The Budget Ends, the Questions Remain

The specific DIA contract with BAASS winds down at the end of 2010, with final paperwork following in early 2011. That ends the funded AAWSAP contract trail, but not every Pentagon UAP effort. Later public accounts often pulled much of this history under the better-known AATIP name.

Background

AAWSAP was the funded DIA contract with BAASS. That contract trail winds down at the end of 2010, with final paperwork following in early 2011. After that, there is no longer a large $22 million program β€” but the UAP questions continue inside the Pentagon and are later often told under the better-known name AATIP.

The core confusion is simple: AAWSAP was the funded contract. AATIP became the better-known name for a smaller later DoD track and for the public story after 2017.
