PURSUE Release 01 UAP Evidence-Control Requests
Status page for public records requests about War.gov/Department of War PURSUE Release 01, DVIDS video metadata, source provenance, and archive crosswalks. The page tracks provenance, routing, receipts, and claim boundaries for the UAP/UFO document archive.
NASA HQ FOIA responded on 2026-05-19 with public Gemini/Apollo source pointers for items 1-4 and said it will search item 5 concerning Skylab. DVIDS submitter routing, USCENTCOM substantive processing, NARA, NASA Skylab/source-lineage follow-through, and State remain awaiting agency follow-through. No records production closure or claim upgrade is recorded.

SubmittedThirteen requests are logged, plus DVIDS submitter-routing and NASA clarification replies.
RepliedDVIDS/DMA, USCENTCOM, NARA, NASA History, and NASA HQ FOIA have acknowledged, routed, issued an interim letter, requested clarification, or supplied public source pointers.
Awaiting actionDVIDS submitter routing, USCENTCOM substantive processing, NARA, NASA Skylab/source-lineage follow-through, and State still need agency follow-through.
HeldConditional or blocked routes require a documented trigger.
Real Source Artifacts
These are published Release 01 source artifacts and derivative contact sheets from the evidence notebook, not decorative charts.





Start Here
The page remains in monitoring mode after the 2026-05-19 NASA FOIA response. DVIDS has been asked to route metadata-match questions to submitters, NASA-cited Gemini/Apollo public links are now source leads, and Skylab item 5 remains open.
Watch DVIDS routing
Wait for submitter response, referral, correction route, or records-control guidance after the 2026-05-13 reply.
Review NASA source leads
Map the NASA-cited Gemini/Apollo links to exact rows/items while waiting for the Skylab item 5 search result and any fee assessment.
Do not resend the White House packet
The seven White House letters are logged as sent. A repeat submission would weaken the paper trail.
Route public corrections cleanly
Use the public records-issues ledger for row, hash, source URL, and claim-boundary corrections instead of mixing corrections into outreach requests.
Use the activity board for live work
The agent board shows who is watching which lane, what changed, and what remains blocked.
Keep account details private
DVIDS account validation and credential details are deliberately excluded from public pages.

DVIDS/DWIA Public Video Metadata and Rendition Lineage
Monitor the coordinated DWIA/DVIDS customer-service thread and any submitter/originating-owner referral now. Do not open parallel DVIDS Media Relations, Video Support, or Web Support follow-ups unless DVIDS/DWIA refers the request, asks for a narrower packet, or a documented aging/referral trigger appears.
USCENTCOM FOIA Source-Control and Operational-Records Request
Monitor the existing USCENTCOM FOIA case/thread. Do not open duplicate USCENTCOM, component-command, OSW/JS-AARO, or DOW/IQA routes unless an official response, referral, denial, correction owner, or documented aging trigger appears.
NARA RG 615 / UAP Reference Mapping Inquiry
Send as one NARA reference inquiry, not a media or validation request.
NASA History Source-Lineage Reference Inquiry
Do not extend the History Office thread unless they add public pointers. Monitor NASA HQ FOIA request 26-00815-F-HQ for the Skylab search result, fee assessment, referral, no-records response, or records response.
State Department FOIA Release-History and Cable-Provenance Request
Submit through State PAL or FOIARequest@state.gov as a formal Department of State FOIA request.
What This Page Does Not Claim
The requests ask for records, source history, release metadata, and crosswalks. They do not ask agencies to endorse object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, anomalous physics, sensor truth, or non-human technology.
| Lane | Status | Blocked claim boundary |
|---|---|---|
| PR27 / D23 | Claims held | The request is ready only as native-context/source-control language; speed, range, object identity, and PR26/D12/D23 relationship claims remain blocked. |
| PR28 / PR29 | Claims held | The request is ready only if it asks agencies to resolve D7/D25 and D8/D27; PR28 speed/shape and PR29 reflection conclusions remain blocked. |
| 2020 maritime IR / range-fouler cluster | Claims held | The comparative request is ready, but individual-object interpretations and kinematic conclusions remain blocked on native context and geometry. |
| FBI-USPER and Western US witness records | Claims held | A source-context request is ready; proximity, heat, size, independence, and technical-media claims remain blocked until logs and sensor inventories are released. |
| FBI 62-HQ-83894 and NARA incident summaries | Novelty claims held | The archive request language remains usable only if a trigger appears. Current bounded FBI Vault review is complete with no send trigger; claims of new, less-redacted, missing, or more complete content remain blocked unless an agency response or future exhaustive comparison proves them. |
Submitted Request Letters
These seven letters are documented as owner-reported White House submissions. They ask for auditability, source integrity, or reproducible evidence context; they are not claims that any case is solved.
