What does it contain?

Preservation copies of the video clips from the first three PURSUE release tranches: 83 in total (27 from Release 01 of 2026-05-08, 50 from Release 02 of 2026-05-22, and 6 from Release 03 of 2026-06-12), embedded as click-to-load players that load nothing until you press play. The 11 NASA mission audio excerpts PURSUE also released are presented on the PURSUE UAP Documents & Images record.

Can I view or download these videos on this archive?

Yes. This archive hosts preservation copies of these public-domain U.S.-government clips and plays them in your browser when you click. The official PURSUE database at war.gov/ufo remains the authoritative source and carries each clip's case metadata.

Why are the clips labeled by release and sequence instead of by case?

The released bulk video sets are not individually titled, so this archive labels each clip by its release tranche and sequence number and points to the official PURSUE database for per-case metadata, rather than risk mis-attributing a clip to the wrong incident.

Does this archive take a position on what the videos show?

No. The portal describes these as unresolved cases, meaning the government is unable to make a definitive determination on the nature of the observed phenomena. 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 video clips on its own storage and embeds them as click-to-load players; the official PURSUE database at war.gov/ufo remains the authoritative source for each clip'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 video imagery released through PURSUE. According to the portal, materials are released on a rolling basis in tranches; the first tranche was released on 2026-05-08, the second on 2026-05-22, and the third on 2026-06-12, and the portal provides a searchable database of available PURSUE records spanning documents, video, imagery, and audio.

This archive hosts preservation copies of the released video clips — 83 in total (27 from Release 01, 50 from Release 02, and 6 from Release 03) — on its own storage, and embeds them below as click-to-load players that fetch nothing until a visitor presses play. The eleven NASA mission audio excerpts that PURSUE also released (also distributed as mp4) are presented separately on the PURSUE UAP Documents & Images record. The official PURSUE database at war.gov/ufo remains the authoritative source and carries each clip’s case metadata, including agency, incident date and location, and record identifier; the Release 01-02 bulk video sets are not individually titled, so those clips are labeled by release tranche and sequence, while the six Release 03 clips carry their official catalog titles (FBI-released orb videos and digital recreations).

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.
