National Reconnaissance Office UAP / PURSUE Memorandum

Signed by the designated official, the memo instructs all NRO personnel and programs to report relevant UAP cases immediately through designated channels, including a PURSUE coordinator or specific email, for review by a working group that coordinates with AARO. It expands the working definition of UAP to encompass any abnormal phenomenon departing from known physics, current technology, or known human sources that may suggest a non-human origin. The directive explicitly folds in terms such as unidentified aerial phenomena, UFOs, aliens, extraterrestrials, and non-human intelligence. It clarifies that existing NDAs and compartmentalization cannot prevent authorized disclosures to PURSUE or AARO representatives. The memo supports the broader Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) without confirming any specific programs or evidence of NHI.
