Common questions

What is the PURSUE UAP Documents & Images record?
It is an archive entry collecting the non-video files released through PURSUE (the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters), the U.S. Department of War's UAP records release portal at war.gov/ufo.
What does it contain?
175 documents (PDF), 24 still images, and 11 NASA mission audio excerpts (Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury programs, plus an astronaut interview), drawn from PURSUE Release 01 (2026-05-08), Release 02 (2026-05-22), and Release 03 (2026-06-12). This archive hosts preservation copies and lists them with direct links and audio players.
Where is the official source?
The U.S. Department of War (war.gov), with support from ODNI. The authoritative database, which carries each file's case metadata, is at https://www.war.gov/ufo/.
Can I download these files on this archive?
Yes. This archive hosts preservation copies of these public-domain U.S.-government files and links to them directly; the official PURSUE database at war.gov/ufo remains the authoritative source.
Why are files labeled by file name instead of case title?
This archive labels each file by its released file name and points to the official PURSUE database for per-case metadata, rather than risk mis-attributing a file to the wrong case.
What about audio recordings?
PURSUE catalogs eleven NASA mission audio excerpts (Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury programs, plus an astronaut interview). They are included on this page in the audio section, hosted on this archive (released as mp4, audio over a slate), labeled by mission and date from the official catalog.
Does this archive take a position on the contents?
No. The portal describes these as unresolved cases. This archive asserts no conclusion beyond what the official source states and takes no position on the origin of the reported phenomena.

License note (source-level)

Content published by the U.S. Department of War (war.gov) under PURSUE is generally a U.S. Government work in the public domain under 17 U.S.C. §105. This archive hosts preservation copies of the released documents and images on its own storage and links to them directly; the official PURSUE database at war.gov/ufo remains the authoritative source for each file's case metadata. DoD seal and identity usage is governed by 18 U.S.C. §701 and DoD Directive 5410.20 and is not used by this archive.

Archivist note

PURSUE — the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters — is the U.S. Department of War’s UAP records and imagery release portal at war.gov/ufo. This record collects the non-video files released through PURSUE: 175 documents (PDF), 24 still images, and 11 NASA mission audio excerpts (Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury programs, plus an astronaut interview), drawn from Release 01 (2026-05-08), Release 02 (2026-05-22), and Release 03 (2026-06-12).

This archive hosts preservation copies of these public-domain files on its own storage and lists them below with direct links and players; the official PURSUE database at war.gov/ufo remains the authoritative source and carries each file’s case metadata, including agency, incident date and location, and record identifier. Documents and images are labeled by their released file names; the audio excerpts are labeled by mission and date from the official catalog. The audio was released as mp4 (audio over a slate) and is hosted on this archive alongside the documents and images. Together with the 83 video clips on the PURSUE UAP Imagery record, this completes the archive’s hosting of the PURSUE released media and document sets. The complete PURSUE catalog — all 294 released entries with their metadata — is also mirrored here as a machine-readable dataset: PURSUE catalog (CSV).

The portal states that the archived materials are unresolved cases, meaning the government is unable to make a definitive determination on the nature of the observed phenomena, and that the Department of War, with support from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is overseeing the release effort. The portal was confirmed via the Wayback availability API and a snapshot dated 2026-06-04; war.gov blocks automated fetch, so the listings were read through the browser and the archived snapshot rather than a direct automated request, consistent with this archive’s source-verification practice. This entry asserts no conclusion beyond what the official source states and takes no position on the origin of the reported phenomena.
