Well-known UFO/UAP researcher Kevin Randle has posted some interesting thoughts on his blog about Sean Kirkpatrick’s recent public comments regarding a recently-enacted ‘Crash Retrieval Program’ linked to AARO, as well as the program known as ‘Immaculate Constellation’ :
“Kirkpatrick said, “AARO is Congressionally directed to come up with not just standard reporting procedures, but also mitigation and response procedures in the event of a shoot down or a collection of any sort of UAP.””
In his blog post, Randle suggests that, by presenting such as operations as something new, Kirkpatrick’s statement may actually be yet another attempt to provide cover for operations of exactly the same type that have existed for many decades – prior to any linked to AARO, including those reported for decades-old under the code name ‘Moon Dust’.
“… you have to wonder if this new program doesn’t have a secondary purpose and that is to disguise what had been learned under Moon Dust and that follow-on project. You don’t look for another program if you have been told that this is something that began in 2023."
Randle’s blog has several articles about his research on ‘Moon Dust’. Links to many are provided in this recent blog post, found here:
One of Randle's previous posts on this topic states:
“The best information I have is that Moon Dust began in October 1957 after the Soviet launch of Sputnik. The purpose was to recover returning space debris of foreign manufacture and unknown origin. That unknown origin was off-world craft. How do I know… I found Moon Dust reports in the Blue Book files and there have been several Moon Dust responses launched to investigate UFO sightings that involved some sort of debris recovery.
Oh, I should note that Moon Dust continued until the mid-1980s when the name was compromised inadvertently by the State Department. At that point the name was changed and FOIA requests were met with the statement that the new name was properly classified, which made learning more about Moon Dust nearly impossible.
This brief background is to note that many Moon Dust documents are now available on line. I have published some in various books, as has other researchers. I updated my book on Moon Dust, which provides a more comprehensive look at the material.”
“Before we leave this discussion, I should point out that the first link above suggests there was no Project Moon Dust but that Moon Dust was the code name for attempts to recover returning space debris. In other words, when there was some sort of UFO incident, and investigation would be conducted, an officer at the nearest base would be assigned as the project officer and reports would be written using the code word Moon Dust. However, there was no on-going project. It was activated as needed. When the code words Moon Dust were compromised, they were changed to something else.”

There’s also a good basic overview of ‘Moon Dust’ operations in this video by UAP Gerb:

It's also important to note, the alleged scope of 'Immaculate Constellation' extends well beyond the retrieval of 'exotic materials'. It is also claimed to be centrally involved in the secret and broad collection/control of UAP-related materials within the DoD/IC and its contractors, as well an effort to hide such data/materials from anyone not read into 'The Program'.
EDIT: This video on It's [redacted]. also covers similar territory.
