The government's description

This document is an administrative, programmatic, or contractor-produced record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As part of the broader program record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, executed, or described at a particular point in time.

This April 2010 Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) investigation report documents field deployments to a Utah property and surrounding communities during March and April 2010. The report states that BAASS personnel interviewed local residents, law enforcement officers, ranchers, business owners, and tribal community members about reported anomalous events; used handheld sensors to collect environmental measurements; planned plant-based biosensor experiments; and sought photographic, acoustic, and chemical evidence of purported anomalous phenomena. It also records extensive reported accounts involving “dog-like bipedal creatures,” orbs of light, “little people,” “prehistoric-looking” birds, among other phenomena, and states that BAASS intended to use interactive methods to attempt communication with the presumed source of reported anomalous activity.

Map of Creature Sightings from Approximately Three-Mile Radius around the
Ranch

A Google Earth map of the ranch and surr,ounding areas was created (approx altitude of
map was from 30,000 feet). The locations of each creature sighting together with last
known direction of travel were obtained from each eyewitness and then plotted on the
map. Then, using an assumption of straight line travel (extrapolation of known direction
of movement of creatures), a series of straight lines were drawn on the map. The red
circles represent intersection points of these lines. In a sense, these intersection points
could be construed as arbitrary, particularly since it is recognized that the creatures may
have changed their direction of travel once out of sight of the eyewitnesses.
Nevertheless, with the above caveats in mind, it is noteworthy that there are three
intersection points of the creatures' putative lines of travel. It can be seen from the
figure that all three convergence points are very close to the ranch. One intersection
point lies just west of the ranch and the other two lie in the vicinity of Bottle Hollow
reservoir. If locations for sustained and continuous night watching to capture
sightings/photographs of these creatures were to be nominated, the three locations
delineated by the red circles could be top of the list.

Utah Ranch Report Abstract

The "Utah Ranch" investigation is an ongoing project which to date has incorporated
several deployments of investigators, scientists and engineers. The primary focus of
the Utah ranch investigations are:
•

To comprehensively interview a large number of people who have lived in the
area surrounding the Utah Ranch in order to delineate the scope and variety of
eyewitness reports in the area. The purpose is to establish commonalities and
differences with the ongoing reports of unusual activity on the ranch property
itself.

•

To use portable sensor equipment to measure baseline magnetic field
parameters, EM spectrum data, ionizing radiation and chemical elemental
analysis of soil on the Utah Ranch property and surrounding areas. It goes
without saying a primary purpose is to obtain definitive photographic, digital,
sound and chemical evidence of purported anomalies.

•

To use plants, including transgenic plants, as biosensors of multiple radiation and
magnetic field deviations from the norm on the ranch property. These plant
experiments have been tailored as user friendly reporting systems for
electromagnetic energy detection based on extensive research of the peer
reviewed literature.

•

To initiate a variety of games, puzzles, and other strategies in order to establish
communication with the source/origin of reported anomalies on the ranch
property.

Witnesses have reported unidentified balls of light at close range, daytime sightings of
"dog-like" creatures running on two legs, unnatural animalistic howling/screaming, "little
people", prehistoric-like birds and a maggot which measured about 8-feet long and 2 to
3-feet in diameter.
To date, May 7, 2010, over twenty-five (25) people have been contacted and
interviewed in person, predominantly at their homes. This group consists of all life-long
residents of the area within a mile or two of the ranch property, four (4) local police
officers, eleven (11) Native Americas, including a Shaman, the director of the local Fish
and Wildlife office, twelve (12) ranchers, six (6) business owners and approximately
fifteen (15) members of the Mormon Church. All of the people interviewed have had
7

first hand encounters. Eleven (11) separate individuals witnessed a bipedal "dog-like"
creature and/or orbs of light at different times in different locations near the Utah Ranch
property. Many of 1he reported observations took place during daytime and nighttime
and occurred from twenty years ago to as recent as April 2010. The eyewitness ages
ranged from fifteen to seventy-seven years old.
The following is a summary of the Utah ranch investigation findings to date
1. Comprehensive multiple witness descriptions of a large "dog" or "wolf' like
creature or creatures which have the ability to walk and run at speed on two legs.
Multiple witnesses have described in their interviews, when the creature is standing on
two legs, the estimated height is six to seven feet. From these interviews, there may be
at least three separate types of creatures. Total number of independent witnesses
(separately interviewed) eleven.
2. Multiple witness descriptions of small, hairy, three-foot tall "troff' like creatures
with long arms which appear to run in a similar way to chimpanzees or orangutan.
(Four independent ,eyewitnesses)
3. Multiple witnesses (>2) reports of large "worm" like cr,eatures, a prehistoric
"pterodactyl' like creature, "little people" and other anomalies. It should be noted the
vast majority of reports detailed in points 1-3 have allegedly occurred within the last five
to seven years.
4. Interspersed with the allegations of multiple creature sightings are multiple
reports of unidentified flying objects, to include unidentified aircraft and "balls of lighf'.
Some of these allegations are recent and some historic recollection.
5. BAASS has obtained photographs of tracks in the snow which remain
unidentified. These photographs jdentjfv £~) two sets of tracks merge into one, and (b)
~P P:~.~~~ -where tracks in-the snow on thd...._ _....,Ranch property appear to walk "through" a
barbed wire fence. BAASS has also obtained a variety of hair samples from the vicinity
of these tracks. These hair samples are currently undergoing scientific DNA analysis.

