Mystery Wire has reported a possible step forward in the long-running search for records from the Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Applications Program, better known as AAWSAP. Its October 7, 2026 episode, featuring Robert Bigelow, says the Defense Intelligence Agency has located previously missing program files.
A follow-up report by KLAS journalist Ron Futrell, published October 9 and syndicated by AOL, describes a letter sent to Bigelow about compiling information for release. Futrell reports that no release date has been set and that preparing the material could take years.
The development remains attributed to Mystery Wire and KLAS. The complete DIA correspondence and an inventory of the records have not been independently inspected for this article, so their wording, scope and completeness remain open questions.
Why the archive matters
The latest report follows an earlier account from George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell. In the publisher’s description of their September 25 WEAPONIZED episode, they said AAWSAP produced a much larger investigative archive than the program-related material already released publicly.
That description attributed claims that thousands of pages had been delivered to DIA to Bigelow, James Lacatski and Colm Kelleher. It provides a record of what program participants say was handed over, while leaving the contents of that larger collection to be established through the documents themselves.
In Futrell’s new report, Kelleher argues that fuller records could supply context missing from released UAP videos and data. The report also identifies witness privacy as a concern: people interviewed during investigations had supplied information on the understanding that their identities would be protected.
The next useful evidence
For researchers, an itemised inventory would be an important starting point. It could separate administrative paperwork, commissioned technical studies, case investigations and database material, and show whether the newly described collection overlaps with files already available.
The full correspondence would also help establish exactly what stage the process has reached. Locating records, reviewing them for release and publishing readable copies each require separate evidence. A podcast announcement cannot show how much material ultimately reaches the public or how extensive its redactions will be.
As of October 11, the accessible reporting supports a cautiously worded update about prospective records access. It supplies neither a verified release timetable nor new evidence establishing the nature or origin of any reported UAP.
