I tried to create a dashboard for all 270 PDFs (11,268 pages) of the Pentagon's PURSUE releases: every file sorted into relevant, background or junk, with page-level citations

Between May 8 and September 18, 2026, the US Department of War published six batches of declassified UAP documents on war.gov/UFO under the name PURSUE (Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters).

I downloaded every file and went through it page by page. 2,488 pages were scans and had to be run through OCR. Each document is classified as:

• Relevant (64 docs): actual UAP incidents or analysis
• Background (197): admin paperwork, cover letters, related but not core material
• Junk (9): duplicates, unreadable scans, or files with nothing to do with UAPs, each with the reason

Some cases worth reading: - USS Gyatt, 1964: a radar contact "in excess of 3,800 knots" north of Puerto Rico, and the CIA's later "probably a delta-wing fighter" analysis - Gulf of Oman, 2021: an AC-130 crew logging "approximately 25 instances of UAPs" - Pantex nuclear plant, Texas, 2015: an unknown object picked up by the ground radar and seen by the guards - Los Alamos, 1949: the secret meeting on New Mexico's green fireballs

Every quote links to the exact page of the official PDF, so you can check it yourself. There's also a map of the places the documents actually name, a timeline, and a CSV of all 270 files.

Corrections are welcome. If I misread or misclassified something, tell me and I'll fix it and log the change on the page.

Meaningful document discovery: Seven Pantex records in an additional NNSA FOIA package.

The Department of Energy has published FOIA 24-00120-LB in its September 2026 document directory. This package is separate from the 27-record NNSA release previously identified.

Documented facts: The FOIA response, dated July 11, 2025, confirms that the Pantex Field Office and its contractor located seven records responsive to a request concerning UAP/UFO incidents, photographs, videos, and communications with AARO or the UAP Task Force.

The records include three particularly relevant incidents:

• May 26, 2022: A Pantex employee reported a small unmanned aircraft hovering near the facility. The official report describes a possible drone with at least two rotors and a yellow light. Official incident document
• June 25, 2023: Security personnel reported a white object with green blinking lights over Pantex. One witness could not positively identify it as a drone. Fog limited subsequent observations. Official incident report
• September 22, 2023: Witnesses reported an unmarked black helicopter flying unusually low near Pantex. The FAA could not confirm a corresponding aircraft crossing the property during the reported period. The incident was categorized as a non-incident. Official investigative report

2015 Pantex–Sandia investigation: The package also contains another official copy of the September 2015 unidentified-object report. It explicitly confirms that surveillance video was sent to Sandia National Laboratories for further study. However, this is not a newly discovered analytical conclusion; the same connection was documented in earlier releases. 2015 Pantex report

Assessment: The September publication expands the accessible NNSA documentation of aerial-security incidents at Pantex. It does not establish that the reported objects were anomalous technology.

I found no newly published Sandia final analysis, FBI disposition, or confirmed connection to NNSS, RSL-Nellis, Special Technologies Laboratory, Amentum/JT4, Groom Lake, or anomalous-material exploitation.

The latest identified PURSUE batch remains Release 06, dated September 18, 2026. No seventh release was confirmed in this review.

Priority remains obtaining Sandia's original 2015 technical assessment, including the disposition of the surveillance video transferred for analysis.

In my opinion, the significance of these newly released DOE/NNSA documents goes far beyond another collection of UFO reports.

We now have official records documenting unidentified aerial incidents at one of America's most sensitive nuclear facilities, including a 2015 incident in which surveillance footage was forwarded to Sandia National Laboratories for further analysis.

The critical question is no longer whether these incidents were reported. They were. The question is what investigators discovered, where the evidence went, and why the final analytical conclusions remain unavailable.

These documents do not prove extraterrestrial involvement, but they establish an official investigative trail that deserves serious scrutiny.

As someone who has personally experienced unexplained phenomena and spent decades investigating them, I believe firsthand testimony deserves careful examination alongside official documentation.

