PURSUE is the Department of War’s 2026 initiative for locating, reviewing, and publicly releasing federal records concerning UAP encounters.
The Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, or PURSUE, is a federal records-release initiative administered by the Department of War. Announced in 2026, it was presented as a government-wide effort to find, review, declassify where possible, and publish historical and recent material concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena. The portal presents the releases as an expanding series rather than a one-time archival dump.
PURSUE releases are organized through the WAR.GOV/UFO portal. The collections include historical memoranda, case records, imagery, digital witness renderings, and videos supplied by multiple agencies. Each release carries agency and date metadata, allowing individual files to be examined as records rather than as a single narrative. That structure makes the program directly relevant to UFO records and FOIA and transparency, although PURSUE is an executive release process rather than a conventional FOIA response.
Publication does not mean that the government endorses every description or interpretation inside a file. Some records preserve witness statements, preliminary labels, or unresolved assessments; others contain later analytic updates. A digital rendering of a reported triangle, for example, documents what a witness described, not an independently photographed craft. The portal’s value lies in provenance, metadata, and public access to the underlying record.
PURSUE is significant because it centralizes material that was previously scattered across agency repositories or unavailable to the public. Its measure of success is not the volume of sensational files but the completeness of agency searches, clarity of redactions, preservation of context, and release of usable originals. Those questions connect the initiative to broader UAP disclosure while keeping declassification separate from confirmation of extraordinary claims.

It's an update to an [article](https://unapologetic.substack.com/p/scientists-claim-lockheed-martin) I wrote in January 2025 about the attempted transfer of UFO tech from Lockheed Martin to AAWSAP. Many have covered the story because the recent revelations from Stratton. There has been some great original reporting from Ben Schreckinger. Unfortunately what has been missing from a lot of cove...
With Stephen Miller replacing Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff, we urge him to put UFO whistleblower David Grusch in charge of President Trump’s PURSUE program and bring transparency to the UFO/UAP issue. There is no better man for the job. #UAP #Transparency @StephenM @realDonaldTrump
Two officially released AAWSAP reports vs. "AAWSAP reports" that appeared in the PURSUE 7 release. See the difference? It is clear to me there is a stark difference (classification markings, formatting, contract number references etc) between the two. Why is this important? It shows a clear difference between what AAWSAP was officially (with the exception of 1, no DIRD talks about UFOs) and what it was for BAASS... then later framed erroneously by those spreading stories and outlandish UNPROV...

The fourth PURSUE release includes a 2020 U.S. Navy report on a jellyfish-shaped object over the Atlantic Ocean. Military personnel described it as dark maroon and roughly 12 to 15 feet tall. Investigators say it may have been a deformed balloon. That is framed as a possibility, not a matched launch record or recovered debris. PURSUE has been releasing files in batches since May 8, 2026, and many arrive with little context. What would you need to see, a launch log, debris, or a second sensor,...
