Five drops.
What do we know?
The U.S. government is publishing batches of previously unreleased UAP records through the PURSUE portal. This page follows those five batches only. It does not mix in old UFO stories, rumors, or unrelated archives.

The ten files I would read first.
Score = quality of the public evidence, not “chance it is NHI.” I score provenance, directness, corroboration, technical detail, and the strength of ordinary alternatives. I audited all 375 catalog rows across Releases 01–05, then re-read the highest-signal reports and media. A high score still has important gaps. D091 and PR021 are deliberately out: their own records point toward a balloon or known-aircraft explanation.
1953 Naval Photographic Interpretation Center analysisDOW-UAP-D098 · 1953 · Release 05
The record documents photogrammetric and luminosity analysis and states its assumptions. Its conclusions are tentative, historical, and depend on old film.
76/100
OPEN ↗Pacific Ocean video bundleDOW-UAP-PR123–PR127 · 2019 · Release 05
PR123 is 64 seconds and links four related clips from the same contemporaneous capture. It is still a digitally altered screen recording with no native data.

VIDEO ↗Air Materiel Command / Project Sign reviewDOW-UAP-D100 · 1947–48 · Release 05
A period government investigation distinguishes reports from explanations and says a small remainder lacked everyday explanations—but found no physical evidence or proof of alien origin.
58/100
OPEN ↗Eastern U.S. range-fouler debriefDOW-UAP-D089 · 2020 · Release 04
A standardized military debrief is paired with PR106. The object is described as small and indistinguishable; the report supplies no measured size, range, or speed.

OPEN ↗Syria mission reportDOW-UAP-D032 · Oct. 2024 · Release 01
A contemporaneous mission report preserves the operational setting and an unusual light description. Its own format is qualitative, with no public measurements or raw sensor package.
51/100
OPEN ↗UAE infrared videoDOW-UAP-PR026 · Oct. 2023 · Release 01
A 43-second official clip gives more to inspect than a still, but the sensor pans, loses tracking, and the public record lacks raw metadata.
48/100
VIDEO ↗Middle East infrared videoDOW-UAP-PR024 · 2023 · Release 04
Direct official imagery is useful, but the visible contrast and zoom changes do not establish size, speed, structure, or origin.
44/100
VIDEO ↗Middle East unresolved UAP videoDOW-UAP-PR019 · 2022 · Release 01
A five-second official clip, but the linked mission report says “possible missile” and identifies other nearby objects as possible birds.
36/100
VIDEO ↗Iraq unresolved UAP videoDOW-UAP-PR023 · Dec. 2022 · Release 01
A traceable ten-second government video with minimal context. It shows movement across the frame, not independently measured anomalous performance.

What is PURSUE?
It is the government’s public release program for unresolved UAP records and historical documents. The official portal says a case can remain unresolved simply because there is not enough data to identify what was observed. That is different from evidence of a non-human origin.

OPEN ↗How to read a file
Keep the questions simple.
1. What is the source?
Is it an original government document, a video, a summary, or a witness account? A source is strongest when you can inspect the original file and its date.
2. What does it actually show?
Observed means someone or a sensor recorded something. Unidentified means the public evidence did not settle what it was. Those are the facts the file may support.
3. What is missing?
Size, distance, speed, raw sensor data, or full video often are not public. Without them, dramatic-looking footage cannot establish extraordinary performance.
Our rule for this site
We will only add a claim when it can be traced to a released government file. We will label facts, official assessments, and open questions separately. When the evidence is incomplete, we will say so plainly—not fill the gap with a theory.
