   Shocking Documents Show Government Paid Millions to Chase UFOs and Werewolves   
   The Debrief, 13 Jan 2021   
   In 2008, the United States Defense Intelligence Agency gave $22 mn   
   to the exotic science division of Las Vegas bnaire Robert   
   Bigelow's space startup -- Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, or   
   BAASS -- to study "breakthrough technologies" and UFOs. ...   
   "The people putting out the bid thought it would be better that it   
   didn't say flying saucers or unidentified flying objects," former Sen.   
   Reid told The Debrief in an interview. "It was thought by many that it   
   would just draw too much attention, and by it being phrased the way it   
   was, we had somebody from the Defense Intelligence Agency draw out the   
   specs of it. It covered that anyway." ...   
   Among other tasks, BAASS sent its investigators to Utah to investigate   
   sightings of strange phenomena at the infamous Skinwalker Ranch and in   
   the greater Uinta Basin that surrounds it. Skinwalker Ranch is   
   currently owned by real estate mogul Brandon Fugal; prior to his   
   purchase of the property in 2016, the 512-acre ranch was owned by   
   Robert Bigelow himself.
