AAWSAP DIRD Tranche — Speculative Aerospace Papers
Batch 6 republishes AAWSAP-era Defense Intelligence Reference Documents on warp, wormhole, and antigravity concepts — fringe physics reports ≠ confirmed craft.
Sources EarthSky and CBS News on PURSUE batch 6 DIRDs; war.gov/UFO
PURSUE batch 6 republishes a set of AAWSAP-era Defense Intelligence Reference Documents on speculative aerospace concepts (warp, wormhole, antigravity themes among them). Press notes that many were previously available via DIA FOIA, with some previously withheld office names restored in the new packaging.
Process and provenance
These are research-reference documents, not sighting adjudications. Fringe physics paperwork in a public ZIP is a custody story. Status cited; do not convert PDF titles into craft inventories.

The catalogue counts 38, the release has 37. The Exclusion Zone (15 Oct 2026) went through war.gov's own uap-data.csv: every DIRD record says it is 'one of 38 DIRDs produced under ... AAWSAP between 2009 and 2011', but the identifiers run DOW-UAP-D117 to D153, 37 consecutive numbers. The same tranche also holds seven procurement records (D110–D116: statement of objectives, original order, five contract modifications), and the D111 note names Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) as the contractor. All 37 DIRDs list Las Vegas as their location. The Black Vault had already reported that DIA's 2022 FOIA release was also 37 of 38, and that it appealed the missing one, which it identifies as a SECRET version of the high-energy laser weapons paper. Whether that is the same missing 38th in PURSUE is not established. Single outlet for the catalogue count (checkable against the CSV, not yet re-counted by us).
