Look at some of the names of these programs. I've also spent some time cross referencing the program title's on google with some interesting results.

Check out the first program below that caught my attention in the document.

192 0303610K Teleport Program TELEPORTATION ?!?! <- Epic

Programs : Lasers, Military HIV research, Human, social and behavior modeling, Joint Robotics Program Autonomous Systems, Synthetic Aperture Radar Coherent Change protection

tip of the iceberg its 90 pages but its riveting.

(PROTIP): Just search the program name on google and you get other govt websites giving details on each program if you're lucky. Its 90 pages and would like for DU folks to post any cool stuff they find cross referencing these Programs on google.

Here is one -> Polar MILSATCOM (Space) http://www.dtic.mil/descriptivesum/Y2006/AirForce/0603432F.pdf

This is just the tip of iceberg <- who wants to help me tear these 90 pages up ?

1. The secret black budget emblems tell a story too

The Book:

I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have to be Destroyed by Me: Emblems from the Pentagon's Black World


Review
"A fascinating set of shoulder patches designed for the Pentagon's Black Ops programs."
—Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report

“A glimpse of dark world through a revealing lens—patches—the kind worn on military uniforms.... The book offers not only clues into the nature of the secret programs, but also a glimpse of zealous male bonding among the presumed elite of the military-industrial complex. The patches often feel like fraternity pranks gone ballistic.”
—William Broad, The New York Times

“Gives readers a peek into the shadows ... Department of Defense spokesman Bob Mehal told Newsweek that it ‘would not be prudent to comment on what patches did or did not represent classified units.’ That’s OK. Some mysteries are more fun when they stay unsolved.”
—Karen Pinchin, Newsweek

"An art book that presents peculiar shoulder patches created for the weird and top secret programs funded by the Pentagon's black budget... an achievement."
—Timothy Buckwalter, The San Francisco Chonicle

"I was fascinated... has assembled about 40 colorful patch insignia from secret, military 'black' programs that are hardly ever discussed in public. He has plenty of regalia from the real denizens of Area 51."
—Alex Beam, The Boston Globe

"An impressive collection."
—Justin Rood, ABC News

"The iconography of the United States military. Not the mainstream military, with its bars and ribbons and medals, but the secret or 'black projects' world, which may or may not involve contacting aliens, building undetectable spy aircraft, and experimenting with explosives that could make atomic bombs look like firecrackers. Here, mysterious characters and cryptic symbols hint at intrigue much deeper than rank, company, and unit."
—UTNE Reader

"Of course, issuing patches for a covert operation sounds like a joke...but truth be told, these days everything is branded. Military symbols are frequently replete with heraldic imagery—some rooted in history, others based on contemporary popular arts that feature comic characters—but these enigmatic dark-op images, in some cases probably designed by the participants themselves, are more personal, and also more disturbing, than most."
—Steven Heller, The New York Times Book Review
