◈ Thesis #71: Institutional UAP Investigation Continuity (AAWSAP→AATIP→UAPTF→AARO→PURSUE 2007–2026)
🔗 Score 9.1/10
Five successive US government programs for UAP investigation — AAWSAP (2007), AATIP (2012), UAPTF (2020), AARO (2022), PURSUE Act (2026) — demonstrate an uninterrupted institutional continuity spanning 19 years. Four key individuals connect all levels: Jay Stratton (AAWSAP+UAPTF), Luis Elizondo (AATIP), Sean Kirkpatrick (AARO), Pete Hegseth (PURSUE). The continuity proves that UAPs are being treated as a persistent national security problem — not as an episodic phenomenon.
