ASSESSMENT ASSESSMENT // KELLEHER AAWSAP BIOLOGICAL Also: Colm Kelleher, Kelleher BAASS, Kelleher AAWSAP biological, Kelleher NIDS Skinwalker, Kelleher DoD biodefense

01 Executive_Summary

ASSESSMENT: Dr. Colm Kelleher is the MISSING LINK between AAWSAP biological effects data collection and Nolan's brain damage research. PhD Biochemistry, Trinity College Dublin. CAREER: Immunology research (National Jewish Center Denver, 1991-1996) -> NIDS team leader, Skinwalker Ranch (1996-2004) — cattle mutilations, aerial events, EM effects -> Prosetta biotech, laboratory director (2004-2008) — DoD contracts targeting EBOLA, MARBURG, JUNIN, MACHUPO, RIFT VALLEY FEVER viruses -> BAASS deputy administrator (2008-2012) — led AAWSAP day-to-day operations, 50 investigators, 30,000 pages -> Bigelow Aerospace ECLSS (2012-2020) — life support for expandable spacecraft in LEO. AAWSAP BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS MANDATE: 'AAWSAP was unique because it specifically mandated examination of the effects of UAPs on people in addition to elucidating UAP performance. This meant data on MEDICAL INJURIES, PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS, PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS and PARANORMAL EFFECTS were collected and entered into what became the LARGEST UAP DATABASE IN THE WORLD.' CRITICAL CONNECTION: Kelleher's AAWSAP collected medical/physiological data on UAP-exposed personnel -> Nolan studies brain damage in ~100 personnel -> Sol Foundation connects both. Kelleher's DoD biodefense background (Ebola, Marburg) = biomedical expertise applied to UAP effects. BAASS also analyzed biological AND non-biological samples (UNLV contract, 10 chemical analysis companies, 3 microbial analysis companies). 'Colocation and temporal overlaps between nuts-and-bolts UAPs, extraordinary creatures, poltergeist activity.' Books: 'Hunt for the Skinwalker' (2005), 'Skinwalkers at the Pentagon' (2021).
