In April 2009, BAASS formed a small team to investigate reports of unidentified phenomena. Concurrently, the company acquired information from a group that collects such reports.
The report describes not only information gathering but also preparations for field and laboratory examinations. In other words, BAASS established a process to move from a phenomenon report to an investigation of the site or related material. However, what exactly transpired through this process remains unclear.
Where Did the Reports Come From?
The information originated from MUFON, a civilian network that collects reports on unidentified phenomena. BAASS acquired data on these reports from MUFON. The report clarifies that this involved information gathered through the network's reports, not the objects or materials themselves.
The company also reviewed materials on unidentified phenomena published by several foreign governments. Thus, its work encompassed both reports collected by a civilian network and information already released by other countries. The report summarizes the company's activities throughout April, detailing the collection and examination of information as part of its operations.
A Team Ready for Field Deployment
That same month, BAASS developed the capability to dispatch a small team for field investigations. This team was intended to examine reports at the locations where they occurred. The report outlines the preparation of such a team, alongside arrangements for future scientific analyses.
Should material arrive via MUFON reports, the company would be able to determine its composition and analyze it. These were preparations for potential examinations, not a description of results already obtained. This created a plan connecting reports, field visits, and material analysis.
What Remains Unknown
The report does not disclose what appeared in the reports BAASS acquired, whether the team embarked on any specific investigation, or what materials, if any, were submitted for analysis. It also does not offer a conventional explanation for any particular phenomenon, as it does not describe a specific case.
What remains is a picture of a team ready to deploy and an analysis that might follow. But the report concludes before the moment when the team's findings could be revealed.