AASS has conducted comprehensive electromagnetic signature sweeps of the
.
Ranch property. One set of measurements taken at a point on the mesa at the
ranch indicated a strong, yet to be explained, signal which was not detected on previous
readings. The report described: "Location 02 recorded two large signals in both the
horizontal and vertical positions. These signals were not present the day before when
measurements were taken at DO. The first signal was 1210, 1213 and 1216 MHz and

8

the second large spike was 1232.5, 1235.5 and 1238.5 MHz. The signals fell in the
frequency bands of 1164-1215 and 1215-1240 MHz. This space is allocated for Earth
exploration-satellite (active), radio location G56, radio navigation-satellite (space-toEarth) (space to space) G132, and space research (active) . Provisions G56 and G132
state these frequency spans are primarily for military purposes, but they can be used by
other federal agencies in support of science and research" The signals were detectable
between 1-2 GHz with both horizontal and vertically polarized antennae. Further
measurements and research, particularly into satellite transmitting frequencies and
times will be required to identify the origin of these signals.

In the meeting with l 1843(a)(2) on March 24, 2010, he began by describing an event
which had just taken place the Monday prior to the visit. He explained a Skinwalker had
been on his property causing his dogs to "go wild." [ 3 claimsthedogs corneredJhe )843(a)(2)
Skinwalker and after repeatedly running into the fence, it (Skinwalker) took off toward
the old abandoned farm house across the road from his property. He said it was
definitely not a person and it appeared as a darkness moving very fast. He explained
the Skinwalker was moving at a high rate of speed "like a track star'' and was faster than
the Skinwalker he saw at l1843(a)(2)

1843(al(?_)_ More.. .intricatedetailswere·not·noticed-by·EJ as he said it was moving so quickly, he
could not see more than a black shadow. It was six feet tall and made a howling noise
which he said caused the surrounding coyotes to howl as well. He recalls the sound to
be the same howling sound he has heard in the past in conjunction with this creature
and says it was very loud. C ]stated it lasted about thirty minutes and he never left his

in
Recalling his encounter with the Skinwalker at 1843(a)(2)

l

I

January of 2010, he described the creature to be six feet tall and hunched over and
weighing approximately 250 lbs. He could see the fur where the Ii ht was shining on it
and described it as black fur and short like Investigate AAP Person 14 hair with the gray
coloring mixed in. The ears were pointed on the side of its head and it had a shorter
looking tail. It ran like it was leaping. The head was described as looking like a German
shepherd dog without the pointed nose. The nose was described to be more similar to
a human nose. He said the Skinwalker should not be looked at directly and said the
howl of the Skinwalker is a warning to let everyone know it is passing through.
1843(a).(?L .E ]discussed further the blue ball of light witnessed last year in relation to Bottle
Hollow Lake. He explained at first he thought the light to be a blue colored street light.
He also described its rate of speed to be like flare. It also crossed his mind it might be a
meteor. Once the light disappeared near Bottle Hollow Lake, he said he went back
inside the building. He came back out about thirty minutes later to see if the light was
around and said he then saw the three helicopters. He believed they were chasing the
light and when they had lost track of it, they (helicopters) simply flew away. The light
ascended from the lake area and took off toward "Skinwa/ker Ridge" in an arc-like path
after hovering in place for about ten seconds. The details he gave were necessary to
complete the necessary data for any lighting anomalies.
1843(aH?L L Jalso gave more information on the floating balls of light he mentioned as being so
commonly seen among the community. The distance of these floating balls of light was
approximately 125 yards away from him. He made the comparison of the behavior of
these balls of light to be similar to "Glenda the Good Witch" on the Wizard of Oz movie
when she was arriving or leaving as a ball of light. He said the lights would move
behind something as if they were trying to hide when his presence was noted.
Further details of the creature and the lights are noted on the attached spreadsheets.

