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 28 infrared video clips, 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.
