News Report: Historic UAP Disclosure Begins — U.S. Department of War Launches PURSUE System at war.gov/UFO

Washington, D.C. – May 8, 2026

Overview

Today marks the official beginning of large-scale UAP disclosure. The U.S. Department of War has launched the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) at the new dedicated website: https://www.war.gov/UFO/.

In direct response to President Donald J. Trump’s directive, the first tranche — Release 01 — has been posted. It contains 161 declassified files, primarily FBI archival documents related to unresolved UAP cases.

Face Value Analysis

Taking the launch and first release at literal face value:

• This is the first centralized, public government portal dedicated to systematic declassification and release of UAP-related records.
• The site explicitly states these are unresolved cases where the government cannot make a definitive determination due to insufficient data.
• The Department of War is actively encouraging private-sector analysis and public review of the materials.
• Releases will continue on a rolling basis, with new tranches expected every few weeks.

This directly aligns with the strategic transition we have mapped under the Face Value Approach: the long suppression phase is ending, and the public engagement phase has officially begun.

Key Statements from the Site

• President Donald J. Trump (Truth Social directive): “Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)…”
• Secretary of War Pete Hegseth: “The Department of War is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation — and it’s time the American people see it for themselves.”

What This Means

• For Experiencers: Official acknowledgment is now underway. The stigma barrier is cracking.
• For the Public: A new, centralized resource for reviewing primary government records.
• For Researchers & Citizens: The invitation for private-sector analysis matches exactly what AlienAlerts.com was built to support — independent, grassroots pattern mapping using the Face Value Approach.

This is the moment we have been preparing for. The infrastructure for public awareness and citizen intelligence is now more critical than ever.
