“TTSA - a new filing with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission”

Quote from the article:
Offering circular

On 12 July 2019, the To The Stars Academy of Arts and Sciences [sic] (TTSA for short) undertook a further filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As with all these filings, there are always a few new pieces of information.

New Director

"In May 2019 the company appointed J Christopher Mizer to serve on the company’s Board of Directors...Mr Mizer will be considered an independent contractor and will receive a monthly fee of $5,000 as well as 300,000 shares of the company's class A common stock..."

The current staffing is:

Thomas Delonge - President, Interim CEO.
James Semivan - Vice President, Operations.
Harold Puthoff - Vice President, Science and Technology.
Louis Tommasino - Treasurer, CFO.
Stephen Justice - Director of Advanced Programs and Technology, COO.
Kari Delonge - Chief Communications Officer.
Lisa Clifford - Secretary.
Luis Elizondo - Chief of Security and Special programs.

The Board of Directors is:

Thomas Delonge; James Semivan; Harold Puthoff; J Christopher Mizer. (‘There is one additional director to be appointed.’  ‘We are looking for a CEO...to take over from T Delonge.’)

New member of the Advisory Board

There is one member of the TTSA Advisory Board, listed in the offering circular, who does not appear on the TTSA’s website list of their team. This is one, Chris Herndon. The offering circular provides the following information on Herndon:

‘Chris Herndon is a C-level Executive and Entrepreneur and currently serves as Chief Operating Officer of TechCentrics Inc. Previously he served for more than twenty years in the federal government, most recently as Deputy Assistant to the President and the Director of White House Information Technology...He began his career in telecommunications as a Department of the Navy civilian, where he supported organizations such as the National Reconnaissance Office, Office of Naval Research, Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the White House Communications Agency...’

My comment: Note that Herndon’s background was with the US Navy. This is interesting to me in that TTSA has been claiming success with influencing the US Navy to update its guidelines on reporting unidentified aircraft; and in briefing members/staffers in Congress. Note also, the reference to supporting agencies such as the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)

The role of the NRO, according to their website is ‘the U.S. government agency in charge of designing, building, launching and maintaining America's intelligence satellites.’

Given this role, the question of whether or not its sophisticated sensor network picks up UAP has been debated from time to time in the UFO literature.”

US Congressman Mark Walker was recently interviewed by Fox Newsman Tucker Carlson about UAP. The interview aired on Fox News Channel’s ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ on 26 July 2019. As there were a number of interesting exchanges during the interview, I have chosen to present my transcript of the entire interview for blog readers to digest. After the transcript, I will, as usual, have a few comments to make.”

“Congressman Has Written An Official Letter
To The Navy Demanding Answers On UFOs”


30 July 2019
(The Drive, U.S.A.)

U.S. Congressman and pastor Mark Walker (Republican) has asked Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer for more details about what the U.S. Navy is doing to record and asses unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) sightings, Joseph Trevithick writes.

It is very refreshing to see that a politician is taking the UFO phenomenon seriously.

Kudos to Mark Walker for doing a great job.

UFO News Article:
“MYSTERIOUS OBJECT SEEN OVER TAUNTON”


26 May 1962
(Taunton Courier, and Western Advertiser, UK)

Source: ufonewspaper.blogspot.com

The whole article:
“What was the object an airline pilot saw in the sky over Taunton on Monday? He is wondering whether it was a flying saucer.

Captain Gordon Pendleton was flying a Viscount airliner from Cork to Brussels when he saw the object.

‘I have never seen anything like it,’ he said. ‘It passed nearly 3,000 feet underneath me. I have always been sceptical about flying saucers.

‘If it had been a plane I should have seen the wings. It didn’t appear to have any.’

None of the 60 passengers, nor the two stewardesses saw the object.

The object was also seen by the plane’s first officer, Peter Murray, who described it as ‘large, brown and irregularly shaped.’ ‘It was smaller than a Viscount and travelling at more than 500 miles an hour,’ he said.

Captain Pendleton’s report was flashed from London Airport to the Air Ministry, where a spokesman later said it was being investigated.

Mr. Roy Julyan, chief air traffic controller at Filton, Bristol, aerodrome said: ‘There was a lot of cloud about, and at the height the thing was reported, no one would have seen it from the ground. I don’t believe in flying saucers, but there must be something in what the pilot has said.’ ”

The UFO incident occurred on 21 May 1962.

Wikipedia article: “Winnemucca Air Force Station”:


Quote from the Wikipedia article:
Winnemucca Air Force Station (ADC ID: M-127, NORAD ID: Z-127) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station. It is located 3.1 miles (5.0 km) north-northwest of Winnemucca, Nevada. It was closed in 1968.

History

The station was activated on 8 June 1955 after the 658th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was moved to the new station on 1 February 1956 by the 28th Air Division. Operational status was finally achieved by the 658th AC&W Squadron in 1956. The site used an AN/FPS-3 radar, and initially the station functioned as a Ground-Control Intercept (GCI) and warning station. As a GCI station, the squadron's role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit's radar scopes.
By 1959 this radar had been joined by a pair of AN/FPS-6B height-finder radars. In 1960 the AN/FPS-3 was replaced by an AN/FPS-20 search set. At the end of 1961 this search set had been upgraded into an AN/FPS-66. During 1961 Winnemucca AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) system, initially feeding data to DC-21 at Stead AFB, Nevada. After joining, the squadron was re-designated as the 658th Radar Squadron (SAGE) on 1 March 1961. The radar squadron provided information 24/7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range, direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile.”
