Key Relationships
- → Kelleher (Bio Effects) (assessment): Reid's $22M funded BAASS (Kelleher deputy admin). BAASS collected biological effects data. Reid enabled the program that collected medical/physiological UAP data -> Nolan brain damage research.
- → Lacatski (Kona Blue) (assessment): Reid requested SAP for AAWSAP (DIA rejected) + PSAP for Kona Blue (DHS killed). Both blocked by 'opposition' = existing classified programs. Reid = political champion, Lacatski = DIA creator.
- → Knapp (LMT-BAASS) (assessment): Reid 'confirms Lockheed Martin' in congressional document. $22M to SCIF-out Bigelow for materials. Lockheed-BAASS negotiation = materials transfer that Reid funded SCIF for. Same pipeline.
- → Bigelow (NIDS/BAASS) (assessment): Reid secured $22M, originally to SCIF-out Bigelow facilities for classified materials. Reid + Bigelow = political + private infrastructure partnership. Inouye + Stevens co-sponsors.
- ← UAP Disclosure Act (assessment): Reid (2008) secured $22M + SAP requests. Schumer+Rounds (2023) = continuation of Reid's political fight. Both Senate champions. Both blocked by existing classified programs.
- → Kona Blue (AARO) (assessment): Reid + Lieberman requested PSAP for Kona Blue. AARO declassified it (Feb 2024). Reid's SAP requests were blocked by 'opposition' = existing programs didn't want oversight.
