Pentagon Releases Third Batch of Declassified UAP Files (June 12, 2026)

Verified government disclosures continue under the PURSUE initiative.

On June 12, 2026, the U.S. Department of War (Pentagon) released the third tranche of declassified records as part of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE). This batch contains 72 files: 53 documents, 10 images, 6 videos, and 3 NASA audio recordings from agencies including the FBI, CIA, NASA, and others. All highlighted cases remain unresolved — no definitive identification as drones, balloons, aircraft, or other conventional explanations.

Key Highlights from Release 03

  • Focus shift: More civilian and federal law enforcement iPhone-style footage alongside artistic renderings of witness accounts. All videos came from the FBI.
  • Unresolved cases: Patterns of glowing orbs with coordinated movement, shape/luminosity changes, and silent operation.
  • Public archive: All files available for download and scrutiny at the official PURSUE site.

Why This Matters for Verified Research

These are official, declassified records now open for public scrutiny. They document patterns of orb-like UAPs but offer no evidence of non-human origin. The Pentagon stresses transparency, with more releases planned.
