PURSUE.

Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters.

In response to President Donald J. Trump's February 2026 directive for transparency on U.S. government information regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), the Department of War — with support from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — is overseeing a government-wide effort to expeditiously find, review, identify, declassify and publicly release unresolved UAP-related records. The undertaking coordinates dozens of agencies and the review of tens of millions of records, many existing only on paper, spanning eight decades.

ON THE RECORD

Statements from the principals.

"The Department of War is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government's understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation — and it's time the American people see it for themselves."
PETE HEGSETH
U.S. Secretary of War
"Under President Trump's leadership, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is actively coordinating the Intelligence Community's declassification efforts with the Department of War to ensure a careful, comprehensive, and unprecedented review of our holdings."
TULSI GABBARD
Director of National Intelligence
"For the first time in history, the American people have unfettered access to declassified government files on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena — a level of transparency that no prior administration has delivered."
KASH PATEL
Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation
"At NASA, our job is to bring the brightest minds and most advanced scientific instruments to bear, follow the data, and share what we learn. We will remain candid about what we know to be true, what we have yet to understand, and all that remains to be discovered."
JARED ISAACMAN
NASA Administrator
"Since the site's launch on May 8, 2026, WAR.GOV/UFO has received over 1 billion hits worldwide, highlighting the unprecedented levels of interest in this topic and the Trump administration's historic transparency effort. The Department of War and our agency partners are actively working on the third release."
SEAN PARNELL
Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs
"Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
DONALD J. TRUMP
President of the United States · Truth Social, 02·19·26
CURATOR'S NOTE

PURSUE files are unresolved cases. The government has not made a definitive determination on the phenomena observed. We mirror them here, alongside eight decades of prior record, so the evidence can be read in context rather than in isolation.

All imagery on this page is mirrored from war.gov/ufo; every record card links back to its primary source. Bundle downloads route directly to the Department of War / CloudFront origin and are unmodified.
