Summary
Primary-source press statement from sean-parnell (Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs and Chief Pentagon Spokesman) announcing the fourth tranche of declassified PURSUE UAP files, published July 10, 2026 and hosted at WAR.GOV/UFO. This is the authoritative primary-source record confirming the Release 04 date and continuation of the rolling-release cadence; it is markedly thinner than the Department of War’s Release 02 and Release 03 statements, omitting a portal-traffic milestone, file/record counts, and any congressional-letter references — the 40-file count and case-level content circulating in secondary reporting come from src-cbs-pursue-release-04-2026-07, src-debrief-pursue-release-04-2026-07, and src-thehill-pursue-release-04-2026-07, not from this statement itself.
Key Claims
- The Department of War published a fourth release of declassified and historical UAP files under PURSUE on July 10, 2026. (Sean Parnell)
- The collection continues to be hosted at WAR.GOV/UFO, with additional files to follow “on a rolling basis.” (Sean Parnell)
- DoW “and our agency partners” are “actively working on the next release of UAP files” — a Release 05 signal, consistent with the pattern set at Release 02 and Release 03. (Sean Parnell)
- Unlike the Release 02 and Release 03 primary statements, this release contains no cumulative war.gov/UFO traffic figure, no file/record count, and no reference to congressional record requests.
