About this format and its limits

This page indexes the records the Pentagon (Department of War) has released under its PURSUE program. Each PDF record links to its war.gov PDF address; the four audio and video records link to war.gov's release page, where they are listed.

We read war.gov's own release listing (the table data behind war.gov/UFO) and opened the cited war.gov PDFs ourselves. Counts are computed from that listing. Every excerpt is under 25 words. PDF excerpts were checked against the text of the PDF we downloaded (scans can add stray spaces, so matching ignores spacing and punctuation); the excerpts in C11 come from war.gov's transcript of the recording.

We opened 53 of the 57 records we selected as evidence (all 53 PDFs, HTTP 200). The other 4 are videos or audio, which we did not download; their titles and descriptions come from war.gov's listing. Extracted text comes from scans, so some words are garbled; we only quote clean passages.

The page separates five things: what documents say, what officials concluded, what witnesses reported, interpretation, and what is not shown. Nothing here claims where any object came from.

Counts from S2

Read the evidence by kind

What the documents say

What the released documents state, quoted or closely paraphrased.

  • C1 Official The public catalog lists 478 records across seven releases from May 8 to Oct 23, 2026: 298 PDFs, 134 videos, 30 images and 16 audio files. Counts here are computed from the catalog file.
  • C5 Official The AARO memo on the 2026 event records that no instrumented speed measurement was obtained and that a ground survey the next morning found no wreckage, ground scarring or vegetation damage.
  • C9 Official The 1947-48 Air Materiel Command/Project Sign file contains statements pointing different ways. One memo says the discs and "balls of light" are "not of domestic origin." Others say evidence for a space origin is "completely lacking" and there is "no conclusive proof" the objects are real aircraft.
  • C10 Official In July 1952 the Air Force intelligence chief, Gen. Samford, told a State Department official that flying saucers were "still a complete enigma" and that "credible observers are reporting the incredible."
  • C11 Documentary In March 1952 Capt. Ruppelt told an audience the Air Force had about 800 cases on file and "quite a few unknown radar returns," and that only about 2 percent were hoaxes or misperceptions by troubled people.
  • C13 Official On the 1952 Tremonton, Utah film, a Navy photo-interpretation memo analysed the film, and the Air Force's Project Blue Book examined whether pillow balloons could explain it. War.gov's description of the Blue Book file says later Air Force assessments favoured seabirds reflecting sunlight, while the film's limited detail prevented reliable estimates of distance, size or speed.
  • C16 Official A 2015 Pantex nuclear-weapons plant report says ground radar detected an unknown object that was treated as a possible drone and followed by security forces.
  • C17 Documentary The catalog lists 75 videos titled "Unresolved UAP Report" (71 Department of War, 4 Colorado law-enforcement) across Releases 1, 4, 5 and 6. Count is by script.
  • C18 Official AARO transcripts of Colorado law-enforcement videos say all descriptive language reflects the reporter's subjective interpretation at the time.
  • C19 Official A 1963 memo from the National Aeronautics and Space Council (Executive Office of the President) to the State Department, "Thoughts on the Space Alien Race Question," discusses what policy might apply if alien intelligence were found. It says the scientific consensus is that the possibility of meeting an alien intelligent race in our solar system is negligible.
  • C22 Official CIA information reports from the 1950s on foreign sightings are stamped as unevaluated information.

What officials concluded

Conclusions by named offices (AARO, Air Force, NASA study team, intelligence analysts) as written in the documents.

  • C2 Official An analysis by an AARO intelligence community partner of the Feb 2022 Cheyenne Mountain sighting says the object was possibly sunlight backscattered off snow and clouds, with low confidence, and that it was not an unknown adversarial capability.
  • C6 Official AARO says the Oct 2023 "orbs launching orbs" case near a western site was still unresolved as of June 2026. It notes the agents collected no video, photo or technical data, and rates military flares partly plausible and a foreign-adversary explanation highly unlikely.
  • C7 Official The memo gives its own figure: about 40 percent of the reported phenomena in that case lack a plausible explanation after first-stage analysis.
  • C12 Official Blue Book Special Report 14 (CIA-held copy) says there was no evidence that unexplained sightings were a physical threat to US security.
  • C23 Official AARO's 2024 historical report says it found no evidence that any investigation or review panel confirmed a sighting as extraterrestrial technology.
  • C24 Official AARO's FY2025 annual report says it resolved 114 of 319 new reports and that none of the resolved cases showed advanced foreign adversary capabilities.
  • C25 Expert NASA's independent study team wrote in 2023 that the peer-reviewed literature contains no conclusive evidence of an extraterrestrial origin for UAP.

