PURSUE Release 01: May 8, 2026 UFO files
PURSUE Release 01 is the first official Department of War tranche in the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters. It centralizes unresolved UAP records, photos, videos, and source documents at war.gov/UFO.
What this shows
The Department of War has opened a dedicated public release channel for unresolved UAP records and says additional tranches will be posted every few weeks.
What it does not prove
The release does not prove extraterrestrial origin, alien technology, or a final explanation for any individual record.
Open questions
Which records are newly declassified, which are historical/re-released, and which have enough metadata for independent analysis?
