New Report Reveals Secret UFO Program that Considered Nuking the Moon

Secret documents of government-funded research which became public in 2017 revealed the research priorities of the secretive Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP), which includes worm holes, anti-gravity devices, and invisibility cloaks.

Since its existence was revealed, the U.S. government's now-defunct Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) has received various criticism from UFO disclosure advocates, activists, and journalists for non-transparency, Vice reported.

The AATIP which was funded by the Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA, has since insisted that they weren't working on secret UFO program, but former employees of the program say otherwise.

The new documents which include nearly 1,600 pages have perhaps revealed the most intriguing collection of reports on "traversable wormholes, stargates, and negative energy", "high-frequency gravitational wave communications", "warp drive, dark energy, and the manipulation of extra dimensions", and many others, according to LiveScience.

Many of these reports stress the impracticalities of implementing advanced technologies, including the alleged blasting through the lunar crust and mantle using thermonuclear explosives.

Is Nuking the Moon Feasible?

While the U.S. or other countries has not nuked the moon and currently shows no intention to do so, authors of a report on "negative mass propulsion" suggests that we can look for extremely lightweight metals in the center of the moon, which may be "100,000 times lighter than steel, but still [have] the strength of steel."

Large amounts of negative masses have been trapped in gravitational potential wells for over billions of years. According to the authors, there are two possibilities to free negative masses hidden behind positive masses. First is the application of strong electromagnetic or gravitational fields or by high particle energies, and second, searching for places in the universe from which the negative masses can be mined.

While the first of these two possibilities may not be attainable, the second could technically be feasible by making a tunnel through the moon, not possible for the deeper potential well of the earth.

"Making a tunnel through the moon, provided there is a good supply of negative mass, could revolutionize interstellar space flight," the authors wrote.

Contrary to NASA's Upcoming Artemis Missions

Regardless of the possibility of nuking the moon for negative masses, rattling the Earth's only natural satellite with nuclear explosions would be contrary to NASA's Artemis 1 moon mission. It is the mission's ultimate goal to establish a sustainable human presence there for the first time since the Apollo era.

Until now, the released documents of scientific research, contracts, presentations, briefings, and memos related to the program discussing a variety of exotic speculative technologies is unclear. However, as far as we know, none of these technologies ever seem to have gotten remotely close to being a reality, according to Vice. In fact, the AATIP and AAWSAP have not been doing much of in-house research, but relied largely on contract research conducted by a private company called Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Studies (BAASS), owned by eccentric hotel magnate Robert Bigelow.

Bigelow, also a personal friend of late Sen. Harry Reid, who was responsible for the creation of AATIP, was awarded a $10 million contract for their first year of research for the program.
