We read 330 officially released files from seven agencies: DoD, FBI, CIA, DOE, ODNI, State, and NASA. We cross-referenced them, stress-tested them, and ran them through five independent analyses. Here is what they say, without the interpretation layer.
No account needed · No paywall · All primary sources linked · New here? The five-minute version →The fourth PURSUE release adds 36 files that reach from the origin of the phenomenon to its present: the verbatim 1949 Los Alamos green-fireball conference with Teller, Bradbury, Reines and LaPaz in the room, the full 2015 Pantex nuclear-plant incident report, three Navy Range Fouler encounters off the U.S. East Coast, and NASA’s STS-80 shuttle photographs.
Six federal law enforcement agents in three independent teams document a stationary, silent object 12–18 meters across launching smaller objects. A senior intelligence officer's written account describes a helicopter crew breaking off pursuit because they could not match the object's speed; fighter jets were scrambled. A TOP SECRET Sandia Laboratories file has Edward Teller's name six times, in connection with UAP near nuclear facilities. A declassified Tranche 2 video, labeled by the submitting command as a Syrian UAP in “instantaneous acceleration,” shows an object accelerating out of sensor frame.
These are in the primary record. Not secondhand. Not testimony about testimony. The documents do not explain what caused them. Neither does this site. That gap is the honest answer, and it is worth taking seriously.
The PURSUE program has released 103 videos and 11 audio recordings across four tranches. This is the only declassified footage of the February 2023 North American shootdown. The object was never publicly identified.
Seventy-two new files in the third PURSUE tranche: 53 documents, 6 videos, 10 images, and 3 audio recordings. The release deepens the flagship “orbs launching orbs” case with AARO's own analysis (which leaves roughly 40 percent of the reported phenomena unresolved) and with five first-person narratives from the federal agents who witnessed it. It also adds a large historical corpus: the 1953 CIA Robertson Panel, Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14, the CIA's U-2 and OXCART reconnaissance history, NASA's Gemini astronaut debriefings, and Cold War sighting reports from inside the USSR.
Everything pre-analyzed, layered by depth. Browse 30 signal-rated incidents, watch 103 declassified videos, explore 8 anomaly patterns, and search the 36 highest-priority documents of the 216-document corpus.
Browse by Signal Strength, Behavior Pattern, or Document Priority. Expand any entry for the full journalism layer: primary source quote, skeptic case, DVIDS video, cross-references. This is the only interactive tool of its kind built from the public record.
Cold infrared signatures. SWIR-only detection. 90-degree kinematic turns. Nuclear surveillance. Parent objects deploying sub-objects. Instantaneous disappearance. Documented across 330 files from seven agencies. Observers classified from each other for years. They agree on the details.
Every UAP video from all four PURSUE tranches: AARO descriptions, sensor metadata, embedded playback. The F-16C Lake Huron shootdown. The Syrian clip the submitting command titled ‘instantaneous acceleration.’ Three and a half hours of footage that was classified until now.
Military sensor stills, FBI file photographs, and NASA Apollo frames with anomalous objects noted by analysts. Browsable with lightbox. Every image sourced from the PURSUE corpus or the public domain government record.
Five pages, each taking one angle of the evidence further than the Database can on its own.
Six federal agents, three independent teams, orange orbs launching red orbs near a sensitive site. The government's own analysis rules out exhaust, drones, adversaries, and weather, attributes sixty percent to flares, and leaves the rest open. All 18 documents, the witness narratives, and the skeptic's reading, on one page.
A senior U.S. intelligence official rides a military helicopter on a night search near a classified site and logs object after object: one passing within ten feet of the aircraft, another splitting in two, then a swarm too many to count. One first-person account, rebuilt into a scrolling cinematic timeline. The most immersive page on the site.
Interactive calculators for the G-forces, orbital velocities, and energy requirements implied by the documented maneuvers. See exactly how far outside every known limit these flight profiles fall, and what it would take for them to be real.
Every dated incident in the corpus plotted against US nuclear infrastructure. A visual test of whether UAP reports cluster around the atomic complex, and what the Cold War incidents reveal when filtered by era.
Seven priority documents explored in depth. A full sortable table of all 36. Priority scores calculated from redaction markers: national security citations, statutory exemptions, operational and infrastructure flags. The Arabian Gulf 2020 file scores 181. You can see why.
The dominant form in the government's own files changes era to era. It is the clearest non-speculative pattern in the whole release. Beneath it runs one constant: the luminous orb, attested in every era of the corpus.
Trace it shape by shape on Morphology, or cross-cut shape against site and era in The Atlas.
The most important page on the site for understanding why UAP evidence looks the way it does. Three acts. Built entirely from primary sources and documented institutional history.
The investigation follows five analytical tracks through 330 files. You can read them in any order, but this is how they connect.
30 signal-rated incidents with skeptical cases alongside each one.
Accelerations, turn forces, and energy requirements run against every known limit.
Eight behaviors documented across observers who were classified from each other for years.
Every incident plotted against US nuclear infrastructure. A visual test of structure.
The Bennewitz blueprint, documented disinformation as institutional doctrine.
The complete analytical arc, told as a guided narrative you can read in one sitting.
"Records" here means the document and media files published by the Department of War at war.gov/ufo: 158 in the first PURSUE tranche (May 8, 2026), 64 in the second (May 22, 2026), and 72 in the third (June 12, 2026), for 330 total.
