PURSUE / war.gov/UFO (334 Files, 1.7 Billion Hits, 2026)
01 Executive_Summary
ASSESSMENT: PURSUE (Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters) is the LARGEST UAP declassification in history. Trump directive February 19, 2026 — instructed Department of War (rebranded from DOD), FBI, NASA, and IC to identify, review, and release UAP records. Website: war.gov/UFO (launched May 8, 2026). 1.7 BILLION hits worldwide. FOUR RELEASES: (1) May 8, 2026: 126 PDFs, 14 photos, 28 videos; (2) June 12, 2026: transmedium evidence (submarine footage), first military engagement video (Lake Huron), Cold War physical residue (copper powder), coordinated behavior (orbs chasing jets); (3) June 12, 2026: 72 files — CIA's first contribution, FBI orb reports; (4) July 10, 2026: 40 files — 19 AARO 'unresolved' infrared videos (2015-2025), 1949-2015 nuclear-facility thread. TOTAL: 334 files (178 PDFs, 21 photos, 89 videos). Agencies: Pentagon, NASA, CIA, FBI, DOE. CRITICAL CONTENT: Transmedium (air-water), military engagement (shootdown attempt), physical residue (copper powder), coordinated orbs (chasing jets = F-22 intercept), nuclear facility thread (66 years 1949-2015). DOE involvement suggests nuclear/fusion connection. 'Still does not prove alien' but documents 'extraordinary capabilities.' 'No recovered materials, biological evidence, or communication' in Release 04.
