The account
Advocates linked to the earlier AAWSAP effort pitched Kona Blue to DHS, convinced that the government was hiding UAP technology. DHS leaders rejected it as 'without merit'. AARO released the proposal documents in 2024.
The sceptical view
The proposal shows that some officials believed in recovered craft, not that any existed. AARO said it found nothing to support the belief.