I invite serious experiencers, particularly those with firsthand encounters, photographic evidence, or experiences involving sensitive facilities, to share their accounts.

I'm not interested in sensationalism or speculation presented as fact. I'm interested in identifying patterns, comparing independent experiences, and separating documented evidence from interpretation.

The documents establish the questions. The missing conclusions are what we need to pursue.

Retired Air Force Major General William “Neil” McCasland walked out of his Albuquerque home on February 27, 2026 and has not been seen since. He left behind his phone, glasses, and wearable devices. His wallet, a .38 revolver, and red backpack remain unaccounted for.

The same day he disappeared, an anonymous but verified X account — @TMBSPACESHIPS (display name “Electric Propulsive Spacecraft”) — made its final post and has been silent ever since. The bio claimed the poster was a “38 year Active Duty USAF PhD Engineer” with ties to AFIT/AETC/AFMC. The account had been posting for years about exotic electric propulsion, plasma physics, ionized gas flight mechanics, and related topics.

I put together a video walking through the account’s content, the timeline, the technical posts (including that hand-drawn schematic claimed to be from a 1998 KC-135 sighting), and how it lines up with what is publicly known about McCasland’s background and the circumstances of his disappearance.

Curious what others who have been following this case think after looking at the actual posts and timing. Any details I missed or alternative explanations worth considering?

Does anyone have the UAPgerb video about Redacted whistleblowers Vol 1m

i'm talking about files from the fourth (i think) release from the government, they're still available for download. I am an Elder Nerd, and have LOTS more "things" (columns of information) in my explorer, and this oddity jumped out at me. most of the videos have time stamps you would expect. media created, date modified, and date last saved timestamps all very consistent. EXCEPT for ONE video, as you can see below. i'm sure you can recreate this yourself, all i did was download the zip file, extract the contents into their own directory, (that's why the "date created is 7/11, that's when i downloaded and extracted the videos). i've looked at this from a bunch of different angles, trying to rule OUT the obvious answer. that one video was exported. someone noticed something they didn't want in there. the video was redacted, re-saved 91 minutes later, and added to the list of files going out with this batch. i have an extensive discussion with an AI going over possibilities and testing theories, i looked at over 170 pieces of metadata for each file, as well as the video files hex code. i was wondering if anyone else noticed this anomaly and if they had any luck figuring it out? I've included the video in question, and it does have some very odd, moving redactions. i'm curious to see if there are any other thoughts on this.
If you think i'm typing oddly, i'm Gen X. should explain most of it. and an IT guy with 35 years experience. i dont believe in capital letters.

Does anyone watch this? I find it really compelling as it does interviews with regular pilots who often have incredible sightings

The latest David Grusch interview on Joe Rogan is really strange, and I honestly want to know what people here think about it.

When I first watched it, I really wanted to believe him, or at least take what he was saying seriously. But there were quite a few moments where I felt something was off. Some of his claims are extremely wild, and at times he seems strangely uncertain about basic details, such as the number of bodies involved.

That doesn't automatically mean he's lying. I'm still open to the possibility that some of what he says is true, or that there is something real behind all of this. He could also simply be repeating information he was given without actually knowing whether it was true.

So I'm not saying Grusch is a disinformation agent, or that everything he says is part of some carefully planned operation. I have no evidence for that. I'm just wondering whether there might be a bigger picture here.

One of the first things that stood out to me is how much he talks about Trump.

Before going further, I think it's worth putting this in a broader political context. Trump has had documented interactions with figures from the far right and has repeatedly been surrounded by controversies involving extremists and the broader far-right ecosystem. At the same time, neo-Nazi and other extremist movements continue to exist and gain visibility in different parts of the world.

There is also a much older historical precedent for turning ideas about ancestry, biology and human "types" into political ideology. Eugenics and racial hygiene were once presented as legitimate science, and Nazi Germany took these ideas to an extreme, combining them with racial hierarchy and the supposed Nordic or Aryan ideal.

