DECLASSIFIED
DROP #003

Released June 12, 2026·72 documents

Release 03: 72 declassified UAP files — the FBI's Colorado Springs case, CIA Cold-War cables, and NASA's Gemini debriefs

Tranche three of the Department of War's Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE), released June 12, 2026. 72 records spanning 1948–2026: the first FBI files (the Colorado Springs and Northeastern "orb" case packages, plus historical field-office investigations), 18 CIA Cold-War documents (including Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14 and the U-2/OXCART history), 1948–49 Army and Navy flying-disc studies, NASA's Gemini 4/5/7/9 crew debriefs and Apollo 16 audio, and first-time entries from the Intelligence Community Agency and the U.S. Government. 53 PDFs, 10 digital renderings, 6 videos, and 3 audio excerpts.

Third tranche under PURSUE; the first dropped May 8, 2026 and the second May 22, 2026. New agencies vs. Release 02: FBI, Intelligence Community Agency, and U.S. Government (Release 02's DOE/ODNI are absent this tranche). War.gov has published the whole-release bundles (Release 03 documents ~826MB and videos ~4.6GB) 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.
