1 interesting part I see in scanning through is their mentioning of the phrase "breakthrough technology", which is a phrase that has generally always been classified as "woo". Strange to see it in an official document. They drop it in such a way as to try to cause fear though (of course, da Rooskies have UFOSs! oh no!!). IMO the document's purpose is to cause fear and confusion and to steer attention away from the idea that they could be a home-grown phenomenon.

Except not. That phrase is used in practically every single publicly released DARPA/ONR/AFRL request for proposals and statement about what they do. It is an unbelievably commonly used phrase.

Hell, here is the mission statement for DARPA which uses the phrase in the first sentence: https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/about-darpa
