Department of War Issues Legal Waiver to Authorize Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Disclosures to PURSUE

The memorandum announces a targeted legal waiver superseding non-disclosure agreements and special access program terms for the purpose of disclosing UAP-related information to designated PURSUE representatives. It authorizes service members, civilians, and contractors to provide protected national defense information without fear of administrative or civil penalties. The waiver supports a systematic review, security evaluation, and declassification of historical and ongoing UAP data as part of a presidential transparency mandate. It addresses historical barriers cited by individuals with knowledge of UAP programs and establishes a protected pipeline for potential further public releases through the PURSUE portal.