Witness reports

What people say they saw or were told, as recorded by FBI, AARO, embassies or Congress. Estimates are by eye.

  • C3 Witness Five Army service members at Fort Carson reported a pale, still, shimmering object over Cheyenne Mountain on 15 Feb 2022. Two later FBI interviews describe it as motionless and silent; one adds panels that shifted and an object that vanished.
  • C4 Witness Federal agents told the FBI and AARO that on an evening in 2026 they saw a matte-black triangular object near a western US site. In their own signed words it was "most resembling a delta wing drone."
  • C8 Witness A senior US intelligence official wrote a first-hand narrative of a late-2025 helicopter mission on a test range, in which orange orbs were reported near the aircraft. The author took no photos. An FBI interview of a senior official describes the same mission.
  • C15 Witness A 1994 State Department cable relays a Tajik Air crew account of a very bright light that manoeuvred for about 40 minutes over Kazakhstan; the crew said they photographed it.
  • C26 Witness At a July 2023 House hearing, former intelligence officer David Grusch testified that he was informed of a multi-decade crash retrieval and reverse engineering program and was denied access to it.

Interpretation and speculation

Hypotheses and premises in the documents. These are not findings.

  • C14 Disputed In Nov 1963 a Brazilian radio report said a metal sphere with a body inside fell near Bahia. The US consul reported the story seemed "apparently fabricated" and nothing was seen; the object was tentatively called a weather balloon.
  • C20 Disputed Documents from a 2008-10 Defense Intelligence Agency contract (AAWSAP/BAASS) show a government-funded study of advanced aerospace threats. One contractor plan states, as a premise, that biological material of "potentially non-human origin" has been recovered.

Not shown

What the records do not establish.

  • No document we reviewed says who or what built or operated any reported object. (We opened the PDFs among our selected records and read the cited passages; we did not read every page of every file.) "Unresolved" in AARO language means no explanation could be supported.
  • No document we reviewed records verified physical material recovered from an unidentified object. The AMC file says no physical evidence had been obtained (1948); the 2026 survey found no wreckage.
  • Instrument data is rare: the 2026 triangle case has none for speed, and the "orbs launching orbs" case has no video or technical data.
  • War.gov's listing describes the videos but gives no released analysis explaining them. S2
  • 282 records are flagged redacted; what is blacked out is not known.
  • We did not watch or listen to the 134 video and 16 audio files; for them we rely on war.gov's listing and descriptions. S2

U.S. Navy Chief Warrant Officer Delbert C. Newhouse reported observing and filming a group of bright airborne objects and shortly thereafter submitted the footage to the U.S. Air Force. The film later became one of the visual cases reviewed by Project Blue Book, the 1952–1969 U.S. Air Force program that investigated the nature and origin of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The film’s limited detail and lack of fixed reference points prevented a conclusive resolution. From the 55-second mark onward, the film transitions to unrelated footage appearing to show a demonstration of sewing equipment.DVIDS video ID 1023402; paired document DOW-UAP-D098 | DOW-UAP-D102 | DOW-UAP-D103 | DOW-UAP-D104 | DOW-UAP-D105.

What is not known

  • No document we reviewed says who or what built or operated any reported object. (We opened the PDFs among our selected records and read the cited passages; we did not read every page of every file.) "Unresolved" in AARO language means no explanation could be supported.
  • No document we reviewed records verified physical material recovered from an unidentified object. The AMC file says no physical evidence had been obtained (1948); the 2026 survey found no wreckage.
  • Instrument data is rare: the 2026 triangle case has none for speed, and the "orbs launching orbs" case has no video or technical data.
  • War.gov's listing describes the videos but gives no released analysis explaining them. S2
  • 282 records are flagged redacted; what is blacked out is not known.
  • We did not watch or listen to the 134 video and 16 audio files; for them we rely on war.gov's listing and descriptions. S2

  • Final check: re-read every cited record; removed a press summary and keyword counts that did not rest on war.gov's records, removed an event month found only in press coverage, and corrected the author of the 1963 alien-race memo.