| Request | Status | Ask | Why worthwhile |
|---|---|---|---|
| PURSUE Release 01 Source Integrity and Catalog Corrections | Owner-reported sent to the White House on 2026-05-11 | Ask for a public evidence-control addendum: stable machine-readable provenance, corrected source conflicts, and row-level hashes/relationships. | This request does not depend on interpreting any UAP event. It asks the government to make its public release auditable. |
| Greece/Aegean D33/PR34 and D35/PR35 Native Context | Owner-reported sent to the White House on 2026-05-11 | Ask for releasable native-rate media, sensor/platform context, overlays, timebase, and environmental controls for the most source-rich comparison packet. | The public packet has official reports, DVIDS videos, and source-described display-state changes, but it cannot support speed, range, turn geometry, altitude, identity, or origin conclusions without context. |
| NASA, State, FBI and NARA Provenance Crosswalks | Owner-reported sent to the White House on 2026-05-11 | Ask for page/frame/source crosswalks, original NASA frame IDs, State cable release-history corrections, and FBI/NARA mapping without claiming novelty. | Archive requests are worthwhile when they ask for reproducible provenance, not confirmation of a conclusion. |
| D23/PR27 UAE-Arabian Gulf Native Context | Owner-reported sent to the White House on 2026-05-11 | Ask for D23/PR27 line mapping, PR26/D12/D23 reconciliation, and native PR27 sensor/platform/environment context. | The lane has a long official video and mission-report text; the request is worthwhile if it asks agencies to fix the relationship map before anyone interprets speed, range, or identity. |
| PR28/PR29 Sensor-Modality and Reflection Controls | Owner-reported sent to the White House on 2026-05-11 | Ask for authoritative PR28 and PR29 report pairings, native media, sensor-mode history, and PR29 water-reflection controls. | The cases are valuable precisely because the public record preserves sensor-modality and reflection questions that cannot be resolved from the current release. |
| 2020 Maritime IR and Range-Fouler Comparative Controls | Owner-reported sent to the White House on 2026-05-11 | Ask for a normalized, OCR-complete, native-context packet across the 2020 maritime IR/range-fouler cluster. | The corpus is useful for repeated maritime sensor and environmental controls, not as one solved incident or a batch of extraordinary claims. |
| FBI-USPER and Western US Witness Source Context | Owner-reported sent to the White House on 2026-05-11 | Ask for non-sensitive logs, sensor inventories, witness chronology, and control checks for the FBI-USPER and Western US witness lanes. | These are high-interest witness records, but the worthwhile request is for corroborating records and source context rather than proof language. |
PURSUE Release 01 Source Integrity and Catalog Corrections
Ask for a public evidence-control addendum: stable machine-readable provenance, corrected source conflicts, and row-level hashes/relationships.
Open submitted letter text
Dear Mr. President, I am asking for a public evidence-control addendum for PURSUE Release 01. This is not a request for an endorsement of any interpretation. It is a request to make the public release auditable. Release 01 is important because it gives citizens official records, public DVIDS media, FBI/NASA/NARA/State material, and a machine-readable CSV. The current public record also contains source-control conflicts that independent reviewers cannot resolve from the released files alone. This request treats catalog conflicts as audit issues, not as evidence of bad faith or hidden conclusions. Please direct the responsible agencies to publish a corrected, machine-readable addendum for Release 01 that includes, for every row, the stable record ID, source URL, final URL, public prior-version URL where known, file size, SHA-256 hash, known duplicate-byte group ID, agency, record type, DVIDS ID where applicable, report/video pairing fields, conflict flags, redaction status meaning, and last-reviewed timestamp. Please also direct the agencies to correct or explain these specific conflicts: - State rows 29 and 30: different catalog titles and dates currently resolve to identical PDF bytes and the same SHA-256 hash. - PR26 / D12 / D23 / PR27: Release 01 pairs D23 to both PR26 and PR27, while official PR26 DVIDS prose names DoW-UAP-D12 and describes a different still-image lane. - PR28 and PR29: DVIDS names D7 and D8, while local content review has identified D25 and D27 candidate matches; PR29 also carries United Arab Emirates / Gulf of Oman and command-source tension. - PR38: one CSV field says resolved as aircraft while source title fields say unresolved. - PR49 and FBI Photo A1: both carry DVIDS ID 1006111 even though one is an Army video and the other is an FBI image. - State Cable 5: extracted cable text identifies MRN 23 MEXICO 2544 dated September 16, 2023 while catalog fields indicate 2003. - NASA VM1-VM6: release images need original frame IDs, unmodified source-frame links, release image modification/crop/annotation history, adjacent-frame lists, and any released analysis status. The public deserves a release that can be checked without guesswork. A careful source-integrity addendum would help serious reviewers separate official records from catalog errors, source-reported observations from analysis, and open questions from unsupported speculation. Respectfully,
Greece/Aegean D33/PR34 and D35/PR35 Native Context
Ask for releasable native-rate media, sensor/platform context, overlays, timebase, and environmental controls for the most source-rich comparison packet.
