Department of War Releases UAP Files Under PURSUE Program

Summary

On May 8, 2026, the department-of-war announced the inaugural release of declassified UAP files under the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (pursue). The release follows donald-trump’s February 19, 2026 directive on Truth Social tasking the Secretary of War “and other relevant Departments and Agencies” with declassifying UAP/UFO/alien-life records (src-uap-trump-disclosure-2026). The release is interagency: department-of-war leads, with odni, department-of-energy (a new participant in the wiki’s disclosure architecture), aaro, nasa, fbi, and “additional Intelligence Community components.” Files are hosted at WAR.GOV/UFO with rolling future releases. The DoW concedes the materials have been reviewed for security but “many of the materials have not yet been analyzed for resolution of any anomalies” — i.e. raw declassification rather than analytic conclusions.

Key Claims

  • The release is the first rolling delivery under PURSUE — the operational vehicle for Trump’s February directive.
  • PURSUE is interagency: White House, odni, department-of-energy, department-of-war / aaro, nasa, fbi, plus additional IC components.
  • Materials are reviewed for security but “many… have not yet been analyzed for resolution of any anomalies.”
  • Rolling future tranches are promised.
