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.

## 3. (U) What are the anticipated results and value of this research? (TS//KB//NF) This research is pivotal to identifying the source and substance of associated material and assessments of a previous investigatory USG programs and to identify and define the impact of the unique science and technology applications on homeland security. The exploratory research provides opportunity to increase our basic knowledge of a science or phenomenology. This effort provides the potential to influence technological solutions and strategies to sustain the elements of national power and homeland security. (TS//KB//NF) Success of this research is predicated on the scientific investigation and assessments of available material; continuity of effort can generate 'actionable' follow-on research contributing to continuing discovery, research investments, possible countermeasure technology and USG policy development. ## 4. (U) What is innovative about this work? (TS//KB//NF) This knowledge-based research addresses the analytical assumptions and uncertainties of emerging and disruptive technologies or material that could potentially threaten vital and major U.S. interests such as the security of land, air and sea borders; and citizens; or critical infrastructure or economic resources. The potential also exists that outcomes and follow-on research and evaluation efforts will provide the U.S. with a unique ability to increase any of the elements (political, economic, military, and moral psycho-social (social cohesion)) of national power, as well as enhancing national security and developing resilience to disruptive technology potential.
