Summary
Kona Blue — proposed AARO declassification program. AARO declassified Kona Blue but admitted IC CAP expanded 2021 for UAP reverse engineering. AARO Volume 2 delayed 2+ years — can't reconcile 'transparency' with classified CAP. AARO caught in contradiction. AARO declassified Kona Blue (Feb 2024). Lacatski created Kona Blue. 'Investigate, identify, analyze sensitive materials and technologies, to include advanced aerospace vehicles.' Killed after 6 months.
Intelligence Analysis
Kona Blue (AARO)
Purpose: Kona Blue — proposed AARO declassification program Category: Policy & Disclosure This node documents Kona Blue (AARO), a policy or disclosure milestone. It connects to 7 entities, tracing the political and institutional dimensions of UAP transparency efforts.
Key Relationships
- → AARO Vol 2 Delay (assessment): AARO declassified Kona Blue but admitted IC CAP expanded 2021 for UAP reverse engineering. AARO Volume 2 delayed 2+ years — can't reconcile 'transparency' with classified CAP. AARO caught in contradiction.
- → Lacatski (Kona Blue) (assessment): AARO declassified Kona Blue (Feb 2024). Lacatski created Kona Blue. 'Investigate, identify, analyze sensitive materials and technologies, to include advanced aerospace vehicles.' Killed after 6 months.
- → LMT 2025 10-K (3 Programs) (assessment): AARO: 'one IC CAP unnecessarily expanded in 2021 to include UAP reverse-engineering mission.' 2021 = Building 648 opened. Kona Blue killed because Lockheed's existing program didn't want oversight.
- → Eric Davis (assessment): Kona Blue advocates 'convinced USG was hiding UAP technologies.' Davis's Lockheed SCIF revelation confirms they were right. Kona Blue killed to protect Lockheed's existing crash retrieval program.
- → Mellon (Disclosure Fdn) (assessment): Mellon: AARO 'omitted entire agencies.' Kona Blue declassification reveals AARO knew about IC CAP expanded for reverse engineering. Mellon's criticism confirmed by AARO's own documents.
- ← Reid ($22M AAWSAP) (assessment): Reid + Lieberman requested PSAP for Kona Blue. AARO declassified it (Feb 2024). Reid's SAP requests were blocked by 'opposition' = existing programs didn't want oversight.
Plus 1 additional connections.
