According to foreign media The Verge, a document released this month shows that a multi-million-dollar Defense Department plans to secretly research invisible cloaks, curved-speed engines, and many other areas of marginal space science as now canceled. Part of the plan to detect and potentially explain strange sightings in the Earth’s atmosphere
This five-page document includes a list of documents prepared for the program, which was originally sent to two members of Congress last year. The document was released on January 16 as a response to the request of the American Institute of Scientists’ Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
Between 2007 and 2012, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) spent $22 million on this UFO program, officially known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). In 2017, the New York Times reported for the first time the existence of long-standing hidden AATIP, and officials have been investigating UFO reports for many years
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) took the lead in taking action. Much of the funding for the program is for aerospace research, but according to these new documents, some of them also focus on more speculative research on the subject, which sounds like they are directly derived from science fiction
These documents were originally sent to the US Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) and Senator Jack Reid (D-RI), whose staff expressed these documents in January 2018. Interested. In this letter, the Defense Intelligence Agency stated that the purpose of AATIP is to “investigate the threat of foreign advanced aerospace weapons from now to the next 40 years.” All products produced under the Defense Intelligence Agency’s AATIP program list senators and Its staff, many of whom have been publicly released nearly a decade ago. In some cases, the work of researchers has received a lot of attention
Since the beginning of the 21st century, Professor Ulf Leonhardt, a researcher at the University of St. Andrews, has been working on the development of invisibility cloaks. Based on these newly published documents, he has written a report on the status of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Leonhardt’s research focuses on how light, space, and other materials such as water and glass are distorted to produce invisible effects
In 2009, Leonhardt said in an interview with BBC News, “The invisible ideas of thousands of years have fascinated people and inspired many myths, novels and movies. I plan to develop some that may treat invisible science as applicable technology. The idea of visibility.”
This study does not create any invisibility cloak as you saw in Harry Potter, but it does use some of the visual illusions behind the same science. When light passes through a material, the direction of propagation generally changes, a process called refraction. The study determined that if something is surrounded by a material that refracts light, the material will direct it around its cover, and the object or area will appear invisible
In addition, this document also mentions wormhole research. In theory, a wormhole is a space tunnel that connects two distant time and space. Although it is used continuously in science fiction, scientists have not observed evidence of the existence of wormholes
The Defense Intelligence Agency report determined that the government will not soon see the use of wormholes, but despite the bleak prospects, it still requests ongoing research support. “Scientific and technological advances are fast, but they are highly dependent on full and sustained attention,” the researchers wrote. “On this basis, as long as there is a centralized, sustained long-term research support level, traversable wormholes can be displayed in the laboratory.”
Similar to the wormhole, the Defense Intelligence Agency explored the use of a tempo engine as a means of propelling spacecraft through interstellar medium. The researchers found that the technology may also be less than achievable
Since the 1947 Roswell incident in New Mexico, the US government’s interest in UFOs, aliens, etc. has been a topic of debate and public concern. Although the Air Force has issued a number of reports on this incident, legislators are still under pressure from the public to disclose documents related to the crash or the government’s so-called X-Files
