UAP/UFO Case Archive: PURSUE Release 01 Records

A structured index of evidence-review lanes, source controls, public media, and unresolved verification work for PURSUE Release 01.

Evidence boundary: this page summarizes public records and source-linked review work. It does not assert object origin, identity, extraordinary performance, scientific finality, classified access, or a government relationship. Machine-readable release rows, video links, hashes, confidence labels, and open conflicts are published at Evidence data.

Notebook Scope

These pages are public evidence-review notes for PURSUE Release 01. Each lane keeps source facts, media aids, controls, and unresolved questions separated. The strongest current leads are not claims of origin; they are places where source provenance, media forensics, and conventional controls can produce clearer answers.

Evidence Triage Matrix

This matrix is the fast-read layer for the case notebook. It compares what each lane can support today, what remains conflicted, and what evidence would actually move confidence.

Case lane Strongest supported statement Current conflicts Missing controls Confidence label
Release Catalog QA
Catalog/provenance lane
The release inventory, file counts, hashes, source URLs, and anomaly flags can be checked. Duplicate PDF bytes, duplicate DVIDS IDs, and report/video pairing gaps remain open. Prior-public comparisons, OCR completion, and row-level conflict resolution. Record existence high; novelty open.
Late-2025 FBI / USPER Orb Statement
FBI narrative + released image lane
The public source records reported claims and released still assets. Timing, sequence, source-device context, and Photo A1 / PR49 DVIDS-ID collision. Flight logs, raw sensor context, weather, astronomy, aircraft, drone, launch, and reentry controls. Record existence high; technical proof low.
Western U.S. Event, 2023
DOW narrative lane
The public file supports a witness-report lane, not a technical-media finding. No associated public technical data package in the reviewed evidence set. Non-sensitive timeline, airspace, weather, satellite, balloon, drone, flare, fire, and terrain checks. Reported observation medium; object interpretation low.
Greece / Aegean Maritime Cases, 2023
DOW report/video lane
Best current report-video packet for frame-level public review. Incident-date and report/video wording still need reconciliation. Native-rate frames, overlay OCR, platform/range geometry, sea state, AIS, air traffic, and weather. Record existence high; media interpretation low.
UAE / Arabian Gulf PR27, 2023
DOW video/source-pairing lane
PR27 supports acquisition, zoom, loss, and reacquisition timeline work. D23 date tension and PR26 D12/D23 pairing conflict. Range, ownship, sensor state, weather, haze, vessels, aircraft, drones, and satellites. Record existence high; pairing mixed.
2020 Maritime IR / Range Fouler Cluster
DOW cluster lane
Comparative maritime IR/FMV sensor-control study. OCR and geometry fields are incomplete for several related PDFs. Sea state, weather, vessel traffic, range activity, platform geometry, and native-rate event maps. Cluster interpretation medium; object interpretation low.
PR28 / PR29 Sensor Cases, 2024
DOW sensor-review lane
Sensor-modality and water-reflection control examples. D7/D25 and D8/D27 pairing conflicts. Native-rate all-frame review, reflection geometry, sensor polarity, background, glare, and compression checks. Record existence high; pairing low.
INDOPACOM / Army Videos, 2023-2026
DOW video lane
Public video records and derivative navigation aids support source-linked review. PR49 shares DVIDS ID 1006111 with FBI Photo A1 in the catalog. Platform context, range/airspace controls, source correction for the DVIDS collision, and native-rate review. Record existence high; cross-row linkage low where IDs collide.
FBI 62-HQ-83894 Historical File
FBI archive lane
Historical file sections are public source objects for OCR and page-order crosswalk. Redaction state, page order, serial identity, and prior-public delta are not settled. OCR, FBI Vault page matching, page hashes, and serial-level comparison. Record existence high; novelty open.
NARA / Project Blue Book-Style Records
NARA archive lane
The release creates a scan-heavy historical comparison target. Exact series identity and prior-public match remain unverified. OCR, NARA series mapping, box/folder/page crosswalk, and BLUE BOOK identifier matching. Record existence high; text extraction low until OCR.
NASA Gemini / Apollo / Skylab Materials
NASA provenance lane
NASA-cited public pointers and the 2026-05-20 follow-on/optional-expansion sprint now give transcript-family, debriefing, route-recovery, official page/MET navigation, and candidate VM source-control leads for selected Gemini/Apollo rows. The pointers and follow-on packets do not establish Release 01 row/page/frame/quote/source-byte equivalence; Apollo visual-material source-preparation history, original-film chain, and NASA/DOW analysis status remain open. Source-byte equivalence, release modification history, original-film/source-chain closure, row 142 page recovery, stable row 143 route behavior, and Skylab item 5 search outcome. Record existence high; source-route and candidate-frame leads improved; equivalence and interpretation confidence still low.
State Department Cables
State archive lane
Diplomatic records preserve reports and context; they do not validate underlying events. State Cable 5 has a 2023 extracted date while catalog title says 2003. FOIA MRN/date searches, aviation/source crosschecks, and prior-public comparison. Record existence high; underlying event validation low.

Active Case Lanes

Release Catalog QA

The control page for Release 01: row counts, file hashes, DVIDS identifiers, media coverage, and source-data anomalies.

Catalog/provenance lane

Late-2025 FBI / USPER Orb Statement

A high-interest FBI interview record with released still images, strong privacy boundaries, and no public raw sensor package.

FBI narrative + released image lane

Western U.S. Event, 2023

A striking Department of War summary, currently strongest as a witness-report and controls problem rather than a media-analysis case.

DOW narrative lane

Greece / Aegean Maritime Cases, 2023

Paired reports and DVIDS videos make the Greece/Aegean records strong candidates for frame-level review and maritime control checks.

DOW report/video lane

UAE / Arabian Gulf PR27, 2023

A longer public IR video with acquisition, zoom, loss, and reacquisition intervals, plus an unresolved report-pairing issue.

DOW video/source-pairing lane

PR28 / PR29 Sensor Cases, 2024

Two short public videos that are useful for sensor-modality discipline, report-pairing checks, and reflection controls.

DOW sensor-review lane

INDOPACOM / Army Videos, 2023-2026

Visually distinctive video-only records that need native-rate review and careful metadata reconciliation before morphology language.

DOW video lane

FBI 62-HQ-83894 Historical File

The strongest archival-delta lane: compare Release 01 FBI files against the public FBI Vault set page by page.

FBI archive lane

NASA Gemini / Apollo / Skylab Materials

Historical mission transcripts, debrief excerpts, audio metadata, and PURSUE visual-material images that must be matched to NASA originals.

NASA provenance lane

State Department Cables

Diplomatic cables and memoranda preserve reports, claims, and political context; they do not verify the underlying events by themselves.

State archive lane

Current Team Focus

  • Finish the row-level provenance matrix for all 161 release records.
  • Run page-level comparisons for FBI Vault, NARA, NASA, and State prior-public holdings.
  • Build native-rate event maps for the priority DVIDS videos before using stills as analytic evidence.
  • Publish only source-linked, uncertainty-aware findings under this /uap/ notebook.

Machine Data

Open the evidence data page for the compact public schema: case packets, 161 release rows, DVIDS URLs, derivative contact-sheet status, hashes, confidence labels, and open catalog conflicts.
