The BUSKLAW November Newsletter: About the U.S. Army's Extraterrestrial Technology Acquisition Contract!

This post would appear to be a Halloween prank, but it isn't. On October 10, 2019, the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command signed a contract [or in government parlance, a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)] with To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science, Inc. for the acquisition of the latter's ET(?) technology. The entire contract is available here, but I'll save you from the content that isn't worth your time.  

But first some history. Once there was a punk rock group called Blink 182, founded by Tom DeLonge. Tom eventually became more enthused about UFOs than rock music and decided to seriously study unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP). He claims to have formed relationships with top government officials to eventually disclose to the public what's behind UAP. In the meantime, Tom formed a public corporation, To the Stars Academy (TSA), to be a "revolutionary collaboration between academia, industry and pop culture to advance society’s understanding of scientific phenomena and its technological implications." Now that's what I call a mission statement! 

Back to the CRADA. In Article 3 (Objectives), TSA is described as having made "discoveries" of "metamaterials and quantum physics" that offer "capability advancements for Army ground vehicles." Article D (Technical Tasks and Associated Resources) of the attached Joint Work Plan further describes TSA's proprietary technologies as "inertial mass reduction, mechanical/structural metamaterials, electromagnetic metamaterial wave guides, quantum physics, quantum communications, and beamed energy propulsion."  Whew, that's quite a laundry list of out-of-this-world (ET) technology! (And I'm not sure how anyone can claim "quantum physics" as something they own.) How did TSA get this technology? They won't say. 

That's where the rubber meets the road. Regarding metamaterials (perhaps from a crashed ET craft?), according to a September 2019 U.S. Securities and Exchange filing, TSA paid a whopping $35K to have them tested. The result? According to Vice, those small bits of allegedly alien materials turned out to be ordinary "Bismuth/Magnesium-Zinc metal alloy and a piece of aluminum." One expert called the alloy "not much more than a piece of slag from an industrial process." 

Fortunately for us taxpayers, the CRADA doesn't require the U.S. Army to pay anything to TSA for this stuff. The value to the parties lies in the fact that the U.S. Army will use its resources to test, refine, and (hopefully) use TSA's materials for military purposes, and TSA will benefit from any positive (ahem) results in terms of products that it can develop and market for commercial use. Perhaps TSA can open up new revenue sources to reduce its accumulated deficit of over $47 million as of June 30, 2019. (You can help by purchasing TSA stock; the minimum investment is $350.)

Whether or not based on ET technology, I'd love this CRADA to result in advancements that will benefit the U.S. Army - and everyone else. But I'm not holding my breath. This smacks of smoke and mirrors.
