Briefing
PURSUE Release 01 source map
The Release 01 source chain starts with war.gov/UFO, the May 8 announcement, and the individual PDFs linked from the official release path.
Editorial note
This briefing is written to help readers follow official records without treating incomplete releases as proof of claims the sources do not actually establish.
How to use this briefing
Start with the primary source, then read the summary, evidence label, and limitations. If a public figure or outlet makes a stronger claim than the record supports, that claim belongs in reaction coverage, not in the official-file summary.
