Ever wonder what some of the redacted portions of UFO- related DIRD documents are? Well, sometimes they screw up and release multiple versions, and some are not redacted.

Why would the DoD feel the need to redact the name of the Acquisition Support Division (DWO-3) of the Defense Warning Office?

Or the author of the DIRD? Was there an affiliation with companies in and around Austin, Texas that they didn’t want to connect?

What about James Lacatski, the Defense Warning Office manager of the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Application Program?

So many dots to connect- why don’t y’all have a dig? You might be surprised at what you find- particularly the companies that were operating in Austin at the time of publication (2010).