Open submitted letter text
Dear Mr. President, I am asking for a focused, releasable evidence-context packet for the Greece/Aegean PURSUE Release 01 records D33/PR34 and D35/PR35. These records are the most source-rich current public comparison packet for source-control review because they include official mission reports, DVIDS videos, and visible source-described display-state changes. That does not make them proof of object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, or non-human technology. It means they are a useful public test case for disciplined review. The public record should not be asked to carry more than it can prove. The requested context is what would test the report language. Please direct the responsible agencies to release or certify the maximum lawful, non-sensitive context for these two events: - Native or least-compressed PR34 and PR35 video, including original container, codec, frame rate, timecode, dropped-frame metadata, and edit/excerpt history. - Sensor-display metadata: mode, polarity, FOV, zoom, gain/level, contrast settings, reticle/tracker state, stabilization state, overlay history, and time synchronization source. - Platform context where releasable: position, altitude, heading, speed, attitude, gimbal/sensor angles, slant range or range estimate if measured, and any object-altitude assumption used in the report. - Environmental controls for the relevant Aegean windows: weather, sea state, clouds, AIS/vessel traffic, air traffic, drone/balloon/flare activity, satellite/reentry checks, and sun/moon geometry. - Report/video chronology: a table tying report fields to exact video timestamps and explaining any DVIDS placeholder dates or release-index differences. The current public record preserves reported observations, but public reviewers cannot determine whether source-reported turns, estimated speed, low-over-water description, or loss-of-track wording survive platform motion, sensor panning, background transition, compression, and environmental controls. This request asks for the evidence needed to make the case stronger or more ordinary. Either outcome would improve public trust. Respectfully,
NASA, State, FBI and NARA Provenance Crosswalks
Ask for page/frame/source crosswalks, original NASA frame IDs, State cable release-history corrections, and FBI/NARA mapping without claiming novelty.
Open submitted letter text
Dear Mr. President, I am asking for a public archive-provenance addendum for the FBI, NARA, NASA, and State Department materials in PURSUE Release 01. This request is not asking the agencies to validate an anomaly conclusion. It asks them to publish the source crosswalks needed to understand what Release 01 adds to the public record and how each historical item relates to prior public holdings. Please direct the responsible agencies to publish: - FBI 62-HQ-83894 crosswalks: Release 01 row, section, serial, page, FBI Vault part/page, redaction-state difference, Release-01-only, prior-public-only, reordered, duplicate, or differently redacted page inventory where releasable, and declassification authority/date where releasable. - NARA incident-summary crosswalks: record group, series, container, finding-aid reference used for the mapping, microfilm roll/frame or NAID mapping, and whether the scans duplicate Project BLUE BOOK case files, administrative files, OSI material, or another accession. - NASA Gemini/Apollo/Skylab transcript and audio lineage: source transcript/debrief title, page, mission-elapsed-time crosswalks, adjacent transcript context, and Gemini VII audio/caption source lineage. - NASA image/frame provenance: original frame IDs, unmodified source-frame URLs or scans, adjacent-frame lists, release image crop/annotation/modification history, original-film scan notation, and any released NASA/DOW analysis status for VM1-VM6. Apollo 12 VM2-VM5 now have candidate source-frame matches in AS12-46-6846 through AS12-46-6849; that supports source-lineage review, not visual interpretation. - State Department cable corrections and release-history data: MRN/date/subject/post crosswalks for the five cables, State rows 29/30 duplicate-byte or intended-asset explanation, correction of Cable 5 date metadata, and any prior-public FOIA/NARA copy references. The most important public distinction is simple: an official release is not the same thing as official validation, and a republished archival document is not automatically new or less redacted until it is compared page by page. Publishing these crosswalks would let the public verify what is new, what is repackaged, what is corrected, and what remains unknown. Respectfully,
D23/PR27 UAE-Arabian Gulf Native Context
Ask for D23/PR27 line mapping, PR26/D12/D23 reconciliation, and native PR27 sensor/platform/environment context.
