Every Trump UFO Drop, Tracked
The Trump administration's PURSUE program releases declassified UAP files on a rolling basis. A public poller checks war.gov several times a day, and each new drop is added here once its files are downloaded and verified.
Drop 06 - Tremonton 1952, the AAWSAP Records, and Police Video from Colorado
PURSUE Release 06 added 75 files to the archive - 59 documents and 16 recordings (15 videos and one audio file) - bringing the total to 450. War.gov published 72 of them on September 18 and added three more, transcripts of police videos, to its list on September 24. It introduced a new releasing body: Local Law Enforcement, with eight Colorado files: four videos from a commercially available cellular device's rear-facing camera, submitted to AARO by local law enforcement, and a transcript of each recording, whose audio AARO removed before release. The Department of War contributed the other 67 files. Forty-four are records of the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency program active from 2008 to 2012: a July 2008 statement of objectives, a September 2008 solicitation and original order, five contract modifications, and 37 Defense Intelligence Reference Documents (DIRDs) on topics from metallic glasses to warp drives. Five files form a cluster around a July 2, 1952 film shot near Tremonton, Utah: the film itself, two Project Blue Book files, the final Navy personnel record of the man who filmed it, and an Air Force file of 1952 flying disc records. The CSV links all five to the 1953 Navy film analysis (DOW-UAP-D098) that Release 05 published. A March 1952 presentation by Captain Edward J. Ruppelt arrived as both an audio recording and a transcript. The remaining 16 files are four mission reports and 12 unresolved UAP reports from Iraq, the Middle East, the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea. Sixty-seven of the 75 files are flagged as redacted.
Drop 05 - Bahia 1963, the FBI Triangles, and the Gulf of Oman
PURSUE Release 05 added 41 files to the archive - 22 documents, 16 videos, and 3 images - bringing the total to 375. It introduced a new releasing body: the Executive Office of the President, whose single file (EOP-UAP-D001) is a National Aeronautics and Space Council inquiry into a November 13, 1963 incident at Bahia, Brazil. Two State Department diplomatic cables from the U.S. Embassy in Rio de Janeiro, dated November 14 and 20, 1963, cover the same Bahia incident. The FBI contributed 17 records: eight FD-302 interview reports, eight digital renderings that the FBI prepared in 2026 as visual aids based on witnesses' first-hand descriptions (four of them depict triangular craft reported in 2002, 2011, and 2023), and one hand-held thermal-imaging video from a 2026 incident in the western United States. The Department of War added 19 files: historical intelligence records - a 1947 review of the Scandinavian "ghost rocket" incidents, a 1947-48 Air Materiel Command report, and a 1953 film analysis - plus unresolved UAP reports with sensor video from the Gulf of Oman (2021), the Pacific Ocean (2019), and the Middle East (2023-2025). The CIA added two records, a 1965 UFO report near Puerto Rico and undated briefing notes. Fourteen of the 41 files are partially redacted.
Drop 04 - Apollo 14, the Space Shuttle, and More Sensor Video
PURSUE Release 04 added 40 files to the archive - 23 videos, 14 documents, and 3 images - bringing the total to 334. It is led by 28 new Department of War records, mostly military infrared sensor videos and Range Fouler debriefs spanning the Eastern and Western United States, the Atlantic Ocean, the East and South China Seas, the Yellow Sea, and the Middle East. NASA added the first Apollo 14 debriefings in the disclosure (tied for the archive's top score of 72), two Apollo 17 crew medical debriefings, and three STS-80 Space Shuttle images of an unidentified object from 1996. The release also added two 1955 CIA memoranda on unconventional aircraft sightings, a 1949 Los Alamos conference record and a 2015 Pantex incident report from the Department of Energy, and one FBI correspondence file spanning 1967 to 1974.
Drop 03 - CIA History, Apollo 16, and the FBI Orb Files
PURSUE Release 03 added 72 files to the archive - 53 documents, 9 videos, and 10 images - bringing the total to 294. It introduced the first large batch of CIA records (18 files spanning Project Blue Book analysis, Cold War sightings, and foreign UFO programs), 29 FBI files including modern orb and triangle sightings and the 2022 Colorado Springs investigation, 11 NASA crew debriefings and astronaut interviews from the Gemini and Apollo programs (including the two Apollo 16 scientific debriefings and a Gordon Cooper interview, which joined the files tied for the archive's top score of 72), 12 Pentagon files, and the first Intelligence Community analysis and U.S. Government correspondence records in the disclosure.
Drop 02 - The Sensor-Video Release
PURSUE Release 02 added 64 files to the archive - 58 sensor and audio recordings and 6 documents - bringing the total to 222. It is dominated by the DOW-UAP-PR050-PR099 series of U.S. military infrared sensor videos, and also introduced seven NASA crew audio debriefings, three Department of Energy nuclear-complex files, and the first CIA and ODNI records in the disclosure.
Drop 01 - The Foundation Release
First public batch of the Trump administration's PURSUE program. 158 files (published as 161 CSV rows) spanning the FBI, Department of Defense, NASA, and State Department - including FBI Case 62-HQ-83894 (1947-1968), Apollo 12 and 17 lunar imagery, military encounter footage from the Mediterranean to the Indo-Pacific, and four decades of State Department cables.
