I can't remember were I heard it. But I do remember someone saying Elizondo's immediate boss didn't even know he was working on AATIP. Appreciate you may have covered it in your article.
He says that even his immediate supervisor in the Pentagon was unaware of the program. Only a small list of people scattered in different branches and agencies had a need to know.
We had some incredible men and women who were part of this effort and I had support from my senior, very senior levels of leadership that the program was in fact to be turned over to one of my successors and that was effectively done.

Do you suspect that whatever Zondo was originally involved with it wasn't exactly what he's been telling us.
Perhaps, ending up as a bunch of Pentagon staff unofficially 'hunting for UFOs' in their lunch hours?

I know that I would not be able to get away with working on something that my immediate supervisor was unaware of. Perhaps on Wednesday's (or whatever day) Zondo was called in by a 'bigger' boss and work for them and it was all hush hush. It's all very peculiar isn't it.

Whatever the arrangement the evidence so far does point to an almost 'rogue' operation to hunt UFOs under the guise of project with a different objective.
Although I have an open appeal on the above with the DOD, it is noted they just wanted to forward my request to the Defense Intelligence Agency instead. However, due to the fact that Mr. Elizondo stated clearly he worked within OSD (not DIA)

That was a long read. But essentially captured most of the important details.
I've 'stolen' the timeline from your blog as I think it's an essential snapshot of how things have developed.
Then of course there are all the people quaified in neuro-sciences on the TTSA advisory team. They aren't going to build a spaceship.

Does anyone have any idea why BAASS needed to translate (probably a significant amount of) data from French to English?

How many BAASS employees you have located or tried to contact?
I can provide the list of names to you if you are interested and suspect there might be some you haven't seen. I don't have any plans trying to contact them myself.

The French agency, GEIPAN, had started (but not completed) digitising its files in various batches at the time that the BAASS translators were at work. See, for example:
cnes.fr...
Jacques Vallee had various links to those involved in BAASS and was (and later remained) interested in GEIPAN's files and work. I've presumed that Vallee's interest was, directly to indirectly, behind the engagement of the French translators by BAASS.

I've tried to contact about 18 directly working for BAASS and a handful more working for BAASS sub-contractors.
Then we have the other factors. The drip, drip of information. The fact that the Pentagon seem to be particularly careful what they say about AATIP/AAWSAP and even the characters involved (almost nothing). Then of course there are all the people quaified in neuro-sciences on the TTSA advisory team. They aren't going to build a spaceship.
