This index identifies the Release 01 video and image material visible on the official PURSUE portal without auto-loading heavy embeds.
DOW-UAP-PR050 is a short Release 02 video, but it has a stronger visual hook than many longer clips: DVIDS says four areas of contrast transit the sensor view over water near Iran on August 26, 2022. The public record frames it as infrared-derived imagery from a U.S. military platform in the CENTCOM area, uploaded later to a classified network and released through PURSUE in 2026.
DOW-UAP-PR052 is one of Release 02’s more watchable formation clips. The official DVIDS page labels it “UAP USO Formation [CALLSIGN] (Mission)” and describes infrared-derived footage from a U.S. military platform, uploaded to a classified network in June 2024. The visible subject is not a single flash. It is a repeated four-object pattern shown through cuts, contrast filters, zooms, and degrading image quality over more than eight minutes.
DOW-UAP-PR067 may be the most clickable Release 02 video title so far: “Multiple Spherical UAP USO near Sub. [CALLSIGN] 2022/03/25 in and out of water.” The official DVIDS page gives the title, a 4:50 infrared-derived video, a March 25, 2022 incident date, and an AARO source path. The public description, though, is much narrower. It repeatedly describes areas of contrast moving through a sensor field of view while the sensor pans and zooms.
A newly public 2026 DVIDS video identifies a USAF Air National Guard F-16C shooting down a UAP over Lake Huron on February 12, 2023. The 46-second clip matters because it appears to show the moment of kinetic interaction, giving researchers a watchable official source for one of the most mysterious shootdowns from the February 2023 North American airspace incidents.
DOW-UAP-PR051 is one of the most attention-grabbing Release 02 videos because its title says “Syrian UAP instant acceleration.” The official DVIDS record is more complicated: it describes infrared-derived imagery from a U.S. military platform in the CENTCOM area, an area of contrast that rapidly leaves the frame when the sensor stops tracking, and a longer edited examination video that was digitally altered before it reached the classified network.
The official video page describes one minute and five seconds of footage captured through multiple sensor modalities aboard a U.S. military platform. The companion mission report is identified as DOW-UAP-D7, which reportedly described a diamond-shaped object moving at about 434 knots and visible only through SWIR.
DOW-UAP-PR34 is an official 2:57 infrared video. DVIDS says the accompanying DOW-UAP-D33 mission report described a UAP flying near the ocean surface and making multiple 90-degree turns at roughly 80 miles per hour.
DOW-UAP-PR46 is a nine-second official infrared video. DVIDS says INDOPACOM submitted it to AARO and that the reporter provided no oral or written description of the observation.
DOW-UAP-PR48 is a 1:39 official infrared video. DVIDS says INDOPACOM submitted it to AARO and that the reporter provided no oral or written description of the observation.
The FLIR1 video is an official 76-second infrared recording captured on November 14, 2004, by a US Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet from the USS Nimitz carrier strike group using the Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR pod. It documents an oblong anomaly lacking control surfaces or thermal exhaust plumes that executes high-velocity leftward acceleration off sensor lock.
The GIMBAL video is an official 34-second US Navy infrared recording captured in January 2015 off the US East Coast by an F/A-18F Super Hornet. It shows an anomalous craft with a distinct thermal aura that rotates against high-altitude headwinds while flying in tandem with a broader tracked fleet, corroborated by pilot audio.
The GOFAST video is an official 34-second recording captured in early 2015 by a Navy strike fighter off the Florida coast. It documents a small, spherical object tracking across the ocean surface at high relative angular rate, evaluated by AARO and scientific teams as a parallax-enhanced low-altitude aerial encounter.
DOW-UAP-PR086 is an official 34-second military infrared recording released in PURSUE Release 02 and showcased in the War.gov home carousel. It captures an unresolved object tracking steadily through Atlantic coastal airspace in December 2019, logged by USNORTHCOM defense surveillance platforms.
DOW-UAP-PR018 is an official 42-second military video cleared under PURSUE Release 03. It documents a high-altitude anomalous object tracked by US European Command assets over allied airspace in March 2024, exhibiting steady non-ballistic transit across sensor quadrants.
DOW-UAP-PR094 is an official 58-second multi-spectral tracking video released in PURSUE Release 04. It captures an unresolved object tracked by a US Navy carrier strike group in the Western Pacific in May 2024, maintaining position relative to naval combatants before executing high-rate ascent.
ODNI-UAP-D001 appears to describe a modern senior-intelligence-officer orb encounter with aircraft and sensor context.
