Background According to the document: Almost forty years ago, United States leaders created a hybrid National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to meet the unusual intelligence demands of the nuclear age and the Cold War. The chain of events began when President Dwight D. Eisenhower and a few confidants undertook national and international initiatives between 1953 and 1961 intended to help preclude a surprise nuclear attack. Among them, they approved for development remarkable overhead technical systems that could collect reliable intelligence about the military equipage and disposition of Soviet forces; in the process they opened the Soviet Union to American scrutiny. During this…

Background According to the “Schedule” portion of the contract/agreement: There are currently no medical countermeasures available for the prophylaxis or treatment of infection with Ebola virus, a high priority agent for the Public Health Emergency medical Countermeasures Enterprise (PHEMCE) Implementation Plan. An effective prophylactic vaccine would find application with medical personnel and close contacts during outbreaks in endemic areas of sub-Saharan Africa, with laboratory workers engaged in filovirus research, and with military and civilian personnel threatened by weaponized filoviruses. The ideal vaccine to meet both the outbreak and bio-weapon scenarios would rapidly confer protection with a single administration. Pre-clinical studies…

The environment is described not only in terms of the preferences and values of people and agencies, but also in terms of the structure and function of basic ecosystems. Accordingly, significant effort was devoted to a map overlay of ecological life zones, species lists and habitats.” The Atlas also profiles Sasquatch aka “Bigfoot” in the Atlas. A sightings map, details on Bigfoot and multiple drawings appear. It also recounts an FBI analysis of Sasquatch…
Background According to the report: “This study was tasked with the purpose of conducting a thorough literature and program search to carry out and document a technical assessment of the latest concepts in science and engineering that show promise of leading to a major advance in Earth-to-orbit (ETO) propulsion. The study also reviewed and evaluated a select number of credible far-term breakthrough propulsion physics concepts pertaining to R&D work done on or related to gravity/inertia modification, spacetime metric modification, and the extraction of energy from the space vacuum environment. The results of the study are presented and summarized in this…
Background According to the document: “This study was tasked with the purpose of collecting information describing the teleportation of material objects, providing a description of teleportation as it occurs in physics, its theoretical and experimental status, and a projection of potential applications. The study also consisted of a search for teleportation phenomena occurring naturally or under laboratory conditions that can be assembled into a model describing the conditions required to accomplish the transfer of objects. This included a review and documentation of quantum teleportation, its theoretical basis, technological development, and its potential applications. The characteristics of teleportation were defined and…
