Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters
The Pentagon's rolling UAP file release
On May 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of War launched PURSUE, a public archive of declassified records on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. The first tranche, Release 01, contains 296 files drawn from across the federal government: investigative file segments from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, mission reports and imagery from the Department of War, transcripts from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and diplomatic cables from the Department of State. Some records date to the late 1940s; others were generated as recently as 2024.
In the directive accompanying the launch, the Department wrote that the materials are unresolved cases, meaning the government cannot make a definitive determination about what was observed, and that it welcomes the application of private-sector analysis. Govweird is one such surface for that work. Every file in Release 01 is reproduced below with its government-issued description; readers can browse by originating agency, by record type (PDF, video, image), or in the alphabetical index that follows. Editorial writeups will appear on individual file pages over the coming weeks.
