Kona Blue

Kona Blue was, according to former intelligence officer David Grusch and the analyst UAP Gerb, a prospective special access program (PSAP) proposed within the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) around 2011 — intended to operate as a waived unacknowledged special access program (USAP) and to serve as the receiving vessel for recovered technologies of unknown origin (TUO) that Lockheed Martin sought to divest. Within the UFO legacy program — the alleged classified enterprise for recovering, storing, and reverse-engineering material of non-human origin — Kona Blue is described as the only known documented attempt to create a legitimate special-access structure to house alleged recovered material, in contrast to other alleged programs such as the Immaculate Constellation effort said to have actually operated. In the assessment of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), however, it was a program that was formally proposed but never approved or established, and no verified evidence supports the belief that it would have housed recovered extraterrestrial material.

According to Grusch and UAP Gerb, Kona Blue grew out of a 2008–2011 effort by Lockheed Martin vice-president James Ryder to transfer recovered non-human materials — reportedly including 1950s craft hull structures — to Bigelow Aerospace's Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) under the DIA-sponsored AAWSAP programme. The program was created as a waived special access program under DHS to receive and hold the material, but was reportedly blocked by the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology before it could be stood up — Grusch maintaining that he had sought access to the long-held Lockheed material and was refused.

AARO's 2024 historical-record report addresses Kona Blue directly, characterising it as a prospective special access program that departmental leadership declined to authorise; the office concluded that the belief it would have housed recovered extraterrestrial material reflected the same unverified assumptions found elsewhere in the UAP historical record rather than evidence that such material exists. On a counter-disclosure reading, that official account is itself treated as the expected cover-story: a structure built to quarantine recovered material would, once exposed, be quietly disowned as "never approved", and AARO — regarded within the disclosure movement as a containment and discrediting body rather than a neutral investigator — is seen as performing precisely the dismissal its remit requires.[citation needed]
