The document outlines BAASS's proposed strategy, priorities, and projects to address technical areas including physics of advanced aerospace threats, oral history collection from knowledgeable individuals, and review of historical cases excluded from prior investigations such as Project Blue Book. It includes appendices reproducing historical materials, among them a 2002 affidavit attributed to a former Roswell Army Air Field public information officer. The affidavit describes a 1947 meeting where officers discussed two recovery sites, examination of unusual thin yet strong metallic fragments, observation of an egg-shaped metallic craft approximately 12-15 feet long in a guarded hangar (Building 84), and two small bodies (roughly 4 feet tall with large heads) under a canvas tarpaulin. The affiant states conviction that the observed items were a craft and crew from outer space. The plan itself presents these as part of historical context for further investigation rather than verified findings.