Open submitted letter text
Dear Mr. President, I am asking for a non-sensitive native-context and source-control packet for the PURSUE Release 01 D23/PR27 United Arab Emirates / Arabian Gulf records. This is not a request to validate any object identity, origin, speed, range, or extraordinary performance. It is a request to make the public record testable. PR27 is a long official DVIDS infrared video, and D23 is the public mission-report lane, but the current release does not tell reviewers how the report lines and videos fit together. Please direct the responsible agencies to release or certify: - Whether PR27 maps to D23 UAP line 1, D23 UAP line 2, both lines, or only the broader D23 mission. - A correction or explanation for the D23 catalog date versus the internal D23 mission-date fields. - A correction or explanation for the PR26 / D12 / D23 conflict, including whether PR26 should reference DoW-UAP-D12, DoW-UAP-D23, both, or neither. - The least-compressed PR27 video available for public release, with original container, codec, frame rate, timecode, dropped-frame metadata, edit/excerpt history, and generation history for the public DVIDS rendition. - Sensor-display metadata: mode, polarity, FOV, zoom, gain/level, contrast settings, reticle/tracker state, stabilization state, overlay history, and time synchronization source. - Platform context where releasable: position, altitude, heading, speed, attitude, gimbal/sensor angles, line-of-sight or range assumptions, and any object-altitude assumptions used in the report. - Environmental and traffic controls for the relevant UTC windows: weather, haze, sea state, AIS/vessel traffic, air traffic, drone/balloon activity, satellite/reentry checks, fireball checks, and any range or operational deconfliction records that can be lawfully released. The current public video is useful, but it cannot carry measured speed, range, altitude, or identity claims without the missing source controls. Publishing this packet would let reviewers determine whether the case becomes stronger, more ordinary, or simply better bounded. Respectfully,
PR28/PR29 Sensor-Modality and Reflection Controls
Ask for authoritative PR28 and PR29 report pairings, native media, sensor-mode history, and PR29 water-reflection controls.
Open submitted letter text
Dear Mr. President, I am asking for a public source-control and sensor-context packet for PURSUE Release 01 PR28 and PR29. These two records are worthwhile because they preserve exactly the kinds of controls public reviewers need: sensor-modality switching in PR28 and a possible water-reflection alternative in PR29. They are not currently proof of object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, or non-human technology. Please direct the responsible agencies to first publish the authoritative report/video pairings: - For PR28, whether the accompanying report is DoW-UAP-D7, DoW-UAP-D25, both, or neither. - For PR29, whether the accompanying report is DoW-UAP-D8, DoW-UAP-D27, both, or neither. - For both records, normalized incident date, location, command/source, DVIDS date, and report-date fields. Please also release or certify the maximum lawful, non-sensitive technical context: - Native or least-compressed PR28 and PR29 videos, original frame rate, timecode, edit/excerpt history, and public-rendition generation history. - Sensor modality sequence, SWIR/EO/visible calibration, polarity, FOV, zoom, gain/level, contrast settings, tracker/reticle state, stabilization state, overlay history, and mode-registration details. - Platform context where releasable: position, altitude, heading, speed, attitude, gimbal/sensor angles, line of sight, range assumptions, and any object-altitude assumptions. - For PR29 specifically, sea state, sun/moon geometry, viewing angle, maritime traffic, surface-vessel context, water-background controls, and the source basis for or against the water-reflection alternative. The public record should not resolve these cases by assertion. It should expose enough source control for independent reviewers to test the report language, the sensor-mode claims, and the reflection alternative. Respectfully,
2020 Maritime IR and Range-Fouler Comparative Controls
Ask for a normalized, OCR-complete, native-context packet across the 2020 maritime IR/range-fouler cluster.
Open submitted letter text
Dear Mr. President, I am asking for a comparative evidence-control packet for the 2020 maritime infrared and range-fouler records in PURSUE Release 01. This is not a request to treat the 2020 records as one solved incident or as a batch of extraordinary claims. It is a request for a normalized control package across repeated maritime IR/FMV records, where water background, clouds, platform motion, range-fouler geometry, sensor settings, and possible conventional explanations matter. Please direct the responsible agencies to publish a normalized, releasable packet for D38/PR36, D44, D56, D57, D58, D60, D61, D62, D63, D65, and the related 2020 DVIDS video records where applicable. For each event, please include: - Corrected row, date, location, report/video pairing, DVIDS ID, source URL, final URL, file size, and SHA-256 fields. - OCR-complete report text where the current public files are scan-only or empty in text extraction. - Native or least-compressed video where it exists, with original frame rate, timecode, public-rendition history, and edit/excerpt history. - Sensor mode, FOV, zoom, gain/level, contrast, polarity, reticle/tracker state, stabilization state, overlay history, and time synchronization. - Platform position, altitude, heading, speed, attitude, gimbal/sensor angles, slant range, ground range, object-altitude assumptions, and any range-fouler geometry used in the records where releasable. - Weather, cloud, haze, sea state, AIS/vessel traffic, aviation traffic, drone/balloon/range activity, satellite/reentry, fireball, and reflection controls. The public release now allows reviewers to identify the right records and public videos, but it does not provide enough normalized context for kinematic conclusions. A comparative evidence-control packet would improve public trust whether the individual records become more compelling, more ordinary, or more clearly unresolved because of missing data. Respectfully,
FBI-USPER and Western US Witness Source Context
Ask for non-sensitive logs, sensor inventories, witness chronology, and control checks for the FBI-USPER and Western US witness lanes.
