The Defense Intelligence Agency provides military intelligence to defense leaders, combatant commands, policymakers, and force planners across the United States government.
The Defense Intelligence Agency is a Department of Defense organization created in 1961 to integrate military intelligence for senior defense leaders, combatant commands, and national policymakers. It produces analysis of foreign military capabilities, manages human-intelligence and technical missions, and coordinates with the services and wider Intelligence Community. Its director is a military officer accountable through defense and intelligence leadership.
DIA’s work spans overt and clandestine collection, attaché reporting, scientific and technical intelligence, and support to operations. Many products remain classified because they expose foreign sources, American capabilities, or military judgments. A DIA contract or report demonstrates an authorized defense-intelligence activity, though individual contractor conclusions do not automatically become agency findings.
The agency awarded the 2008 AAWSAP contract to BAASS for advanced aerospace studies and anomalous-phenomena work. That program generated technical papers, databases, and investigations later central to disputes about AATIP and Skinwalker Ranch. DIA has also contributed to modern interagency UAP assessments. Public records confirm the contract and deliverables while leaving disagreement about the program’s intended emphasis and the evidentiary value of its extraordinary cases.
DIA’s importance lies in the meeting point between foreign military threats, technical possibility, and classified collection. That mandate makes unusual aerospace reports relevant without implying an alien conclusion. Accurate institutional history separates agency-approved requirements, contractor work, finished intelligence, and later personal accounts, each of which carries a different level of authority. The agency’s public reading room and contracting record provide anchors for that separation. They show what was authorized, when funds moved, and which products were delivered even where the interpretation of the work remains contested. Those records make DIA a central source for reconstructing the institutional transition from AAWSAP to later UAP efforts.

Pretty good news here for those interested. It's not disclosure of the extravagant claims made on podcasts or anything, but a pretty substantial data warehouse was created that Jacques Vallee mentions, and it would be pretty cool to get this declassified and made public record for use in open source data projects going forward.
[Retweeted] Looks like DIA has finally located the missing AAWSAP files.

For those curious, I wrote the DIA and DoW for comment on the AAWSAP files that are being referred to right now on the Bigelow Podcast. Wonder if a FOIA just got filed, too ;) A little let down that this is based on a communication, written by someone not named, and only segments of the letter were read and from my perspective, everything is vague. To be fair, this communication would be public information, so although I understand a DIA official's name is absolutely fair to withhold, the ent...
