Summary
Medium essay by avi-loeb (June 12, 2026) giving the first independent galileo-project readout of PURSUE Release 03, which Loeb — that morning on CBS News — called the most intriguing tranche thus far. The release centers on a new June 5, 2026 report signed by AARO director jon-kosloski describing an orange “mother” orb launching smaller red orbs, with 40% of reported phenomena remaining unresolved. It also surfaces a 2022 Fort Carson / Colorado Springs daylight “potato”-shaped object with “articulating fish scales” that “cloaked,” and a 1992 cia confession that U-2 and OXCART flights accounted for more than half of late-1950s–1960s UFO reports. Loeb’s recurring frame: either a serious national-security breach or “the biggest discovery ever made in human history,” resolvable only with higher-quality scientific data.
Key Claims
- PURSUE Release 03 dropped June 12, 2026 and is “the most intriguing thus far” (Loeb, on CBS News).
- A June 5, 2026 report signed by jon-kosloski (aaro) describes an orange “mother” orb launching smaller red orbs; 40% of reported phenomena lack a reasonable explanation and remain unresolved (attributed to Kosloski/AARO).
- A 2022 report by five Fort Carson soldiers describes a white “potato”-shaped object with “distinct edges… articulating fish scales or panels” hovering near Cheyenne Mountain in daylight; it “‘cloaked’… and there was no shadow.”
- A 1992 cia document confesses that U-2 and later OXCART flights “accounted for more than one-half of all UFO reports during the late 1950s and most of the 1960s” (attributed to CIA).
- Loeb suggests sunlight glints off U-2-era test flights (U.S. or Soviet equivalents) could explain transient lights on 1950s photographic plates.
- Release also includes historic reports dating to the 1947 roswell-incident.
- Loeb’s resolution: get higher-quality scientific data; the matter is either a national-security breach or the biggest discovery in history (recurring two-interpretations framing).
