All 447 declassified documents, videos, images and recordings from the six PURSUE releases, in one searchable place
Every record the Pentagon has published under PURSUE, with its official reference number, agency, incident date and the government's own description. We keep our own copy of each file, so the documents stay downloadable here whatever happens to the original source. Filter by release, agency or file type, or search for a case, a place or a reference number.
The Pentagon UFO files are the 447 declassified records the US Department of War has published since May 2026 under PURSUE, the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters. Every one of them is listed below: 267 documents, 134 videos, 30 images and 16 audio recordings, covering incidents from the 1940s to 2025. Videos play here from DVIDS, the US military's public media archive. Documents download from our own servers, because a government archive can be reorganised or taken down at any time and these files are worth keeping. For a guided route through the collection rather than the whole thing at once, start with our guide to the PURSUE releases or the wider UAP document archive.
The Pentagon has released 447 UFO files under PURSUE across six batches between 8 May and 18 September 2026: 267 documents, 134 videos, 30 images and 16 audio recordings. They come from the Department of War, CIA, FBI, Department of Energy, Department of State, ODNI, NASA and, for the first time in Release 6, a local police force. Every record is a case the government says it could not resolve.

Government archives move. Files get reorganised, links rot, and a disclosure programme that exists by executive order can be wound up by another one. The PURSUE records are public-domain US government work, so there is nothing stopping anyone keeping them safe, and we have: every document we can mirror is stored on our own servers at files.watchthestars.co.uk and served from the Download button above. Each card still links to the original on war.gov so you can check our copy against the source. A handful of very large scans, mostly the image-heavy AAWSAP research papers, are still being copied across and currently link to war.gov only. Videos stream from DVIDS, the military's own public media archive, which is a separate system from war.gov.
The raw files are the evidence. These are our readings of them, case by case, with the documents quoted and the honest gaps marked.
Kit we've tested and reviewed in full
The strongest files here all come down to a trained observer describing exactly what they saw. A decent pair of binoculars is how you do the same: turn a strange light into an aircraft, a satellite, a planet, or something genuinely worth reporting.
Sharp, bright and quick to aim, enough to pick out navigation lights and direction of travel on a distant aircraft.
The extra reach that turns a light on the horizon into something you can actually describe.
Better contrast and edge sharpness, so points of light stay clean rather than smearing.