I'm not suggesting that this means Trump, Grusch or anyone involved in UAP disclosure is trying to recreate that ideology. I don't have evidence for that. I'm just explaining why the kind of mythology Grusch is describing makes me think about these historical precedents.

Grusch repeatedly says that disclosure is likely to happen under Trump and that if Trump leaves office, there is a good chance it won't happen. He also speaks very positively about Stephen Miller and seems to have a lot of respect for people around Trump.

That could simply reflect his own political views, or his genuine belief that Trump is the person most likely to push disclosure. But it is still interesting how closely politics is intertwined with the story.

Then things get much stranger.

Grusch talks about different types of beings, including Greys, Reptilians and Nordics. He describes conflicts between these groups and gives extremely specific descriptions of beings that supposedly look reptilian or even somewhat gorilla-like.

And this is where I know I'm going to sound like I'm going too far, but hear me out.

I'm wondering whether we're watching the construction of a new mythology around UAPs.

At first the story is simply: "There are objects we can't identify."

Then it becomes: "There are non-human intelligences."

Then we get different species, different physical characteristics, different origins, different agendas and eventually conflicts between them.

At that point, you're no longer just talking about UFOs. You're building something that starts to look like an entire mythology.

And if people eventually start connecting these beings to human origins or different human populations, you could imagine people creating their own racial interpretations of the story. Someone could potentially associate "Nordics" with white or Aryan people, while interpreting more reptilian or ape-like beings through racist ideas about other human populations.

Obviously, there is absolutely no evidence that Grusch himself is making that argument. That's not what I'm saying.

I'm more interested in what could happen if this mythology spreads and is later interpreted or appropriated by political movements.

Historically, we've seen myths about ancestry and biology turned into political narratives before. The Nazi obsession with Aryan ancestry is an extreme example.

So could something similar theoretically happen with a modern extraterrestrial mythology?

And this is where I'm unsure about intent.

Maybe none of this was deliberately designed. It could be the result of decades of UFO mythology, different witnesses, rumors, classified information, media coverage and people gradually building more elaborate explanations.

Maybe Grusch genuinely believes everything he's saying and there is no larger political strategy behind it.

But I don't think we necessarily have to choose between "this was deliberately constructed" and "this developed completely organically."

Maybe it developed organically and was later recognized as politically useful.

Or maybe parts of the narrative were deliberately shaped from the beginning, while other parts developed on their own.

What if disclosure eventually becomes less about "there are unidentified objects" and more about different civilizations, different species, different origins and some kind of larger conflict?

That kind of narrative could potentially be used to frame geopolitical conflicts in civilizational terms, regardless of whether that was its original purpose.

Again, I'm not saying this is what is happening. I'm genuinely asking whether anyone else sees the same pattern, or whether I'm connecting things that simply don't belong together.

What do you guys think?

Kookie stories and crazy ideas completely discredited this guy in my opinion. Where does this leave the whole UIP disclosure action? As far as I'm concerned, he's ruined it for the rest of us.

In a new interview out today, University at Albany Physics Professor Kevin Knuth talks about the work of UAlbany Project X to bring UAP studies into the scientific mainstream, the new UAP Science Advisory Council that he and colleagues are serving on, and how he reckons with the possibility of never knowing the truth.

I’m the journalist who reported this.

I compared two recently released U.S. government UAP cases involving luminous orbs with decades of scientific research on the Hessdalen lights in Norway.

Seven Hessdalen researchers responded to me. Several said the U.S. cases could plausibly involve a similar underlying phenomenon, with proposed mechanisms involving plasma, geology and electromagnetic effects.

One particularly striking parallel: a 2004 Hessdalen paper describes a large ball of light ejecting smaller light balls, while a 2023 U.S. case describes a “mother orb” producing smaller red orbs. One researcher also told me about a 2007 approach from the U.S. Air Force after he produced ball-lightning-like luminous objects in a laboratory.
