The US government’s accelerated declassification programme for unresolved UAP records. Framed as a presidential directive to find, review, declassify and publicly release the government’s UAP holdings on a rolling timeline. Coordinated by the Department of War and published at war.gov/ufo, with records drawn from the White House, ODNI, the Department of Energy, AARO, NASA and the FBI.
Releases
- Release 01, published 8 May 2026. Around 160 documents, photographs and 27 short video clips, most of them infrared, dated 1940s to 2020s. The largest and most coherent block is the USCENTCOM aircrew mission reports.
- Release 02, published 22 May 2026. 51 video clips, PR050 to PR099, located after eight members of Congress requested access on 6 March 2026. Carries a chain-of-custody caveat: many files lack a substantiated provenance and uploader-assigned titles are not verified.
Significance
The first time the routine paperwork of how the US government logs UAP encounters has been published openly through a traceable .gov channel. PURSUE documents are the primary source base for the Document Briefings series.