Open submitted letter text
Dear Mr. President, I am asking for a narrow, non-sensitive source-context packet for the FBI-USPER late-2025 record and the Western US 2023 witness-summary record in PURSUE Release 01. This is not a request to validate witness conclusions, object identity, proximity, heat, size, speed, or extraordinary performance. These records are worthwhile because they point to possible logs, sensor inventories, interview chronology, and control checks that the public cannot see in the released PDFs. For the FBI-USPER late-2025 record, please direct the responsible agencies to publish or certify, where lawful: - The interview serial chain, related interview or attachment inventory, and whether any pilot, helicopter, LP/OP, JOC, FLIR, NVG, radio, or dispatch records exist. - A non-sensitive timeline for the reported helicopter search, LP/OP reports, airspace deconfliction, refuel timeline, and five military aircraft noted in the source record. - Sensor inventory and calibration context for FLIR/NVG observations, including whether raw imagery exists and whether the reported sightings were inside or outside the recorded camera angle. - Weather, moon, visibility, astronomical, satellite, launch/reentry, drone, flare, pyrotechnic, range-activity, and debris/ground-search controls. For the Western US 2023 record, please direct the responsible agencies to publish or certify: - The exact or safely generalized two-day window, witness-interview chronology, and what records support the "independently" reported language. - The source data and method behind any later distance or size estimates. - An inventory of checked or available patrol logs, radio traffic, dispatch records, vehicle-location records, restricted-zone access records, fixed cameras, body or vehicle cameras, NVG model/settings, weather, wind, moon/astronomy, drone/balloon/kite/aircraft controls, satellite/reentry/fireball checks, and any technical data that exists outside the released slide deck. - If no technical records exist beyond the released summaries, a clear public statement saying so. The public can take witness records seriously without overstating them. The right request is for the record trail that would let reviewers separate independent observation, cross-cueing, ordinary controls, missing media, and still-open questions. Respectfully,

Review Safeguards
Final chief-of-staff hardening completed on 2026-05-11, with response handling updated on 2026-05-19. The five next-outreach requests were rewritten or rechecked against official routing guidance so they ask for existing records, reference pointers, metadata correction, release history, or source provenance only. DVIDS, NASA, and USCENTCOM response handling stays procedural and does not ask any agency to validate object identity, origin, speed, performance, or image interpretation.
| Check | Result | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Routing fit | Pass | Each request uses the office that publicly owns the task: DVIDS for public DVIDS assets, USCENTCOM for component FOIA records, NARA for reference mapping, NASA History for historical-source pointers, and State IAP for State release-history records. NASA History has now routed the item-level NASA documentation question toward FOIA. |
| FOIA format | Pass | CENTCOM and State drafts now ask for existing records, include fee/segregability/referral language, and avoid asking agencies to create analysis or answer interpretive questions. |
| Reference format | Pass | NARA and NASA drafts are framed as reference/source-lineage requests with exact record families and explicit routing fallback if a formal records search is required. NASA History has activated that fallback for item-level documentation. |
| Success posture | Pass | DVIDS and CENTCOM are prioritized first because they are the least duplicative of the White House letters and most likely to generate routing, correction, or records-tracking value. |
| Claim discipline | Pass | No draft asks for validation of object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, anomalous physics, non-human technology, measured kinematics, agency endorsement, or archive novelty. |
First-Wave Source Provenance Requests
After the White House submissions, five narrow records/reference requests were sent or submitted. They ask for public media metadata, FOIA source-control records, archive pointers, NASA source-lineage paths, and State cable release history. DVIDS and NASA both produced 2026-05-13 clarification/routing actions, and both have been answered without changing any evidence claim.
