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 SECRET // HANDLE VIA SPECIAL ACCESS CHANNELS ONLY (U) Proposed S&T Directorate Statement of Objectives. ## (U) Project Purpose (S/IVSACO) DHS S&T will provide program management support for a Congressional interest item which will entail the scientific analysis of a body of sensitive information and observed anomalies to identify and anticipate potential threats and opportunities to the U.S. homeland. The S&T Special Projects office will provide program management for 12 months to allow the compilation, review, and assessment of associated unclassified and classified archived data and available literature, data bases, and physical materials from previous government and private entity efforts in order to assess possible research and development thrusts related to potential threats to national security and opportunities to enhance national security. Upon completion of the year one effort, a DHS research council, to be established, will review all findings and provide a recommendation as to whether continued DHS involvement supports the Department's and the S&T Directorate's focus and mission requirements. Until a recommendation regarding any efforts after the 12 month period, the performers will provide quarterly reports and briefings to the program office and DHS research council. ## (U) Project Plan (S/AIVSACO) Data to be reviewed and assessed that is associated with the proposed program is available from the previous government managed effort. Material has also been acquired through various sources since the DIA program ended in December 2010. For example, ongoing observations and recording of anomalies observed at sites at the Bigelow Ranch in Utah, the San Juan Valley in Colorado, and Marley's Woods in Missouri. Additional relevant classified material is believed to exist within other governmental special access programs and will be accessed for this effort. Much of this material has been collated into an active and searchable data base maintained by the former National Institute of Discovery Science, a data compilation and analysis function of the former government program. (S//IVSACO) The Special Projects Office will provide program management through a government Program Manager (PM) and Technical Manager (TM) who will ensure oversight of unclassified and classified data collection and analysis centers, to be located in Las Vegas, Nevada; and classified data analysis centers to be located in Austin, TX and in the National Capital Region; locations at which classified work is necessary will have access to a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF).
