The secretive program seemingly never got off the ground. Image Credit: Northrop Grumman A few days ago we reported that the Pentagon had released a new report essentially debunking all notion that the US government had ever been in possession of recovered extraterrestrial technology.

As it turns out, however, this wasn't the whole story - the report also mentions something called 'Kona Blue' - a proposed UFO reverse-engineering program that never got off the ground.

Details of this endeavor, which was reportedly presented to the Department of Homeland Security sometime in the 2010s, were uncovered by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).

The powers that be were seemingly unconvinced of the need for such a program, however, as department leaders reportedly rejected the project on the basis that it "lacked merit"."It is critical to note that no extraterrestrial craft or bodies were ever collected - this material was only assumed to exist by Kona Blue advocates and its anticipated contract performers," the report reads.

According to Tim Phillips, AARO's acting director, details of this proposed project were not previously disclosed to Congress because it was never considered to be a "special access program".

It only became declassified to coincide with the release of the Pentagon report.

So while this doesn't necessarily confirm or deny stories of UFO and alien cover-ups, it certainly suggests that at least someone in the upper echelons of government must have thought - for whatever reason - that there was a pressing need for a reverse-engineering program.
