On October 23, 2026, the Department of War published the seventh batch of materials from the PURSUE program. An official statement by Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Sean Parnell confirmed that the new files have been posted on war.gov/UFO and that work on the next releases continues.
FBI-UAP-D043, FD-302, Unidentified Aerial Object Observation Report, 2026: This FBI document records a 2026 interview with two federal agents who reported seeing a black triangle UAP at a national security site. war.gov/UFO/?releaseDa…
28 documents were added to the archive. All of them are PDFs. The total number of materials on the portal has reached 478. There is no video in this release. The bulk of it consists of historical reports and recent witness testimony.
Two linked files drew particular attention: an AARO memorandum (DOW-UAP-D176) and an FBI report, FD-302 (FBI-UAP-D043). In June 2026, federal agents at a secure national security facility in the western United States observed an object. By their description, it was a matte black triangle with no reflections. The estimated wingspan was 13–15 feet, and the thickness was 1–2 feet. The object rose vertically above the ridge to 200–300 feet, hovered for about 20 seconds while remaining completely motionless, and then shot off sharply into the canyon. Its speed was compared to that of a fighter jet. There was no sound. The observers recorded no thermal signature from engines or exhaust. A third employee saw the same thing from another post through a thermal imager.
DOW-UAP-D176, Triangular UAP AARO Memorandum for Record, 2026: An official memorandum details a witness debriefing about a black triangular UAP observed in the western United States in 2026. The report notes the object rose vertically, hovered, and then descended into a
In the FBI report itself (FBI-UAP-D043), nine illustrations are attached to the text. These are reconstructions of the landscape and the object's position, created on the basis of the agents' testimony. They depict a dark triangular silhouette against the backdrop of a mountain ridge in various phases of movement: ascent, hovering, and departure into the canyon. These are not photographs or sensor frames, but visual reconstructions attached to an official document. The case remains in unresolved status.
Alongside these materials are documents from 2010 related to the investigation at a ranch in Utah, additional files from the AAWSAP program and its contractor BAASS, as well as a series of reports on sightings near Catalina Island in California from 1949, 1952, 1953, and 1955. There is also an intelligence summary from 1957 from Saudi Arabia.
The seventh release continues the line begun in the previous batches. The triangular shape, the silence, and the absence of a thermal trail have already appeared in testimony from past decades. Now these characteristics have been recorded in the testimony of federal agents in 2026, accompanied by official reconstruction illustrations, and made publicly available together with historical materials. What previously remained in classified reports and special programs now lies on a single portal. The materials have been published. They can be studied. The disclosure process continues.
