Pentagon UAP & Military Encounter Files
Eighty-three Department of War files cover U.S. military Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena encounters from 2020 through 2026. These include AARO mission packets and Mission Reports (MISREPs) from the Mediterranean, Greek airspace, the Arabian Gulf, the Indo-Pacific, Iraq, Syria, the UAE, and Yemen. Many include full-motion video from infrared (IR), electro-optical (EO), and short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensors. These are the files that score highest on the Anomalousness Index, because the encounters have the strongest sensor and witness chain - trained military operators, multi-sensor capture, and unresolved official disposition.
Files below are sorted by Anomalousness Index (highest evidentiary weight first). Each links to a full detail page with viewer, transcript (for videos), SHA-256 verification, and source link to war.gov.
