jellyfish-drone-formation — Reported April 2026 Iran incident: F-15 pilot’s account of an interconnected, jellyfish-shaped drone formation, debated within the U.S. IC and skeptically analyzed by The War Zone
meshed-networking — “One-to-many” drone-coordination architecture letting a single operator command multiple drones; alleged Iranian capability per CNN’s jellyfish-formation reporting
fast-mover — Pilot slang for high-speed UAP (also “Fastwalker”); applied to Oct 29 2020 three-object case in PURSUE Release 02 preview
icy-worlds-protection-policy — 2026 COSPAR update defining icy worlds, Earth-life dry/cold envelope, and a 1,000-year biological-exploration period
lighting-balloon-hypothesis — AARO prosaic-explanation pattern for several pilot UAP reports (e.g., Eglin AFB diamond-formation); critiqued by Mick West as under-evidenced
mars-caves — Martian lava-tube caves and voids as radiation-shielded astrobiology targets; AbSciCon26 heli-drone and spelunking-robot sessions
metallic-orb — Recurring spherical UAP shape class recognized by AARO; characteristic of CENTCOM-area observations; 2022 Reaper EO capture in PURSUE Release 02 queue
rolling-release-cadence — DoW’s “tranches every few weeks” PURSUE disclosure pattern; Release 01 May 8 → Release 02 May 22 (14-day interval)
synthetic-biology-spaceflight — Long-duration spaceflight biology cluster: just-add-water drugs, bioplastic Mars habitats, plasma-jet decontamination
tic-tac-uap — Cigar-shaped UAP class named for the Nov 2004 Nimitz/Baja sighting; recurring across military reports including USCG HC-144 FLIR capture
titan-ms — AeroVironment AI-powered multi-sensor-fusion c-UAS detect/track/defeat system; bundled with Titan 4, EO/IR, and radar under JIATF-401’s Domestic Shield
transmedium-uap — UAP observed across airborne/seaborne/spaceborne domains; AARO definitional category encompassing USOs
nephilim — Genesis 6 figures sometimes interpreted as giants or offspring of fallen angels; recurring Christian-eschatological framing of UAP via Boebert and Perry Stone
technology-readiness-level — 1-9 NASA/DoD technology maturity scale; HWO’s Technology Development Plan targets TRL 5 by Mission Concept Review
dyson-sphere — Star-enclosing energy-harvesting megastructure (Freeman Dyson, 1960); modern “swarm” model predicts a distinctive cold-infrared H-R-diagram signature, best sought around red/white dwarfs
tidal-locking — Rotation-orbit synchronization producing permanent day/night hemispheres; 2026 lab modeling shows steady mantle convection may support localized habitability
range-fouler — Standardized Navy unauthorized-airspace-intrusion reporting form recurring across PURSUE tranches

Analyses

1994-tajik-air-uap-incident — 40-min UAP observation by 3 American 747SP pilots over Kazakhstan; Captain Ed Rhodes assessed it “extraterrestrial and under intelligent control” (State Dept cable, declassified 2026; PURSUE Release 01)
pursue-release-01-catalog — Per-record catalog of all 162 files in PURSUE Release 01 (May 8, 2026) — FBI, NASA, DoW, DoS, DoE
uap-personnel-deaths-claims-audit — Case-by-case open-source evidence audit of the “11+ UAP-adjacent deaths since 2022” claim; only 3 cases (Sullivan, McCasland, Elizondo) survive the documented-UAP-role + in-window filter
usper-statement-2025-uap-encounter — Late-2025 multi-hour helicopter aerial-search engagement with multiple swarms of orbs (PURSUE Release 01); single-source narrative with redactions; orb came within 10 ft of helicopter
