A July 31 memo signed by the Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence orders every U.S. spy and defense agency to tell staff that their non-disclosure agreements no longer bar them from reporting UAP information - but only through official channels, not to the public.
The Pentagon's fifth PURSUE release, posted August 7, adds 41 files from the widest set of agencies yet - and a new kind of evidence: FBI witness forms, including federal agents describing objects they could not identify over the western U.S. this year.
The Pentagon's fourth PURSUE release dropped July 10 - 40 newly declassified files including a lockdown at America's nuclear warhead factory, a star-shaped object tracked over the Yellow Sea, and a 1949 meeting of atomic scientists stumped by mystery lights.
Rep. Eric Burlison arranged White House-level access to classified UAP material, toured a key naval test facility, and says the intelligence officials who briefed him cannot identify the glowing, plasma-like objects he consistently sees on restricted footage.
A US military infrared sensor filmed four unidentified objects in synchronized flight over the Persian Gulf region in August 2022. The footage is now public via PURSUE - and officially unexplained after nearly four years.
America's first public UFO file portal logged 1.7 billion views in six weeks. But Congress has a separate list of 46 specific military videos - including F-16 footage of a UAP shootdown - that it says the Pentagon is withholding.
The first PURSUE release included official NASA post-mission debriefs from Apollo 11, 12, and 17 in which trained astronauts logged unexplained sightings - from an object near the Moon to three lights photographed in triangular formation above the lunar surface.
Across three PURSUE tranches, glowing spheres appear more than any other shape - and while most have conventional explanations, a stubborn fraction don't. This is what the documented evidence shows.
For 17 years, a CIA cable marked 'Secret' documented a disc-shaped object hovering over Harare International Airport - and the American intelligence community's response: put everything on high alert and debate what it was.
The Pentagon's UAP investigation office has 2,000+ active case files - and its own director says 40% remain without a conventional explanation. But AARO has not published its legally required 2025 annual report, raising questions about what the office is finding.
Orbs dominate the U.S. government's declassified UAP files - and have for decades. Scientists now have several credible theories about what they could be, but a substantial share of cases still has no explanation at all.
In October 2023, six federal agents near a sensitive U.S. site watched silent orange orbs release red ones over two nights. Newly released Pentagon files show AARO ran every check available - and still can't account for 40% of what the agents reported.
In February 2022, five service members at Fort Carson saw a jet-sized white object - textured like fish scales, shaped like a potato - hanging motionlessly over the mountain that shields America's nuclear command bunker. AARO investigated. The answer came back: low confidence.
Bipartisan senators, scientists, and national security officials gathered June 25 at the Russell Senate Office Building for the Disclosure Forum 2026 - Rep. Luna called for White House immunity for sources who may hold knowledge of potentially recovered nonhuman materials.
The UAP Governance Board - run by ODNI, FBI, and the Department of War - convened for the first time on June 15, but Avi Loeb's independent science team confirmed they hold no security clearance and no access to any classified UAP evidence.
The Pentagon's PURSUE programme posted 72 more declassified files on June 12, 2026, revealing that FBI agents traced five years of unexplained orb sightings to a single northeastern U.S. property, while the AARO director found 40% of phenomena cases remain unresolved.
Three years after a U.S. Air National Guard F-16 shot down an unidentified object over Lake Huron, declassified footage and Canadian debris analysis now give the clearest picture yet of what it was.
The Department of War launched war.gov/ufo in May 2026 and published two tranches of declassified UAP records. Here is a clear-eyed account of what was released, what it shows, and what it does not.
