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 - In addition, biosensors, especially human observation and detection in all perception formats, constitute a key ingredient of the overall observational menu of activity and are therefore to be integrated. - Multiple biological samples will be collected from these locations and subjected to genetic, biochemical, toxicology, material science, and other analyses. - Finally, a program of evaluation based on the best of modern assessment tools and personnel is to be applied. - A dedicated management team will be set up to guide and oversee program actions: - Sensor components and instrumentation for site-monitoring activities will be completely calibrated, tested and characterized in advance of deployment, and personnel assigned to site-monitoring activities will be trained in their use. - Given past evidence of human psychophysiological observation/detection in all forms, what might be labeled integrative perception, such perception constitutes a major component of the detection and registration of anomalous as well as mundane signals -thus the use of human observers as 'biosensors' will be incorporated as a major component of the overall site-monitoring efforts; of some interest is whether individuals exposed to phenomena at site locations experience continuing effects as they relocate away from the sites under observation. - Where necessary, security guards will be deployed to monitor and protect observation sites. - Data analysis center staff will perform technical assessment and analysis of site information gathered. - In addition to in-house-generated site-monitoring and evaluation efforts, a program component will be established to harness the talents of specialists with useful expertise on an as-needed basis via both the use of in-house sabbaticals and outsourcing of subcontracts.
