The unclassified memorandum, signed by the Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, instructs the U.S. intelligence community that nondisclosure agreements related to UAP are no longer in force for specified purposes. It directs personnel with relevant knowledge to report information through designated channels within 30 days to support the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE). The memo focuses on procedural requirements for reporting unresolved UAP encounters or related government activities dating back decades, in line with transparency directives. It does not contain analysis of specific incidents, endorsements of extraterrestrial hypotheses, or discussion of occupants or crash retrievals beyond the administrative framework for gathering information.
