Grusch, Borland, and Brown: Waive the NDAs for the Public – Not Only for PURSUE
Filmmaker James Fox told the New York Post that David Grusch, Dylan Borland, and Matthew Brown have made a direct public plea for President Trump to waive their NDAs so they can speak to the country, not only to a government intake desk. Fox called it the first such public ask. Brown said his NDAs last for life without written authorization. Grusch, in a video Fox released: “Mr. President, give us the authorization and we’re ready to go.” He said he has seen photographs and video of recovery operations, “the craft and the non-human occupants.” Borland said disclosure has to come from Trump, including recovered materials and “entities – biologics.” Rep. Burlison praised the PURSUE tranches; Rep. Luna said her priority remains whistleblower protection. The September 14 DoW waiver still covers communications with PURSUE only – not press, podcasts, or an open hearing.

PURSUE Release 06: 71 Files, 480-mph Orbs, the Tremonton Film
The Department of War posted the sixth PURSUE tranche: 71 files (55 PDFs, 15 videos, 1 audio; ~2,595 pages; 1952–2025). Sean Parnell said more is coming on a rolling basis at WAR.GOV/UFO. Headliners: CENTCOM infrared of six spherical objects over the Middle East in 2025, mission report D108 estimating 480 mph; INDOPACOM Yellow Sea clips including a sphere moving through clouds; the 1952 Tremonton Newhouse Kodachrome plus Blue Book files; Capt. Ruppelt’s March 1952 briefing (~20% of 800 cases unexplained); and 37 AAWSAP DIRDs (warp, wormholes, antigravity, tissue-field effects). CBS notes the DIRDs were already public via FOIA; Friday’s copies add previously withheld DIA office names. Full article →

Corbell and Knapp: 20 Questions the Pentagon Wouldn’t Answer on the Waiver
On WEAPONIZED, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp walked through more than 20 questions they submitted after the PURSUE legal waiver. A War Department official, they said, replied that there was nothing to add beyond the original announcement and pointed remaining questions to the White House. The episode title is the point: who the PURSUE representatives are, what Congress gets, and whether anything that enters the channel is ever supposed to reach the public remain unanswered in the text itself.

Burlison and Japan’s Hamada: Allies Need a Shared UAP Channel
Rep. Eric Burlison, former Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada, and Yoshiharu Asakawa argue in The Debrief that U.S. and Japanese elected officials are learning about UAP near their own territory from PURSUE file drops, not from their own ministries. They cite INDOPACOM cases Japan only saw after the American release, AARO hotspot data over western and southern Japan, and a July 2025 Genkai Nuclear Power Station incident whose security-camera footage Diet members still cannot get. They want the Emerging Technologies Interparliamentary Caucus as a place for lawmakers to compare notes. Japan Diet UAP proposal →

Loeb and Marik on the Waiver: Useful – If Anyone Can Find the Intake Desk
Avi Loeb told NewsNation the DoW legal waiver could matter because first-hand accounts can yield what the public PURSUE videos still cannot – the same gap the Science Advisory Council has been stuck on. Former Pentagon and State Department analyst Marik von Rennenkampff called it a “step in the right direction.” Jeremy Corbell added that the intelligence community appears to be on a separate track from this Department of War text. DefenseScoop reported Pentagon spokespeople would not identify the PURSUE representatives or answer questions about the waiver on Monday. The document still does not authorize talking to the press.

Pentagon: Talk to PURSUE About UAP – NDAs and SAP Oaths Set Aside for That Channel
The Department of War issued a legal waiver authorizing current and former DoW service members, civilians, and contractors to provide UAP-related National Defense Information to designated PURSUE representatives. The announcement says the waiver supersedes civil and administrative enforcement in NDAs and Special Access Program Indoctrination Agreements – “strictly for communications directed to the PURSUE team.” It is not a public-speech grant and does not itself declassify anything. The Black Vault notes AARO already had a statutory NDA-override path, and that David Grusch still declined a 2023 AARO interview over collateral SAP concerns the new text does not clearly answer.
