Release 02: 64 more declassified UAP files — and the first cockpit videos

Tranche two of the Department of War's Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE), released May 22, 2026, two weeks after Release 01. 64 records spanning 1948–2025: 51 military UAP videos (mostly unresolved DOW reports from CENTCOM and INDOPACOM), 7 NASA Apollo/Mercury audio excerpts, and historical files from the CIA, ODNI, and — for the first time — the Department of Energy.

Second tranche under PURSUE; the first dropped May 8, 2026. New agencies vs. Release 01: CIA, ODNI, and Department of Energy. War.gov has published the whole-release bundle (https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/052226/release_02/release_02_document_bundle.zip) but not the individual files yet, so per-document pdfUrl is null and sourceUrl deep-links to each record on the official release page — patch in direct file URLs via admin once war.gov uploads them.
