Kona Blue (DHS PSAP, AARO Declassified) — 'Investigate, Identify, Analyze Sensitive Materials' — Killed After 6 Months

ASSESSMENT General ASSESSMENT // KONA BLUE AARO DECLASSIFICATION Also: Kona Blue, Kona Blue declassified, DHS PSAP Kona Blue, AARO Kona Blue, IC CAP 2021 expansion, Tara O'Toole Kona Blue

01 Executive_Summary

ASSESSMENT: Kona Blue was a Prospective Special Access Program (PSAP) at DHS, declassified by AARO (February 2024). PURPOSE: 'Continue the work previously undertaken by DIA's AAWSAP/AATIP to investigate, identify, and analyze sensitive materials and technologies, to include advanced aerospace vehicles.' Kona Blue's advocates 'were convinced that the USG was hiding UAP technologies' and 'believed that creating this program under DHS would allow all of the technology and knowledge of these alleged programs to be moved under the KONA BLUE program' with 'congressional oversight.' TIMELINE: 2011 — DHS Under Secretary S&T (Tara O'Toole) established Kona Blue as PSAP based on 'claims that relevant information and material existed,' congressional interest, homeland security impacts. 6 months later — Deputy Secretary DHS disapproved as SAP, directed immediate termination: 'inadequate justification, insufficient supporting information (personnel, budget).' Senators Reid, Inouye, Stevens, Lieberman involved. AARO: 'No data or material transferred to or collected by DHS under Kona Blue.' 'No extraterrestrial craft or bodies were ever collected — only assumed to exist by advocates.' CRITICAL AARO ADMISSION: 'AARO confirmed the existence of one IC CAP that was unnecessarily expanded in 2021 to include a UAP reverse-engineering mission.' 2021 CAP expansion = same year Building 648 opened (SCIF/SAP/SAR). Likely SAME event. DIA 2009 SAP REJECTION: DIA rejected Reid's SAP request for AAWSAP — 'cannot find adequate justification,' 'insufficient grounds to classify.' REAL classified material was in Lockheed's program, which AAWSAP was trying to access. Kona Blue killed because existing programs (Lockheed crash retrieval since ~2004) didn't want new SAP with congressional oversight.
