April 5, 2022: LiveScience reported the DIA’s release of 1,574 pages of AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program) documents via FOIA — the program that ran from 2007-2012 under the DIA, only revealed publicly in 2017 when Elizondo resigned. The standout document: “Anomalous Acute and Subacute Field Effects on Human and Biological Tissues” (March 2010). Key findings from the document: (1) Describes 42 cases from medical files and 300 “unpublished” cases of humans sustaining injuries after encounters with “anomalous vehicles.” (2) Injuries documented as consistent with exposure to electromagnetic radiation — specifically burns described as potentially inflicted by “energy-related propulsion systems.” Also documented: brain damage, nerve damage, heart palpitations, headaches, sleep disturbances. (3) A biological effects database compiled from witness accounts between 1873 and 1994 includes: radiation burns, “unaccounted for pregnancy,” “apparent abduction,” paralysis, perceived telepathy, teleportation, and levitation. (4) The document’s conclusion: there is sufficient evidence “to support a hypothesis that some advanced systems are already deployed, and opaque to full US understandings.” (5) The package also included research into invisibility cloaks, deep space exploration/colonization plans, and studies on advanced aerospace propulsion. The report categorizes the most extreme encounters as CE5 (Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind): “close encounters resulting in permanent psychological injury or death.” CRITICAL NOTE: The DIA withheld portions of the 1,574 pages citing “privacy and confidentiality concerns” — meaning redacted cases exist beyond the 42 documented medical files.
