This All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office release makes public Department of Homeland Security records on KONA BLUE, a DHS prospective special access program that was ended on February 10, 2012. DHS declassified the records on July 18, 2023. The briefing slides and program proposal describe an Advanced Technology Threat program. It would collect reports on advanced aerospace vehicles, inventory recovered technology, gather oral histories and fund consciousness studies. The release also contains Senator Harry Reid's 2009 letter asking for a restricted SAP for AATIP and a 2010 DIA memo on the program.

## UNCLASSIFIED TOP SECRET//KONA BLUE//NOFORN HANDLE VIA SPECIAL ACCESS CHANNELS ONLY (1) Where relevant, updated (re)examination of materials with the best of forensic technologies now available will be pursued, either in-house or at appropriate facilities under appropriate security. (2) Based on identification of possible advanced technological processes being exploited, experts with the relevant expertise will be engaged to provide useful evaluative input, either indirectly on the basis of being asked to generate position or research papers on the forefront aspects of the (apparent) identified technology (including bestguess extrapolation to potential future developments), or directly by exposure to, and examination of, the materials or technological processes involved. Either could involve re-engagement of entities previously involved in earlier programs to assess such materials and technologies. (3) Where deemed potentially of merit, in-house or outsourced laboratory experimentation will be initiated to explore as-yet-unidentified characteristics and functions of AAV materials and devices in the inventory, and results reported. (4) Supplemental to (3) above, additional experimentation will be undertaken, in-house or outsourced, to test various hypotheses that emerge from examination of AAV materials and documents, medical studies of injuries, and AAV sighting reports, and results reported. (5) Enhance investigations to pursue attempts by foreign countries (particularly China/Russia) in developing advanced technology breakthroughs from recovered technology items. Develop threat assessment based on this information. In support of the above activities, a well-structured Oral History Initiative will be undertaken both to compile a dense database of information acquired to date, and to assist in identifying additional sources for information acquisition, whether it be the identity of individuals, contractors or government units and activities, foreign as well as domestic. Over past decades a number of high-level individuals in the military, intelligence, and even
