May 10, 2026 • Google News World

The US Department of War has published dozens of previously classified documents related to alleged Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings. The files, which were released through the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE), provide a glimpse into the government’s handling of these incidents.

The PURSUE system was established in 2020 to collect and analyze reports of UAP sightings. The documents published today include records from various military branches, including the Navy and Air Force, as well as intelligence agencies.

Some of the files contain descriptions of UAP sightings that date back several decades, while others provide more recent information on encounters with unidentified aerial objects. The documents also include notes and recommendations for further investigation into these incidents.

The release of these files has been welcomed by some lawmakers, including top Democrats who have expressed support for the government’s efforts to investigate UAP sightings. However, no official statement or reaction from the White House has been issued at this time.

The Pentagon has stated that it will continue to collect and analyze reports of UAP sightings, and that these documents are intended to provide transparency and accountability in the government’s handling of these incidents.