Additionally, there have been other times during his youth whe~ 1843(a)(2 )
witnessed
similar creatures to the one depicted above. He described a time when him and a
group of kids came upon one of these creatures. The creature was frightening to them
so they began to throw stones. He also made the general statement when these
creatures are present, all dogs get quiet. He described one time in late summer when
all of the horses were running erratically in the field . His guess is one of these creatures
was scaring them. When he looked for the source of the commotion, he did not see
anything as his assumption, by his own admission, is clearly speculation.

I provided the BAASS team with two different recordings of a howling sound

Wyoming and the other is from the Winnebago Indian Reservation in Oklahoma.

Ranch ;·····s,x4 •

On April 6, 201 0 biosensor plants were transported to the
Spiderwort plants a nd six Tobacco Plants. These plants will serve as biosensors for the
presence of various types of radiation and/or chemicals/materials which can damage
DNA. Three of each plant was placed in two different locations (living room and
Bedroom) under grow lights which were set to cycle through sixteen hours of light and
eight hours of dark daily. Biologist~P Person 29
jutilized the April trip to check on the
health of the plants. At the time othe April deployment, the plants had only been at
~P P:.~.~?.r:i,. j.. --·
Ranch for two weeks, no observations or analysis can be drawn concerning
mutation levels in either tobacco or spiderwort.

I

•

Tobacco heterozygous for the sulfur mutation (Su/+): This assay is based on
a naturally occurring mutation at the Sulfur (Su) gene. Plants heterozygous for
the gene, Su/+ are pale green. Mutations that inactivate only the Su allele are
visualized as dark green spots while mutations of the wild type allele result in an
albino spot (yellow/white). Below is an example of the type of result that would be
expected upon exposure to a mutagenic agent.

Figure 9 - Su/+ tobacco plants exhibiting mutations in both alleles

Heterozygous plants are required for the bioassay. Initially the plants will be grown
inside the trailer and assayed for color spot changes. Once weather conditions at the
29

ranch allow, plants can be moved to outside locations, either in pots or perhaps planted
directly in the ground.IMP Person 29
!inspected all Tobacco leaves for the presence
of dark green spots; none are present at this time.
•

Spiderwort: This assay consists of microscopic observation of stamen hairs
for alterations in hair cell coloration from blue to pink. This indicates a
mutation inactivating the dominant blue color allele allowing expression of the
recessive pink color allele. Additionally, pink spots can also be assayed in the
flower petals. This assay requires microscopic observation, and will be done
on future scientific deployments. A close up of a spiderwort flower is included
below showing the appearance of the stamen hairs, which will need to be
examined under a microscope.

Fig ure 10. Close up picture of spiderwort stamens and stamen hairs

The plants require sixteen hours of light per day to promote flower development. Since
the assay involves microscopic examination of the flower, the examination of stamen
hairs and petals will be done by the scientific staff durin future routine deployments.
During the April deployment, Biologist AAP Person 29
assessed the health of the
plants and insured the light cycles are running on sixteen hours of light per day. The
April deployment was too soon to perform microscopic analysis.

Seed Experiment

A seed germination and growth experiment was set up at both BAASS and l~P Person
Ranch on April 22, 2010. AAP Person 18
set up the BAASS control experiment while

different locations. One location is the trailer living room while the second is the trailer 4 ••••••
bedroom. Plants will be grown to determine if differences exist in germination rate
and/or growth rate between the three locations. Two types of seeds will be grown in
each location; Stokes Sugar Snap Peas and Stokes Green Beans. Both seed types are
treated with fungicide to control contamination by fungus. The following steps were
taken when planning and setting up the seed experiments to ensure consistent
environmental factors are accounted for:

I --

•

All locations will be watered with distilled water.

•

Specialized containers known as "cone-tainers" are being utilized. Conetainers are elongated pots are arranged in a rack for optimal use of space
which can be reused many times. This approach will allow the plants to grow
for longer periods of time in order to assess plant growth. Two seed types
were planted on each tray allowing for forty-nine of each seed type to be
grown.

Figure 11 - Example of Cone-tainers and associated racks

•

The cone-tainers were placed under Jump Start TS Grow light systems. This
was to control the light cycles at each location. Timers were set on the light
systems to provide sixteen hours of light and eight hours of dark.

31

•

To control for extraneous light, large enclosures were placed over the grow
light systems. The amount of light will therefore be consistent.

Pictures will be taken and germination charts will be filled out twice daily for all
locations. Once germination data collection has been completed, germination charts
will be produced. When the experiment has been completed, plants from ~ P Person
Ranch will be brought back to BAASS for analysis. All plants will be measure an
weighed.