| Target | Status | Route | Why worthwhile |
|---|---|---|---|
| DVIDS/DWIA Public Video Metadata and Rendition Lineage | DVIDS/DMA replied on 2026-05-13 with public URL derivation guidance and said metadata-match questions must be routed to submitters; submitter-routing reply sent the same day for PR26, PR27, PR28, PR29, and PR49/FBI Photo A1; awaiting submitter response, referral, correction route, or records-control guidance | Monitor the coordinated DWIA/DVIDS customer-service thread and any submitter/originating-owner referral now. Do not open parallel DVIDS Media Relations, Video Support, or Web Support follow-ups unless DVIDS/DWIA refers the request, asks for a narrower packet, or a documented aging/referral trigger appears. | DVIDS owns the public asset pages, video IDs, VIRINs, DOD filenames, public MP4 renditions, captions, thumbnails, embeds, and update timestamps. This request asks about public media provenance only. |
| USCENTCOM FOIA Source-Control and Operational-Records Request | USCENTCOM FOIA delivered an interim letter for case #26-0189 by DOD SAFE on 2026-05-15; letter acknowledges receipt on 2026-05-11 and states the request is #1462 in the USCENTCOM queue; awaiting substantive processing, referral, fee decision, no-records response, or records | Monitor the existing USCENTCOM FOIA case/thread. Do not open duplicate USCENTCOM, component-command, OSW/JS-AARO, or DOW/IQA routes unless an official response, referral, denial, correction owner, or documented aging trigger appears. | The most source-rich operational lanes are records questions: report/video pairing, release-control fields, corrected public metadata, releasable sensor/platform/environment controls, and OCR/source text. |
| NARA RG 615 / UAP Reference Mapping Inquiry | Acknowledged by NARA on 2026-05-11; routed to appropriate office; awaiting response | Send as one NARA reference inquiry, not a media or validation request. | NARA publicly identifies RG 615 and other UAP-related holdings. Archivist pointers can clarify NAIDs, record groups, series, containers, finding aids, and whether Release 01 incident summaries duplicate known holdings. |
| NASA History Source-Lineage Reference Inquiry | NASA History replied on 2026-05-11 that item-level NASA documentation would need a FOIA request; NASA HQ FOIA assigned request 26-00815-F-HQ on 2026-05-13, received the narrowed clarification, and responded on 2026-05-19 with public Gemini/Apollo source pointers for items 1-4 while keeping the Skylab item 5 search open | Do not extend the History Office thread unless they add public pointers. Monitor NASA HQ FOIA request 26-00815-F-HQ for the Skylab search result, fee assessment, referral, no-records response, or records response. | The NASA lane is source provenance: public transcript/image source pointers now improve citation routing for Gemini/Apollo items, while Skylab remains an open FOIA search. |
| State Department FOIA Release-History and Cable-Provenance Request | Sent by Gmail to State FOIARequest@state.gov on 2026-05-11; awaiting response | Submit through State PAL or FOIARequest@state.gov as a formal Department of State FOIA request. | The State lane has concrete MRN/date/post/subject and release-history questions, including duplicate-byte rows and a date conflict. State FOIA is the correct route for Department of State records. |
DVIDS/DWIA Public Video Metadata and Rendition Lineage
Route: Monitor the coordinated DWIA/DVIDS customer-service thread and any submitter/originating-owner referral now. Do not open parallel DVIDS Media Relations, Video Support, or Web Support follow-ups unless DVIDS/DWIA refers the request, asks for a narrower packet, or a documented aging/referral trigger appears.
Contact: Original form: https://www.dvidshub.net/mediarequest; current coordinated DWIA/DVIDS customer-service route is listed on the official DVIDS contact page.
Why worthwhile: DVIDS owns the public asset pages, video IDs, VIRINs, DOD filenames, public MP4 renditions, captions, thumbnails, embeds, and update timestamps. This request asks about public media provenance only.
Caveat: Do not ask DVIDS to validate object identity, origin, speed, range, altitude, performance, sensor truth, or case conclusions. Public MP4s are public renditions, not certified native sensor files.
Draft status: The older first-wave draft is retained as prior-draft history. The operative public status is the 2026-05-13 submitter-routing reply recorded in `reports/investigation/outreach/dvids_helpdesk_17422_submitter_routing_reply_2026-05-13.txt`, after the sent supplemental packet recorded in `reports/investigation/outreach/dvids_dwia_metadata_followup_sent_2026-05-11.md`.
Open prior outreach draft
Subject: Release 01 DVIDS public video metadata and rendition-lineage confirmation Suggested route: DVIDS Press Inquiry / Media Request. Request type: Content or General Query. Unit context: All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office. I am reviewing the public PURSUE Release 01 DVIDS video assets for source and media-provenance accuracy. This request concerns source provenance and public-record auditability; it does not ask for validation of object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, speed, range, altitude, sensor performance, or non-human technology. Please provide the public DVIDS metadata or routing guidance needed to cite these assets accurately. Primary correction/routing items: - PR26 / DVIDS 1006063: DVIDS prose references DoW-UAP-D12 while Release 01 rows link PR26 to DoW-UAP-D23. - PR27 / DVIDS 1006067: Release 01 links PR27 to DoW-UAP-D23, but D23 appears to include multiple UAP lines and duplicate row treatment. - PR28 / DVIDS 1006073: DVIDS prose references DoW-UAP-D7; local source review identified DoW-UAP-D25 as a stronger content match for the January 2024 Greece/SWIR description. - PR29 / DVIDS 1006074: DVIDS prose references DoW-UAP-D8 and NORTHCOM, while local source review identified DoW-UAP-D27 as a stronger content match for the June 2024 Gulf of Oman/water-reflection description. - PR49 / DVIDS 1006111 and the FBI Photo A1 row in Release 01 both carry DVIDS ID 1006111; please correct or explain the shared identifier. For the 28 Release 01 DVIDS video IDs, please also identify the authoritative public page URL, embed URL, VIRIN, DOD filename/source ID, published/update timestamps, highest public MP4 rendition, caption/transcript availability, thumbnail/poster-frame source if public, and any releasable public-rendition generation history. The IDs are: 1006119, 1006056, 1006059, 1006060, 1006062, 1006063, 1006067, 1006073, 1006074, 1006076, 1006078, 1006079, 1006080, 1006082, 1006083, 1006087, 1006088, 1006089, 1006093, 1006094, 1006097, 1006159, 1006104, 1006105, 1006106, 1006107, 1006110, and 1006111. If DVIDS cannot answer source-upload, caption, public-rendition, or native/least-compressed-source questions, please route this to the appropriate AARO, DWIA, or originating public-affairs owner for a non-sensitive public-media lineage statement.
