability of these and other outlandish ideas, such as nuking the moon.

The majority of the sci-fi-like ideas, which were theoretical or speculative and never came to fruition, were included in a 1,600-page report from the secretive Department of Defense (DoD).

According to the 2009-2010 report, “space offers the ideal environment for laser beam propagation,” which can crack or melt targets such as missiles.

“These devices do offer the potential for a whole new class of weapons and capabilities which may complement (but not replace) existing kinetic energy (KE) weapons and electronic warfare.”

Kinetic energy weapons, such as bullets, shells, missiles, and bombs, can hit stationary targets while causing collateral damage and unintended consequences.

“High Energy Laser (HEL) weapons, by contrast, begin delivering the laser beam’s energy to the target at the speed of light,” according to the report.

“However, they require a finite dwell time to accumulate enough thermal energy (heat) on the aim point to achieve the desired effect (similar to a blowtorch).

“The strength of an HEL weapon is its ability to precisely deliver a limited quantity of energy to a small spot with little collateral damage to nearby objects of people.

“Speed-of-light energy transfer, coupled with precision tracking, allows HEL weapons to efficiently engage softer targets which are highly maneuverable, only visible for short periods of time or at extremely long range.”

According to the report, spacecrafts could be equipped with lasers “in 20 years,” but “policy (not legal) concerns” would prevent the DoD from deploying them.

It mentioned a “microwave device for crowd control, called Active Denial, which has been shown to produce temporary pain without any injury” as an example of technology that “policy” had put on hold.

“Other counties may not exhibit similar restraint, as evidenced by the open marketing of laser-blinding weapons despite a 1980 Geneva Convention prohibiting their development or use,” the report said.

‘ULTIMATE OPTICAL ILLUSION: INVISIBILITY’

The agency investigated cloaking technology with the goal of making the fictitious Marvel comic book character Invisible Woman a reality.

According to the report, the theory behind “invisible” planes is that “light-refracting materials – like glass or water – appear as curved spaces by themselves.”

The “ultimate optical illusion: invisibility” would be created by bending light around an object.

HOW THE REPORT BECAME PUBLIC

Officials also feared that if the programme had been carried out, it would have resulted in the militarization of space, fueling fears of a galactic conflict.

The report was made public after The Sun requested a copy of all “files, reports, or video files” related to the Pentagon’s secretive UFO programme, the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP), under the Freedom of Information Act on December 18, 2017.

The shocking FOIA haul includes reports on the DIA’s research into the biological effects of UFO sightings on humans, such as burns, heart problems, and sleep disturbances, as well as strange occurrences like “apparent abduction” and “unaccounted for pregnancy.”

One document defines “anomolous behaviour,” with encounters with “ghosts, yetis, spirits, elves, and other mythical/legendary entities” classified as “AN3,” and seeing a UFO with aliens on board classified as “CE3.”

Other documents obtained include research into communicating with alien civilizations, as well as plans for deep space exploration and colonisation.

It was revealed in 2017 by whistleblower Luis Elizondo, who oversaw the programme.

Two shocking videos of unexplained UFO sightings by US military personnel – both of which were investigated by AATIP – were also released at the time.

Over a five-year period, approximately $22 million in funding was provided.
