On August 7, 2026, the U.S. Department of War released its fifth batch of materials as part of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) program. This release continued the systematic disclosure of archives, which began on May 8, and confirmed the previously stated rhythm of 'every few weeks'.
According to the war.gov/UFO portal, the total number of files in the archive has now reached approximately 375. This new tranche added about 41 pieces of material, including documents, digital reconstructions, historical reports, and video recordings. An official statement from Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Sean Parnell confirmed that work on future releases is already underway, and all materials remain categorized as 'unresolved'.
Testimonies regarding triangular objects garnered particular attention. One FBI file contains a military pilot's account of a silent, equilateral triangle, approximately 500 feet in size, that reportedly passed over Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan in 2002.
According to the observer, the object moved smoothly without lights, then sharply tilted 90 degrees – a maneuver uncharacteristic of conventional aircraft. The White House specifically highlighted video DOW-UAP-PR134 (Middle East, 2025), an unresolved report documenting an object in that region.
Materials from Colorado Springs in 2023 were equally discussed. Witnesses described a dark, translucent triangle with red lights at its corners that emerged from 'pixelated' cloud cover, rapidly accelerated, and vanished silently. Also included in the package were digital reconstructions of multiple red lights observed over the Western U.S. in 2026 and a historical analysis of film footage depicting unidentified objects over Montana and Utah from the early 1950s.
Among the archived documents is a report concerning events in Brazil from 1963, detailing a sphere that allegedly crashed in Rio de Janeiro and contained a body with indecipherable inscriptions. As with previous releases, these are not confirmed findings but rather preserved testimonies and media materials.
The fifth release maintains the program's overall approach: a gradual expansion of access to raw data without sensational claims. It reinforces the emphasis on triangular shapes and maritime/land-based observations, while also revisiting historical cases.
The portal continues to invite independent researchers to analyze the findings. The disclosure process proceeds calmly, consistently, and with a strong focus on facts.
