Summary

Superseded — see src-debrief-pursue-release-04-2026-07 for the actual Release 04 coverage, published July 10, 2026. This page is preserved as a historical record of a search/fetch mix-up.

This file is a re-fetch (June 23, 2026) of a Micah Hanks article originally published May 21, 2026 as a preview of pursue Release 02. The article previews up to 46 aaro-held UAP videos demanded by Rep. anna-paulina-luna in her March 31, 2026 letter to SecWar pete-hegseth, naming transmedium USOs, Syrian instant-acceleration footage, Iran formation videos, the Eglin AFB diamond case (AARO: “likely lighting balloon, moderate confidence”), and the Lake Huron AIM-9X shootdown footage. The underlying article is already fully covered in the vault as src-debrief-pursue-next-batch-preview-2026-05.

Note: This page was created in the context of searching for a PURSUE Release 04 preview article. The fetched URL resolves to the May 21 Release 02 preview, not a Release 04 preview. No Release 04 had been published as of June 23, 2026, though the DoW confirmed it was “actively working on next release” in the Release 03 press release (src-dow-pursue-release-03-2026-06).

  • Luna, jon-kosloski, and Rep. eric-burlison completed review of “40+ videos set for declassification” (Luna X post, May 15, 2026).
  • mick-west critiqued the Eglin AFB lighting-balloon hypothesis as under-evidenced.
