In 2011, senior Department of Homeland Security officials Sacha Mover and Jim Bell attempted to establish a classified UAP program within DHS called Kona Blue. To do so, they needed access to what other government agencies already knew. When they knocked on the doors of two agencies rumored to hold non-human materials, they were told “no, and hell no.” They left convinced anyway.
According to insiders who spoke to Liberation Times and documented in the book Skinwalkers at the Pentagon, DHS staff who attended these June–July 2011 meetings emerged “convinced that advanced technology was sequestered under government supervision at aerospace contractors’ facilities.”
What Happened
Mover and Bell were the DHS officials tasked with standing up the Prospective Special Access Program on UAP within the department. To do so properly, they needed to understand what other agencies held. They approached two government entities believed to be “keepers of the secrets.”
The response was immediate and hostile: “Bell and Mover were repeatedly told ‘no, and hell no.’” They were treated, in the words of the account, “rudely and harshly.”
Despite being stonewalled, they came away with a conclusion: whatever those agencies held, it was real, it was significant, and it was not going to be shared with DHS.
Kona Blue’s Outcome
Kona Blue eventually became public knowledge when the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office confirmed its existence. AARO stated that Kona Blue never advanced beyond the proposal stage and was terminated without ever receiving access to non-human materials — because AARO concluded no such materials exist in government custody.
The insiders’ account tells a different story: the program was blocked not because there was nothing to access, but because those who held the information refused to share it with DHS.
The Oracle Assessment
Kona Blue is significant not for what it achieved, but for what it reveals about the architecture of UAP secrecy. Senior officials at a major cabinet-level agency — DHS, with its own intelligence apparatus — could not get access. They were stonewalled by agencies within their own government. And they left those meetings believing the technology exists.
If DHS couldn’t get in the door, the question isn’t whether AARO has found evidence. The question is whether AARO was ever given access to the room where the evidence is kept.
