Pentagon Launches PURSUE — First Major UAP Document Drop Under Trump Directive

What Was Released

On Friday, May 8, 2026, the US Department of War (Pentagon) published the first batch of declassified UFO/UAP records through a new public portal: war.gov/UFO.

The release, branded PURSUE (Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters), contains 162 declassified files sourced from multiple federal agencies including the military, FBI, NASA, State Department, and intelligence community. Some documents date back to the late 1940s.

This is the first tranche in what the administration says will be an ongoing, rolling release updated every few weeks.

Agencies Involved

  • Department of War (Pentagon) — lead agency, hosting the portal
  • Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) — coordinating declassification across all 18 US intelligence agencies, led by DNI Tulsi Gabbard
  • FBI — Director Kash Patel confirmed on May 6 that the FBI handed over its first batch of classified UAP documents to the inter-agency committee
  • NASA — contributed Apollo-era mission imagery
  • State Department — documents showing diplomatic efforts related to UAP
  • All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) — PURSUE is framed as complementary to AARO's ongoing work; AARO's open caseload exceeded 2,000 incidents earlier this year

Key Contents of the First Tranche

The documents focus on cases where the government has been unable to make a definitive determination about the observed phenomena. Highlights include:

  • Apollo 12 & Apollo 17 imagery — archival frames from the Moon missions, including one Apollo 17 frame showing three bright lights above the lunar surface, plus cockpit transcript describing "a few very bright particles or fragments" drifting past the spacecraft
  • 17 newly declassified UAP images spanning from 1972 Apollo missions to 2026 military encounters
  • FBI infrared captures — unidentified objects over the western United States (September & December 2025)
  • Military encounter reports — incidents off UAE coast (Oct 2023), near Greece (Oct 2023), Middle East (2013), African airspace (2025)
  • INDOPACOM 2024 report — football-shaped object near Japan
  • 2026 US Army report — North American sighting
  • Recreations/sketches of 2023 southeastern US sightings

The Department of War acknowledged that unresolved status frequently reflects insufficient data rather than evidence of anomalous capability, and invited private-sector analysis.

Political Context

  • President Trump announced on Truth Social (February 19, 2026) that he was directing the Pentagon and other agencies to release all government files related to aliens, extraterrestrial life, UAP, and UFOs
  • Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the documents "long fueled justified speculation" and framed the release as transparency commitment
  • DNI Tulsi Gabbard stated this is the first in an ongoing joint declassification effort with the Pentagon

Reactions

Experts

  • Garrett Graff, author of "UFO: The Inside Story" — reviewed the files and found them consistent with tens of thousands of pages previously released; does not expect a "smoking gun" about extraterrestrial life. Welcomed the release but noted the documents likely don't change existing understanding.
  • Sean Kirkpatrick, former AARO director (until 2023) — cautioned that records he reviewed contained no evidence of recovered extraterrestrial technology; many viral UAP videos can be explained by infrared sensor artifacts (hot objects like jet engines appearing as pill-shaped thermal blooms).

Lawmakers / Public Figures

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene (former Rep, R-GA) — dismissed the release as "look at the shiny object" propaganda designed to distract from foreign wars, inflation ($4.50+/gallon gas), and unreleased Epstein files. "Unless they roll out live aliens and test demo UFOs… I have way better things to do on this Friday."

General Assessment

Experts urge caution: UAP videos are often misinterpreted by those unfamiliar with military technology. A 2024 Pentagon report rebutted claims that the US government has recovered alien technology or confirmed evidence of alien life. The new release appears consistent with that finding — interesting unresolved cases, but no confirmed extraterrestrial evidence.

What's Next

The administration says more tranches will follow every few weeks. The interagency effort spans "dozens of agencies and tens of millions of records," many still only on paper. AARO continues separate statutory reporting to Congress on resolved cases.
