PURSUE Release 01 was a May 2026 government UFO records drop combining official videos, PDFs, images, and case material.
PURSUE Release 01 was the first major 2026 public UFO records release under the federal PURSUE framework. The release placed videos, PDFs, images, and case-related records into the Department of War public UFO portal. It became a major UAP-disclosure event because it gave the public a large, official corpus to inspect rather than a single curated clip or press statement.
The release's importance is partly practical. UAP records are hard to evaluate when they are scattered across agencies, file formats, and social-media retellings. A portal-based release creates a shared reference point: researchers can identify records, compare file numbers, look for dates and originating agencies, and separate official artifacts from commentary. That is why Release 01 quickly generated mirrors, playlists, parsers, and independent indexes.
The public discussion focused heavily on videos and visually striking records, but the broader release included ordinary archival material, historical documents, and records that require cautious reading. Some files are unresolved case material; others are historical or contextual records that do not necessarily describe anomalous craft. A government file drop can contain important primary sources without every item being evidence of extraordinary technology. That distinction is central to reading the PURSUE Files responsibly.
The release also changed the incentives around UAP analysis. Before the drop, many claims depended on leaked videos, secondhand descriptions, or congressional hints. After it, the public had a larger official dataset, but still faced missing metadata, redactions, uneven scan quality, and incomplete provenance. That combination made Release 01 both a disclosure gain and a data-quality challenge. The event's value depends on whether records are mapped, transcribed, linked to originating agencies, and checked against later releases such as UFO Files PURSUE Release 02.
The release is an official publication event. The claims drawn from it vary file by file. A video labeled unresolved deserves different treatment from a scanned historical clipping, and a witness statement deserves different treatment from sensor footage. The public assessment should stay on the records themselves and the quality of their supporting metadata.
Independent mirrors and indexes also became part of the story. They can make a large portal easier to search, preserve filenames, and surface patterns across records, but they are secondary aids rather than sources of authority. The official release remains the anchor. A responsible reading uses independent tools to navigate the corpus, then returns to the released file, caption, date, and agency context before drawing conclusions about any specific item.
Probed read: The strongest part is provenance and scale: Release 01 created a public official corpus. The weakest part is interpretive: a large file drop can invite overclaiming when records lack metadata or are treated as proof simply because they were released by government.
What would move the assessment: The release becomes more valuable as records receive full metadata, OCR, chain-of-custody notes, agency explanations, and cross-links to later tranches. It would lose evidentiary weight if key videos or documents lack enough source context to support the claims built around them.
THE SHAPE: The FBI Has Been Collecting Triangle Reports Since 2002. PURSUE Release Five Published Them.
Sixteen videos. Six angles of one event. And a stack of witness statements describing the same silent craft for twenty-four years.
🚨 BREAKING: FIFTH TRANCHE OF U.S. GOVERNMENT UFO FILES RELEASED The Department of War has officially released PURSUE Release 05, the fifth tranche of declassified and historical UAP material released under the government’s ongoing disclosure initiative. This latest drop includes hundreds of megabytes of documents and video, with material involving dark triangular objects, military sensor footage and unresolved encounters spanning multiple years and locations. One case already jumping out inv...
This is one of several triangle-related image files the FBI contributed to Release 05 (others include a “Dark Triangle with Lights” from 2011 and a “Large Triangle with Red Lights” from 2023 in Colorado Springs). It’s listed as an unresolved case — consistent with the rest of the PURSUE material, meaning the government has not made a definitive determination on what was observed.

War.gov dropped PURSUE Release 04 today. We’ve finished downloading, indexing and processing the full tranche on Probed. Disclosure: I run Probed. The original files remain linked throughout, and the goal here is to make the release searchable and easier to evaluate—not to replace the primary sources. Release 04 contains: 14 documents 19 videos 4 NASA audio debriefings 3 NASA STS-80 images 40 records total 558 searchable document pages More than 5,500 caption segments from the NASA audio A fe...
On July 10, 2026, the Department of War published the fourth PURSUE release. This is every video from that release in one cut: 19 military sensor videos and four NASA audio recordings. Total runtime 4:16:39. Release 4 brings the footage closer to home. Alongside the continuing overseas naval infrared clips from the Yellow Sea, the South and East China Seas, and the Middle East, this batch includes six "Range Fouler" incidents over the eastern United States. Range Fouler is the U.S. Navy's own...
FBI FD-302 interviews (the same format used in federal criminal investigations) conducted at a US test site in September 2023. The primary witness had 15 years experience at the facility and had "seen most of the aircraft and drones used by the US military." She was initially annoyed thinking someone had violated her restricted airspace - then realized it wasn't an aircraft or drone. Object: cigar-shaped, "metallic bronze in color," length of 2-3 Blackhawk helicopters lined up nose to tail, c...
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just dropped this at today’s (June 25, 2026) Disclosure Forum: “There are UAP whistleblowers who know locations of UFO Craft & Alien Biologics. We have talked directly to the White House. We are going to get them immunity and protection so they can come forward.” Lawmakers gave the White House a specific list. She called Stephen Miller “excellent on this topic.” This lands only 13 days after the Pentagon’s June 12 PURSUE Release 03 (the “mother orb launching smaller red...
Hey /r/UFOB! I saw earlier today that Avi Loeb posted a poll encouraging everyone to share there thoughts on the Pentagon releases so far. According to the website it says, "Your responses will directly inform peer-reviewed research and policy recommendations regarding future government transparency on this topic." I think we as a community should check this out and make our voices heard!
In November 2021, at approximately 5:00 AM local time in a sparsely populated area of the northeastern United States, a witness observed a bright light source near the horizon (estimated distance around 2,000 feet). The light initially appeared as one intense luminous object, then resolved into multiple lights/orbs arranged in a triangle-like formation. These orbs showed erratic rotational motion relative to one another. The entire formation moved slowly from left to right. The witness record...
