WASHINGTON DC – The Department of Defense just declassified a new UFO report about Kona Blue, a proposed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program that would have given congressional oversight to alleged secret UFO recovery and reverse engineering programs. The proposal was ultimately denied, but reading it provides an intriguing look at the secret UAP knowledge that many believed the U.S. government had. The report references areas of high anomalous activity, UFO injuries, dematerialization and remote viewing.

The beliefs of the Kona Blue proponents mirror some of the allegations of UFO whistleblower David Grusch. Grusch came forward with information from more than 40 firsthand witnesses alleging the U.S. does indeed have a secret UAP reverse engineering and retrieval program. The Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) found his claims credible and urgent. And when the ICIG later presented information about these claims to some members of Congress in a classified setting, Rep. Jared Moskowitz tweeted: “Based on what we heard many of Grusch claims have merit!”

Although the AARO Historical Report attempted to debunk the idea of a secret UAP program, many experts still have questions about the legitimacy and breadth of the report. For example, although former AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick said there were no firsthand witnesses, Christopher Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, said he was shocked by that claim, noting that he himself had brought some firsthand witnesses to AARO. And Sen. Marco Rubio has also stated that he’s spoken to firsthand witnesses himself.
