The friendly map of war.gov/ufo — the tranches of UAP files released by the U.S. government in 2026, what each batch contains, and what the documents actually say.
PURSUE — Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters — is the public portal created by the U.S. Department of War in May 2026, hosted at war.gov/ufo, to consolidate declassified UAP files. It is the direct result of the February 19, 2026 presidential directive ordering federal agencies to identify and publicly release every record on alien life, UAP, and UFOs. No clearance is required — access is open to anyone.
The debut batch. 162 files covering more than 400 UAP incidents between 1947 and 2026 — documents, photos, and videos. Coordinated with ODNI, spanning dozens of agencies and tens of millions of records (many still paper-only). The portal passed hundreds of millions of hits within 24 hours.
64 additional files, mostly video. Includes over 40 videos requested directly by lawmakers and the first official audio ever released on the portal. Cumulative traffic passes 1 billion hits.
53 documents, 10 images, 6 videos, and 3 audio recordings from CIA, FBI, NASA, and the Pentagon. Describes 209 sightings of "green orbs," "discs," and "fireballs" near military installations. A report signed by the AARO director describes an orange "mother" orb launching smaller red orbs, observed by police officers in 2023, and admits: ~40% of reported phenomena remain without reasonable explanation. The portal passes 1.7 billion hits.
40 new records, including 23 UAP videos from the Department of War; Project Sign and Blue Book documents; CIA analyses of 1955 sightings; the Los Alamos aerial phenomena conference (1949); an incident report from the Pantex Plant (2015); FBI correspondence; and images from NASA STS-80. A parallel NSA FOIA release is available at disclosure.org.
Avi Loeb (Harvard / Galileo Project) has publicly reviewed the first batch and holds that 'extraordinary evidence' is still missing. Apollo-era photos of 'angular fragments' or bright falling particles may be ice shed from lunar modules or asteroid impacts. The files describe unidentified cases — the government admits it cannot identify what was observed — but no document confirms extraterrestrial contact, recovered artifact, or non-human intelligence.
