Hazard Support System
The Hazard Support System is a detection and analysis system developed using data from Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites, mentioned in official DSP documentation as a project involving researchers at Aerospace Corporation. The 2014 DSP fact sheet states that "researchers at the Aerospace Corporation have used DSP to develop portions of a hazard support system that will aid Public Safety in the future."
Bob Fish Analysis
In his 2015 email to John Podesta (revealed through WikiLeaks), Bob Fish specifically cited this line from the 2014 DSP fact sheet as evidence that the DSP program continues to collect Fast Walker data 24 years after his initial encounter with DSP personnel in the late 1980s. Fish's interpretation suggests that the "hazard support system" involves continued analysis of anomalous objects detected by DSP satellites.
Dual-Use Interpretation
The term "hazard support system" has dual-use implications:
Public Safety Interpretation
On the surface, a hazard support system using DSP data could involve:
- Meteor and space debris tracking
- Near-Earth object monitoring
- Satellite collision warning
- Re-entry prediction for space hardware
These are legitimate public safety functions that DSP's infrared sensors would be well-suited to support.
UAP Detection Interpretation
However, given that:
- DSP has been detecting Fast Walkers since 1972
- Aerospace Corporation has been repeatedly identified by researchers including Jacques Vallee, Kit Green, Hal Puthoff, Eric Davis, and Kristen B. Zimmerman as a suspected UAP legacy program contractor
- The 2014 mention comes in a DSP fact sheet that otherwise downplays or omits discussion of anomalous detections
The "hazard support system" reference may serve as public acknowledgment of continued Fast Walker detection and analysis while framing it in terms that avoid explicit reference to UFOs or UAPs.
Aerospace Corporation Role
The Aerospace Corporation's involvement in developing "portions of" this system indicates the organization has access to and analyzes DSP detection data — including data on objects entering and leaving Earth's atmosphere that move too fast to be atmospheric phenomena. As a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) with access to Special Access Programs, Aerospace Corporation would have the clearances necessary to work with the most sensitive DSP detection records.
The corporation's campus in Long Beach, California has been identified by Ross Coulthart's sources as having "access to the wreckage" from UFO crash retrievals, suggesting its hazard support work may be connected to broader UAP program activities.
Classification and Disclosure
The fact that the hazard support system is mentioned in an unclassified DSP fact sheet suggests the program itself (or at least portions of it) are not classified, even if the data being analyzed — particularly Fast Walker detections — remains highly classified. This would allow Aerospace Corporation to acknowledge its DSP analysis work while avoiding disclosure of specific detection events or the full scope of anomalous objects being tracked.
Significance
The hazard support system represents one of the few officially acknowledged connections between DSP satellite operations, Aerospace Corporation analysis activities, and ongoing monitoring of objects entering and leaving Earth's atmosphere. Whether it is a genuine public safety initiative, a cover designation for Fast Walker analysis, or a dual-purpose system that serves both functions remains unclear due to classification restrictions.
