Official position · S-047
In the sixth release the Pentagon warns that the AAWSAP DIRD studies are to be understood as reference and synthesis products, not as original research, and that the 2010 study on the effects of anomalous fields on biological tissues does not establish a direct causal link.

AATIP and AAWSAP
What it denies and what it leaves open
It scales down the scientific value of the AAWSAP documents published; it does not rule on Elizondo's role in the program or on the claims concerning harm caused by UAP.
- Original words
best understood as reference and synthesis products rather than as original research
- Who disputes it
- Supporters cite the 2010 study as an indication of biological effects of UAP; Elizondo testified in 2024 that he had seen government documentation on people injured in UAP incidents.
- Concerns
- Luis Elizondo
