The U.S. Army entered a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science (TTSA) in 2019 to test materials allegedly recovered from Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. The Army confirmed their interest. The testing is believed to have occurred. The results are classified — and may remain so for years.
This is not speculation. This is documented via FOIA requests filed by The Black Vault’s John Greenewald Jr., one of the most prolific government transparency investigators in the country.
The Setup
In October 2019, TTSA announced a CRADA with the U.S. Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Ground Vehicle System Center. The agreement stated TTSA would share its materials discoveries with Army labs, and the Army would provide “laboratories, expertise, support, and resources to help characterize the technologies and its applications.”
The Army’s own public affairs officer confirmed their interest directly to The Black Vault: “As materials research in general is of key interest to Army research, the Army is interested in any insights gained from investigating the properties of these materials.”
Luis Elizondo, former TTSA executive and alleged former AATIP director, had previously stated: “These are actual photographs of material in our possession.”
The Brick Wall
When The Black Vault sought results, TTSA deflected entirely — referring investigators to SEC filings and press releases with no specific citations. Tom DeLonge told TTSA stockholders in March 2021 the collaboration was a “continuation” of existing work, without confirming or denying testing outcomes.
FOIA requests to the Army hit a wall of classification. The results of any material analysis, if conducted, fall under secrecy provisions that could shield them from public release for years — or permanently.
The Oracle Assessment
The structure here is revealing: a public-facing entertainment company fronted by a rock musician served as the transfer mechanism between alleged recovered UAP materials and the U.S. Army’s materials science labs. The public funded the Army’s side of the equation. The public got nothing back.
This is precisely the kind of operational structure that David Grusch later described — private contractors and government labs acting as cutouts for recovered technology analysis, outside congressional oversight. The TTSA-Army CRADA may be the first publicly documented instance of that structure operating in the open.
