Sean Parnell is the Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs and Chief Pentagon Spokesman in the Trump administration’s department-of-war. Social media handle: @SeanParnellASW.

Parnell is the on-record principal for the PURSUE Release 02 press release (May 22, 2026 — src-dow-pursue-release-02-2026-05). The release formalizes:

  • DoW’s “rolling basis” disclosure cadence (rolling-release-cadence).
  • The >1 billion hits war.gov/UFO traffic figure.
  • A Release 03 preview (“announced in the near future”).
  • The March 6, 2026 eight-House-Rep letter requesting 51 UAP-related records — a parallel congressional pressure track to anna-paulina-luna’s March 31 46-video letter.
  • The “no redactions on UAP-nature content” policy per Trump directive.

As Chief Pentagon Spokesman, Parnell confirmed and framed PURSUE Release 03 (June 12, 2026) as a continuation of DoW declassification (src-newsweek-pursue-release-03-2026-06).

Parnell also confirmed Release 04 (July 10, 2026) in the DoW primary-source statement, stating “The Department of War and our agency partners are actively working on the next release of UAP files” — signaling a fifth tranche. Notably, the Release 04 primary statement is markedly thinner than his Release 02/03 statements, omitting any portal-traffic figure, file/record count, or congressional-letter reference (src-dow-pursue-release-04-2026-07, src-cbs-pursue-release-04-2026-07, src-debrief-pursue-release-04-2026-07).

Parnell confirmed Release 05 (August 7, 2026) with an equally minimal statement — again no traffic figure, file count, or congressional reference — continuing the pattern set at Release 04. Signaled a sixth tranche (src-dow-pursue-release-05-2026-08).
