Second, this narrative has been simmering for years and is largely an outgrowth of a former program at the DOD’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which was heavily influenced by a group of individuals associated with businessman and longtime ufologist Robert Bigelow, founder of Bigelow Aerospace. Inopen sources, particularly in records available on DIA’s electronic FOIA Reading Room. After the negative response by SECDEF, Senator Reid then enlisted the help of then senator Joseph Lieberman to request that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) set up an SAP for the same purpose. The administrative SAP proposal package was informed by the same individuals who had been associated with AATIP. AARO’s archival research has located the administrative proposal for the DHS SAP, complete with the participants, which has been declassified and is being reviewed for public release.
Finally, the key purveyors of this narrative have known one another for decades. In the early 2000s several members of this small group also participated in a study, erroneously characterized (by the same participants) as having been sponsored by the White House, on the possible societal impact of disclosing the existence of extraterrestrials to the public, with the authenticity of the abovementioned concealed government program taken as its baseline assumption. The think tank in question was a “futures” enterprise that often worked on fringe studies, and many of the individuals involved with the study also worked for Bigelow Aerospace in support of the AATIP program.

More from the captain statement:
The captain noticed that at 400 ft9, the aeroplane had clearly veered to the left. He was surprised. He saw the wheel move 45°10 to the left and did not see the co-pilot correct this. The co-pilot then called out “go around”. According to the captain, this was a critical situation: aborting the approach in a turn with the wheel turned in the same direction. The captain saw the co -pilot make a nose-up input on the control column, press the TO/GA switches and push the throttle levers forward. The power increased but the captain did not see the LNAV TO/GA display appear. The co-pilot then held the wheel with both hands and the pitch attitude became positive. But the wheel was still turned to the left