DOW-UAP-D017 appears to be the historical backbone of Release 02: a large Sandia green-fireballs packet that connects old luminous reports to renewed 2026 UFO-file interest.
CIA-UAP-D001 appears to preserve a green circular object report inside a 1973 intelligence report about a Soviet weapons testing environment.
DOE-UAP-D001 is a high-interest Release 02 image lead because it appears to show a Pantex surveillance image and Sandia-enhanced object images, but the public context is incomplete.
The verified scope of the May 8 release starts with what the Department of War says PURSUE is, why the records matter, and why unresolved does not mean explained or extraordinary.
The most important sentence in the release is the caveat: unresolved means the government cannot make a definitive determination from the available record.
The USPER statement is one of the most attention-grabbing Release 01 records because it describes repeated orb/light observations during a redacted search operation.
DOW-UAP-D20 is a strong first record because it has a clear mission timeline, aircraft context, equipment details, and an explicit UAP section.
DOW-UAP-D18 is useful because it is restrained: it records a possible UAP/UAV observation without dramatic conclusions.
NASA-UAP-D008 provides the official audio and transcript of the Apollo 12 medical debriefing regarding translunar visual phenomena and light flashes.
DOE-UAP-D002 documents Los Alamos scientist James Tuck evaluating atmospheric plasma physics and ball lightning models for New Mexico UAP sightings.
DOE-UAP-D003 records a 1986 invitation and correspondence between Los Alamos researchers and the Pajarito Astronomers regarding anomalous aerial tracking.

The July 26, 2023 House Oversight UAP Hearing is the official congressional record of sworn testimony by David Grusch, David Fravor, and Ryan Graves on military UAP encounters and covert programs.
PURSUE Release 06 releases the long-anticipated AAWSAP defense intelligence reference documents and scientific advisory panel assessments.
PURSUE Release 05 declassifies historical Department of Energy facility security incident reports and retrospective AARO investigative case logs.
PURSUE Release 04 documents federal responses to congressional oversight inquiries, including cross-service radar track logs and incident debriefs.
PURSUE Release 03 expands the federal repository with declassified FBI field reports on orb encounters and high-altitude NASA atmospheric research telemetry.
PURSUE Release 02 is now official. The Department of War says the second tranche of declassified and historical UAP files was published on May 22, 2026, remains housed at WAR.GOV/UFO, and is part of the rolling Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters.
PURSUE Release 01 is the first Department of War tranche in the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters. The May 8 release opened a dedicated war.gov/UFO source path for unresolved UAP records, images, videos, and historical documents connected to the February 19, 2026 Trump directive.
Former UAP Task Force Director Jay Stratton appeared on CNN with Jake Tapper following the release of his memoir Out of the Shadows. Stratton publicly connects his personal experiences to the declassified ODNI-UAP-D001 orb dossier, alleges defense contractors attempted to return non-human materials, and asserts U.S. presidents remain compartmentalized from crash retrieval programs.
PURSUE Release 06 declassified Defense Intelligence Reference Documents from the AAWSAP program. Here is what the technical studies show and what they leave unproven.
The 2026 UFO files include a real visual record, but it is not one neat photo album. This page tracks the official image rows, NASA lunar-image material, Pantex document imagery, and Release 02 video stills by release, agency, record ID, and source status.
The new 2026 video gives the Lake Huron shootdown a watchable official source for the first time. It does not identify the object, but it changes the case from a remembered 2023 headline into a record readers can inspect.
Release 02 is no longer a watch item. The Department of War has published the second PURSUE tranche, listed official document and video downloads, and said a third release is already being prepared.
Release 02 is too large to read as one headline. The smarter first pass is to separate high-interest leads from verified source facts, then decide which records deserve full analysis pages.
The orb-encounter lead is drawing attention because it has three ingredients readers notice immediately: a high-status witness description, a simple object label, and an apparent Release 02 source path.
Sandia and “green fireballs” are the kind of Release 02 terms that can attract serious readers because they connect official records, nuclear-era history, and a familiar UFO research phrase.
Lake Huron video interest is powerful because it connects Release 02 to a case the public already remembers: the February 2023 shootdown period over North America.
Start with what the official record says, then separate what it shows from what it does not prove.
The Release 01 source chain starts with war.gov/UFO, the May 8 announcement, and the individual PDFs linked from the official release path.
Start with video records that have official metadata and clear analytical questions, not the loudest social-media claims.
