The government has released 375 files from eight agencies: DoD, FBI, CIA, DOE, ODNI, State, NASA, and the Executive Office of the President. We read them, 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 fifth PURSUE release adds 41 files and reaches further back than any before it: the 245-page Project Sign file in which the Air Materiel Command studies 180 incidents, builds the first official morphology, concludes the objects are “not of domestic origin,” and then advises telling the press nothing; a 1953 Navy analysis computing 965 g from two films the Robertson Panel had dismissed four months earlier; the CIA formally ruling out its own OXCART aircraft for a 1964 radar case; and four 2026 FBI interviews that turn the western U.S. case into a multi-year one.
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.
Every piece of declassified footage the PURSUE program has released, across all five tranches. This is the only declassified footage of the February 2023 North American shootdown. The object was never publicly identified.
Forty-one new files bring the release to 375. Tranche 5 pushes the documented record earlier than any tranche so far: a 1946–47 War Department review of nearly a thousand Scandinavian “ghost rocket” reports, and the 245-page Air Materiel Command file in which the Air Force studies 180 incidents, concludes it cannot explain a residue of them, states the objects are not of domestic origin, and decides in the same compilation that it is “not considered advisable to present to the press information on those objects which we cannot yet identify.” It also adds the 1953 Navy photogrammetric analysis that computed accelerations of 965 g from two films the Robertson Panel had dismissed four months earlier, and turns the triangle from the thinnest form in the record into one of its best-evidenced.
Everything pre-analyzed, layered by depth. Browse 33 signal-rated incidents, watch 133 declassified videos, explore 8 anomaly patterns, and search the 35 highest-priority documents of the 241-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 375 files from eight agencies. Observers classified from each other for years. They agree on the details.
Every UAP video from all five 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 26 records, the witness narratives, the 2026 continuation, 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 35. 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 375 files. You can read them in any order, but this is how they connect.
33 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), 72 in the third (June 12, 2026), 40 in the fourth (July 10, 2026), and 41 in the fifth (August 7, 2026), for 375 total. All five tranches are catalogued and analysed here.
