Recently Retired USAF General Makes Eyebrow Raising Claims About Advanced Space Technology - The War Zone

Retired Lt. General Steven L. Kwast is a man with a mission. Kwast aims to convince Congress and the American people that making the new "Space Force" a Manhattan-Project-style initiative is an absolute must for U.S. values to predominate over those of particularly China for the foreseeable future. Brett Tingley espied comments within a November Kwast speech, however, that struck him as particularly important to the recent excitement and confusion about U.S. potential aerospace capabilities. Tingley sets these remarks and this speech into context and links to relevant articles, as well as embedding the full Kwast presentation and Q&A into his article. The December 16, 2017 revelations of a secret UFO studies program and public release of two Naval videos of anomalous objects seem to have begun or at least accelerated UFO-related discussions in the mainstream media. Jack Brewer says that Two Years After AATIP Story Many Questions Remain. Brewer's points are well taken, but the fact that Sarah Scoles in an article now 20-months-old identified AATIP as "Advanced Aviation (not Aerospace) Threat Identification Program" does not convince. Far more recent articles by Keith Kloor and John Greenewald which Jack cites refer to AATIP as "Advanced Aerospace," as does the Amazon promotional blurb for Scoles' upcoming book They Are Already Here: UFO Culture and Why We See Saucers. Keith Basterfield's December 14th Clarification Given by Pentagon Re That AATIP $M10 or $M22? repeats a communication from a May 25 2019 email from Pentagon spokesperson Susan L. Gough to Swedish researcher Roger Glassel. Gough explains how the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was funded in two increments, that 38 technical reports were "delivered," and the results of an OSD/DIA review "in late 2009." Basterfield challenges blog readers to seek out the relevant appropriations budget lines. (WM)