USCENTCOM FOIA Source-Control and Operational-Records Request
Route: Monitor the existing USCENTCOM FOIA case/thread. Do not open duplicate USCENTCOM, component-command, OSW/JS-AARO, or DOW/IQA routes unless an official response, referral, denial, correction owner, or documented aging trigger appears.
Contact: Email: centcom.macdill.centcom-hq.mbx.freedom-of-information-act@mail.mil
Why worthwhile: The most source-rich operational lanes are records questions: report/video pairing, release-control fields, corrected public metadata, releasable sensor/platform/environment controls, and OCR/source text.
Caveat: FOIA seeks existing records. The interim letter confirms process status only; it does not release records, confirm custody, validate observations, or prove anomalous performance.
Draft status: The operative status artifact is `reports/investigation/followup/uscentcom_foia_26-0189_interim_response_2026-05-18.md`; DOD SAFE pickup credentials and private requester details are not public artifacts.
Open prior outreach draft
Subject: FOIA request: PURSUE Release 01 USCENTCOM source-control and operational-record records To the USCENTCOM FOIA Requester Service Center: This is a Freedom of Information Act request for existing USCENTCOM records. I request electronic copies where available. If fees will exceed $25, please notify me before incurring additional cost. If any portion is exempt, please release all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions. If another office or component maintains any responsive records, please refer that portion and let me know the referral destination. This request concerns source provenance and public-record auditability; it does not ask USCENTCOM to conduct new analysis, create records, validate object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, speed, range, altitude, anomalous physics, or non-human technology. Date range: January 1, 2020 through the date of search for release-control, review, correspondence, and public-release records, plus the original mission/report records for the listed Release 01 items if maintained separately. Please search for existing releasable records or release-control records tied to PURSUE Release 01 Department of War records marked, reviewed, submitted, or source-controlled through USCENTCOM, including: - DoW-UAP-D23 / PR26 / PR27, including the D12/D23/PR26/PR27 relationship conflict. - DoW-UAP-D25 / PR28. - DoW-UAP-D27 / PR29. - DoW-UAP-D33 / PR34 and DoW-UAP-D35 / PR35. - DoW-UAP-D38 / PR36. - DoW-UAP-D44, D56, D57, D58, D60, D61, D62, D63, and D65. - PR42 and PR44 where USCENTCOM has source-control, review, or release notes. For those items, I request existing records reflecting: - Authoritative report/video pairings and any corrected row/date/location fields. - Report-line-to-video timestamp crosswalks where releasable. - Public-rendition generation or release history for the public DVIDS videos where already reviewed. - Releasable sensor-display state fields such as mode, FOV, zoom, polarity, reticle/tracker state, stabilization state, overlays, and timebase. - Releasable platform state or geometry fields such as position, altitude, heading, speed, gimbal/sensor angles, line of sight, range assumptions, and object-altitude assumptions. - Releasable environmental and traffic controls such as weather, clouds, haze, sea state, AIS/vessel traffic, aviation traffic, drone/balloon/range activity, satellite/reentry/fireball checks, and reflection controls. - OCR-complete report text or a no-further-text statement for D60, D63, and D65 if USCENTCOM holds release-control records for those PDFs. Please treat this as a narrow records request for auditability and conventional controls, not as a request for conclusions about the events.
NARA RG 615 / UAP Reference Mapping Inquiry
Route: Send as one NARA reference inquiry, not a media or validation request.
Contact: Email: inquire@nara.gov.
Why worthwhile: NARA publicly identifies RG 615 and other UAP-related holdings. Archivist pointers can clarify NAIDs, record groups, series, containers, finding aids, and whether Release 01 incident summaries duplicate known holdings.
Caveat: Ask for public finding aids and existing pointers. Do not ask NARA to validate UAP claims, certify novelty, or create a new crosswalk.
