All Briefings

One year ago an active-duty Navy senior chief, two Air Force veterans, and a journalist told a House task force what they had seen. That hearing started the 46-video fight and, eventually, the PURSUE releases. We searched the government's own manifest of all 450 released files, through Release 06, for the witnesses' cases: the USS Jackson, Langley, Vandenberg, the Yemen orb. None of them is there. With the hearing footage, Wiggins's cleared statement, and the full manifest search.

On JRE #2560, David Grusch said some orbs could be “sentient plasmoid” life and that some UAP crashes are “NHI versus NHI.” He never named the paper he cited. We found the best match, a 109-page 2024 paper built on NASA shuttle footage, and show its figures, what its own authors concede, and which of his other claims anyone can check.

Nine days after the Pentagon published 72 more UAP files, here is what they actually hold. Just over half, the AAWSAP warp-drive and wormhole studies, were already public since 2022. The new material is older: the 1952 Tremonton film and its Blue Book file, Project Blue Book's Edward Ruppelt on tape, and the first PURSUE records from a local police department. With the government's own video frames, and what the first independent analyst found in the modern clips (birds).

It took a letter naming 46 videos by title, a missed deadline, and a subpoena threat to get the Pentagon's UAP office to release footage it already held. Now that same office is paying a private nonprofit for records it never kept — including the papers of the Air Force scientist who publicly broke with it. Both stories point to the same fact: AARO doesn't control the record. With the footage, the timeline, and the question nobody has asked the archive's owner.

AARO's FY2025 annual report logged 319 UAP cases across air, space, and maritime domains — and exactly one was maritime: roughly 100 airborne objects and two likely-uncrewed surface vessels off Virginia's coast. No date, no resolution, no match anywhere else in the dataset. Most outlets ran it as a headline for a day. Here's what AARO's own numbers actually say about it.

An anonymous 4chan poster claiming Navy submarine and intelligence experience says a "cuboid" object disabled a fast-attack submarine, part of a wider claim about an Atlantic facility that builds and recycles UFOs. We traced the archived posts, checked the element-115 propulsion claim against real nuclear physics, and found where it breaks down — plus the two Polarity videos that brought it to a new audience.

A Department of War contracting notice shows AARO moving to buy sole-source access to a private New Mexico archive holding hundreds of thousands of UAP case files found nowhere else — including J. Allen Hynek's personal Project Blue Book papers. It's AARO working its own congressional mandate, not a new claim about what's in the files.

The fifth PURSUE tranche breaks the shrinking pattern — 41 files, 16 of them video, including six clips from a special operations AC-130J gunship over the Gulf of Oman that an intelligence report describes as four-foot "cold orbs." The FBI is now interviewing witnesses about 2026 incidents, and for the first time a file has come out of the Executive Office of the President.

Trump directed agencies to waive prior NDAs for UAP witnesses on July 21, and on August 1 the actual implementation memo surfaced. The waiver is real — but it only opens a door to AARO and the PURSUE task force, not to the public, and Rep. Burlison's own office says it's still unsure whether it covers congressional testimony.

The smallest PURSUE tranche yet is also the oldest — Project Sign records, a 1949 Los Alamos conference, a 2015 Pantex nuclear plant incident, and a 2019 encounter a 28-year military aviator called unlike anything he'd seen. The batches are shrinking and the answers aren't getting closer.

In June, sitting senators and House members went on the record about UAP secrecy at a Capitol Hill disclosure forum — two weeks after whistleblower David Grusch alleged billions per year in "slush funds" hidden from Congress. The claims are specific and on the record. The documents still haven't come.

In September 1976, two Iranian Air Force F-4 Phantoms intercepted an unidentified object over Tehran. The DIA rated the report outstanding and sent it to the White House, CIA, NSA, and Joint Chiefs. Fifty years later, no explanation has ever followed.

The Trump administration unveiled a dedicated Pentagon website for declassifying UFO records, releasing an initial tranche of approximately 160 files documenting over 400 incidents spanning 1940s Cold War sightings through recent military encounters.

Two Imperial Iranian Air Force F-4 Phantoms scrambled over Tehran in September 1976 to intercept a brilliant object. Both lost weapons, comms, and instruments at the same range — and recovered the moment they turned away. The U.S. DIA called it 'an outstanding report.' Fifty years later it has never been explained.

