DISCLOSURE DISAPPOINTS
Following the US Department of Defense’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) being made public in 2017 (), the US version of website filed a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to find out more about the programme. Four years after their initial filing, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) finally released 1,574 pages of information to the paper in early April, with some parts redacted for “privacy and confidentiality concerns”. Much of this was the result of work contracted out by Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BLASS) to study and others were things published by the UFO community now being given spurious authority by having been recycled through the intelligence system.
