The Pentagon dropped 162 classified UFO files today, and the government even gave it an acronym. They’re calling the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters “PURSUE,” which tells you everything about Washington that you need to know.
You can read it all yourself at war.gov/UFO. No clearance required.
Here are the ten cases worth your time.
- El Palmar Orbs launching orbs, western U.S., 2003.
Federal law enforcement officers on separate assignments independently reported the same thing over two days: orbs in the sky releasing smaller orbs. The Pentagon calls this “among the most compelling” reports it holds. Two witnesses. No coordination. Same story.
A composite photo released by the Pentagon is based on corroborating eyewitness accounts of an apparent ellipsoid bronze metallic object that materialized out of a bright light, measured 130 to 195 feet in length, and disappeared instantaneously. Here today, gone today.
- Iraq, 2024, high speed.
A mysterious craft zipped across a U.S. aircraft’s surveillance systems at a high rate of speed while that crew was attacking an unrelated target. Nobody was looking for it. It found them.
- The 90-degree turn, Greece, 2023.
A report accompanying video footage taken in Greece says the object was making multiple 90-degree turns at approximately 80 miles per hour. Physics says that’s not how things work. Physics can wait.
- Apollo 17’s three dots, 1972.
A NASA photograph from the Apollo 17 mission, taken in December 1972, shows three dots in a triangular formation in the lunar sky. The Pentagon says there is no consensus about the nature of the anomaly, but a new preliminary analysis suggests it could be a physical object. Fifty-three years to reach “could be.”
- Buzz Aldrin’s cabin flashes, Apollo 11, 1969.
In a 1969 debriefing after the Apollo 11 Moon Landing flight, Buzz Aldrin reported seeing “little flashes inside the cabin, spaced a couple of minutes apart” while trying to fall asleep. The man who walked on the moon couldn’t sleep because something was blinking at him.
- Alan Bean’s lights, Apollo 12, 1969.
During Apollo 12, Alan Bean reported flashes of light that he described as “sailing off into space.” Two missions. Two astronauts. Same phenomenon.
- Africa, 2025.
A U.S. military operator reported a UAP while operating within African airspace. The image is labeled “Unresolved.” The description stops there. Whatever was up there, they’re not saying more.
- Syria, 2024, the orange shapes.
Video from Syria shows two semi-transparent, irregularly shaped orange areas that each appear for two seconds. No explanation. No follow-up. Two seconds and gone.
- Roswell, 1947, the original memo.
One section of the FBI file includes a memo from an agent in the bureau’s Dallas field office to FBI headquarters, reporting that a major in the Air Force called to say that an object purporting to be a flying disc was recovered near Roswell. The government spent 79 years not telling you that memo existed.
None of the reviews have found anything that led investigators to conclude that UFOs are extraterrestrial in origin. That’s the official line, and it may even be true.
Decide for yourself. The files are open.
