The PURSUE portal (war.gov/ufo) hosts tranches of declassified files spanning decades, including DIRDs from the AAWSAP program on advanced propulsion concepts, mission reports describing spherical objects and orbs, senior official firsthand narratives of encounters, and historical correspondence. Documents address unresolved cases, sensor data, and government processes for UAP reporting. Certain releases reference or analyze longstanding claims of non-human intelligence or retrieval programs, presenting primary records and assessments without confirming extraterrestrial origins. Additional batches continue on a rolling basis.
