AARO posted a sole-source intent to subscribe to David Marler's NUFOHRC collection in Rio Rancho – hundreds of thousands of pre-1990 case files, including APRO and J. Allen Hynek papers the government says it cannot get anywhere else.
The Pentagon's UFO office has failed to deliver congressionally mandated reports, lost track of key evidence, and gone quiet. Former officials say the system is broken.
Fox News reports President Trump ordered the Department of War and the intelligence community to abrogate nondisclosure agreements for former employees and contractors who bring UAP information to AARO or PURSUE. Officials say it is not a public declassification order.
Labour MP Clive Lewis, a former shadow defence secretary, says UK ministers told Parliament the Ministry of Defence was not in Five Eyes UAP groups. Pentagon agendas, New Zealand FOI, and an Information Commissioner ruling show British officials were in the room.
Daryl Johnson spent 15 years as a senior security analyst at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reviewing drone and UAP reports over commercial reactors. On NewsNation he told Ross Coulthart the picture is gravely concerning. FOIA records already show 22 incidents in six months, including a triangular object with a spotlight over Pennsylvania's Susquehanna plant.
Avi Loeb has assembled a 15-member UAP Science Advisory Council that reports to the White House, Pentagon, FBI, and intelligence community. The council has submitted its first request for data. But it can only see unclassified material – and the real evidence may be locked behind walls the council cannot reach.
Principal Deputy DNI Aaron Lukas signed July 31 guidance putting Trump's UAP NDA directive into effect: any NDA blocking disclosure to the President or AARO/PURSUE designees is 'no longer in force.' All intelligence agencies have 30 days to comply.
The fifth PURSUE tranche drops 41 files and 16 official videos: AC-130 cold orbs over the Gulf of Oman, 2026 FBI infrared, Middle East and Pacific sensor clips, FBI Form 302s with bureau digital renderings including the 2002 Bagram triangle, plus a Brazil/Bahia cable and Hegseth transparency statement.
The fourth PURSUE tranche includes three NASA photographs from Space Shuttle Columbia's STS-80 mission showing an unidentified object in low-Earth orbit, plus 19 military videos, a 1949 Los Alamos green-fireball conference, Yellow Sea and East China Sea sensor tracks, and a Pantex nuclear-site incident. The archive is now at 334 files.
The White House says the Department of War has released the first batch of unresolved UAP records under PURSUE, a new rolling disclosure system. The initial files include DOW/AARO videos, Apollo-era imagery, FBI photos, Gemini audio, and source documents.
TIME's Jeffrey Kluger publishes a major feature on UAP disclosure – covering PURSUE file releases, AARO, Loeb's Science Advisory Council, the Disclosure Foundation's Capitol Hill forum, and polling that shows 84% of Americans want more answers while only 21% trust the government.
The first PURSUE tranche includes a 130-foot bronze ellipsoid, a UAP making 90-degree turns over Greece, an FBI interview describing a military encounter, a memo about 4-foot beings, Apollo imagery, Gemini audio, and 2025 infrared stills. Here is what each file is, why it matters, and what's still missing.
In September 2023, NASA released a landmark report calling for better data, less stigma, and a new UAP research director. More than two years on, the follow-through has been hard to find.
The third PURSUE tranche includes a 1948 Air Force memo warning the Navy that flying disc reappearances follow predictable cycles, an AARO director's letter admitting 40% of a 2023 orb event defies explanation, a CIA-destroyed 'message from space,' and a craft over Cheyenne Mountain. The Pentagon's own records now contradict its own denials.
Ross Coulthart reports the President has received a direct briefing on the legacy UAP crash retrieval program – deeper than anything from his first term. AARO showed Congress 30 videos that 'made everyone gasp.' The question is no longer what the government knows. It's what the President will tell the public.
The Pentagon's second UAP file drop includes video of an F-16 destroying a UAP over Lake Huron, submarine-proximate footage, Apollo 12 audio, a senior intelligence officer's orb encounter report, and a 116-page Cold War sightings dossier. War.gov/ufo passes 1 billion hits. A third release is already being prepared.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has demanded 46 specific classified military UAP videos from the Pentagon by April 14. The list reads like a battlefield inventory – with callsigns, coordinates, and dates that only an insider could know.
Former Pentagon intelligence official Christopher Mellon says Trump's order to release UFO files is significant but warns that real disclosure won't come from an archival data dump – it will come from the White House.
Former acting AARO director Tim Phillips now describes objects in space and impossible maneuvers – things he never said while in the chair. He's not the first. The pattern raises a simple question: what are officials allowed to say while they're still on the job?
A 2024 whistleblower report claims the Pentagon operates a classified program called Immaculate Constellation that collects and conceals UAP imagery from Congress and the public. The DoD denies it exists.
From 'flying saucer' to 'unidentified anomalous phenomena,' the language around UFOs has changed – and the words matter. Here's the complete guide to the terms shaping congressional hearings, Pentagon reports, and disclosure.
A House lawmaker says the UAP Caucus has a lead on a new whistleblower – but instead of a public hearing, Congress is pushing for classified briefings behind closed doors. Here's what's changed.
The FY2026 NDAA requires AARO to brief lawmakers on every UAP intercept conducted by NORAD and U.S. Northern Command – going back to 2004. It also orders a review of classification guides that may be hiding UFO-related information.
AARO's FY2024 annual report catalogs 757 UAP cases, resolves most as drones and balloons, flags 21 for deeper analysis – and says it found no evidence of extraterrestrial technology.
On July 26, 2023, David Grusch testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee that the U.S. government runs secret UAP crash-retrieval programs. The Pentagon denies it. The fallout is still unfolding.