Trump's February 19, 2026 directive promised UFO disclosure. Two months and two registered .gov domains later, aliens.gov launched on May 28 — not as a UFO portal but as an immigration enforcement dashboard with a 'They walk among us' headline and a live ICE arrest counter. The bait, the wait, and the switcheroo, in one timeline.

The Department of War's second PURSUE release includes a 2025 first-hand narrative from a senior U.S. intelligence officer left 'virtually speechless' by a multi-hour UAP encounter at a restricted military test range — alongside PANTEX radar imagery and 116 pages of Sandia files from 1948 to 1950. The releases prove documentation. They don't prove understanding.

On the evening of October 21, 1978, 20-year-old Australian pilot Frederick Valentich vanished over Bass Strait six minutes after radioing Melbourne air traffic control about an aircraft hovering above him. His last words: 'It is hovering, and it's not an aircraft.' Then 17 seconds of metallic noise. No wreckage was ever found.

PURSUE Release 02 delivers 64 declassified files including the Syrian "instant acceleration" MQ-9 Reaper footage Congress demanded by name, and the Lake Huron 2023 shootdown. The Pentagon's own chain-of-custody admission is the actual story.

Jeremy Corbell's alleged ten-hour pyramid UFO claim over critical infrastructure during the 2024 drone flap cannot be located in any indexed source.

Fact‑checking the viral “Metal Sky Man” Utah UFO video: a CGI render, recycled image, and fake backstory exposed.

Newly released infrared footage captured by a U.S. military MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Persian Gulf in 2012 shows multiple spherical objects moving in what appears to be a coordinated formation. Official intelligence still has no public explanation.

The largest single UAP document dump since 2022. 639 of 757 cases remain unresolved. A former AARO official says investigators saw performance capabilities no known human system could replicate — directly contradicting the office's public statements.

In 2021, a declassified 1983 CIA document about astral projection and cosmic consciousness went viral. We break down what it actually says, what's real science, and what's pseudoscience dressed in physics jargon.

Pentagon videos, government reports, and the ongoing debate over what remains unidentified. Sourced from official DoD and ODNI documents.

New film cites FBI memo 6751 and religious texts to argue UFOs are interdimensional beings warning of divine conflict. We examine the claims, historical context, and why government reviews find no evidence.

Social-media claims that private aerospace companies hired armed contractors to retrieve six laptops containing highly sensitive UFO-program data. Shots fired, corporate espionage, and the violent edge of UFO secrecy.

Over two years, at least ten scientists and engineers tied to aerospace, nuclear, and UAP-adjacent work have died or vanished — drawing a White House review. We score each case honestly and ask whether there's a real pattern here, or just the human urge to find one.

Investigative report on the pattern of missing/dead scientists linked to UFO/UAP research, nuclear programs, and aerospace. Ten cases, institutional links, and White House review.

Who builds the systems that investigate UFOs? Connective journalism tracing defense contractors, university tech pipelines, and institutional capture — not conspiracy, but follow-the-money evidence.

On April 6, 1966, more than 200 students and teachers in suburban Melbourne watched a silver disc descend into a paddock for 20 minutes. Five aircraft chased it. A science teacher was threatened with being reported as 'drunk on duty.' And 60 years later, every government file that should exist about it doesn't.

From Rendlesham Forest to the USS Nimitz Tic Tac — radiation injuries, binary codes, FLIR footage, and the military witnesses who risked everything to speak. Four cases across six decades.

Socorro, Fort Lamy, Levelland, Edmonton — four landmark cases examined through aerospace-historical analysis. Landing marks, stalled engines, military witnesses, and the patterns nobody wanted to see.

An invite-only AARO workshop, a National Security Act loophole, and 21 anomalous cases out of 1,652. What the office actually does, what it can't see, and why that matters.

Trump ordered UAP files released. The White House registered alien.gov. JD Vance is personally investigating. Here's what it actually means.

The Schumer-Rounds UAP Disclosure Act passed the Senate 86-11 in 2023. Then it got gutted in conference. They refiled it in 2024. They refiled it again in 2025 with the original teeth restored. Then the Trump administration started disclosing without it.

$22M black-budget earmark. One sole bidder. Four contradictory Pentagon statements. AATIP wasn't a Pentagon program that happened to study UFOs — it was structurally designed so the Pentagon could study UFOs while denying it did.

The USS Nimitz 2004 encounter remains the benchmark case. Here's why it still matters and what it reveals about the state of UAP research.
