By UFO Disclosure Files Editorial Desk Published 2026-05-08 Updated 2026-05-12 Department of War Official record

The USPER statement is one of the most attention-grabbing Release 01 records because it describes repeated orb/light observations during a redacted search operation.

Verified key facts

The PDF is three pages and remains heavily redacted.
The statement describes a 2025 event involving helicopter search activity.
It references FLIR, night vision goggles, naked-eye observations, and reports of orbs/lights.
The account includes reports of multiple lights and swarm-like movement, but many locations and identities are redacted.

What this shows

The record documents reported observations by named categories of witnesses and operators, plus a timeline of search activity and follow-up reports.

Why this page matters

This archive page turns a source item into a reader-friendly research record: source, agency, release context, evidence label, limits, and related questions stay visible together. That is the difference between a searchable disclosure file and a screenshot passed around without context.

What it does not prove

Because the document is redacted and lacks public sensor data, it does not prove the identity, origin, or physical nature of the reported objects.

Open questions

What corroborating video, sensor logs, aircraft records, or follow-up analysis exist behind the redactions?