Open next outreach draft
Subject: Reference inquiry: RG 615 and UAP holdings mapping for PURSUE Release 01 incident summaries To the National Archives reference staff: I am reviewing public PURSUE Release 01 UAP-related records and trying to cite the National Archives record context accurately. This is a reference inquiry, not a media inquiry and not a request for NARA to validate any UAP claim. Please point me to existing public finding aids, NAIDs, record groups, series, containers, microfilm references, catalog entries, or reference pages that would help map the Release 01 incident-summary PDFs and related historical summaries to NARA holdings. The specific records are: - 38_143685_box7_Incident_Summaries_1-100 - 38_143685_box_Incident_Summaries_101-172 - 38_143685_box_Incident_Summaries_173-233 The source-control mapping needed is: - Whether any Release 01 incident-summary PDFs appear to map to Record Group 615, Project BLUE BOOK case files, Project BLUE BOOK administrative files, OSI material, microfilm, or another accession. - Whether there are existing NAIDs or catalog entries that should be cited for the incident summaries, textual/microfilm records, moving-image records, photographs, or presidential-library UAP-related holdings. - Whether NARA has public guidance for distinguishing newly accessioned RG 615 material from older UFO/UAP-related holdings in other record groups. - Whether a researcher should cite a specific collection, series, container, microfilm roll/frame, or catalog URL when discussing these records. This request concerns source provenance and public-record auditability. I am not asking NARA to create a new crosswalk, certify that any record is novel or less redacted, interpret an object, or endorse any conclusion. Public pointers or recommended search terms would be helpful.
NASA History Source-Lineage Reference Inquiry
Route: Do not extend the History Office thread unless they add public pointers. Monitor NASA HQ FOIA request 26-00815-F-HQ for the Skylab search result, fee assessment, referral, no-records response, or records response.
Contact: Email: history@mail.nasa.gov
Why worthwhile: The NASA lane is source provenance: public transcript/image source pointers now improve citation routing for Gemini/Apollo items, while Skylab remains an open FOIA search.
Caveat: Treat NASA-cited public links as source leads only. Keep Apollo 12 VM2-VM5 as candidate frame matches only. Do not ask NASA to validate a visual interpretation or anomaly conclusion.
Open next outreach draft
Subject: Reference inquiry: NASA source-lineage pointers for PURSUE Release 01 historical materials To the NASA History Office: I am reviewing public PURSUE Release 01 NASA-related historical materials and trying to cite original NASA sources accurately. This is a source-lineage/reference inquiry. It does not ask NASA to validate object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, anomalous physics, or non-human technology. Please point me to existing public sources or reference paths for these materials: - PURSUE Release 01 NASA rows 20-21 and 139-150. - Gemini VII transcript, debrief, audio, and caption lineage, including mission-elapsed-time or page-span references where available. - Apollo 12 image/frame provenance for Release 01 VM1-VM6. Local source review found candidate public-source matches for VM2-VM5 in Apollo 12 Image Library frames AS12-46-6846 through AS12-46-6849, within the AS12-46-6845 through AS12-46-6852 sequence. These are candidate source-lineage leads only, not image-content claims. - Any original frame IDs, unmodified source-frame URLs, adjacent-frame lists, scan/film notations, or public image-modification/crop/annotation history that would keep these citations accurate. - Apollo 17, Skylab, or related NASA transcript/image/audio materials included in Release 01, if NASA History has a better public citation path than the Release 01 file alone. If this requires a formal FOIA request or another NASA office rather than a History Office reference response, please let me know the right routing. I am only trying to separate public source provenance from interpretation.
State Department FOIA Release-History and Cable-Provenance Request
Route: Submit through State PAL or FOIARequest@state.gov as a formal Department of State FOIA request.
Contact: PAL: https://foia.state.gov/request/request2.aspx; Email: FOIARequest@state.gov; Mail/Fax available on State FOIA request page.
Why worthwhile: The State lane has concrete MRN/date/post/subject and release-history questions, including duplicate-byte rows and a date conflict. State FOIA is the correct route for Department of State records.
Caveat: Ask for release-history and source-provenance records only. Do not claim the cables prove events, are newly public, or have confirmed redaction differences.
Open next outreach draft
Subject: FOIA request: PURSUE Release 01 State cable release-history and provenance records To the Department of State Information Access Programs Directorate: This is a Freedom of Information Act request for existing Department of State records. I request electronic copies where available. If fees will exceed $25, please notify me before incurring additional cost. If any portion is exempt, please release all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions. If any responsive record is already publicly available, a citation or URL is sufficient. This request concerns source provenance and public-record auditability; it does not ask the Department to validate any UAP claim, object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, or non-human technology. Date range: the source cable dates listed below and any release-processing, FOIA, MDR, accession, or public-reading-room records through the date of search. I am reviewing Department of State records included in PURSUE Release 01 and request existing records reflecting: - MRN/date/post/subject crosswalks for Release 01 rows 151-155 / MRNs 85 PORT MORESBY 199, 94 DUSHANBE 259, 01 MOSCOW 13169, 04 ASHGABAT 1028, and 23 MEXICO 2544. - Release-history references for Release 01 rows 29-30, identified in Release 01 as 59_214434_SP 16 [7.18.1963] and 59_64634_711.5612[7-2852]. - Any prior-public FOIA, FOIA Library, NARA, or reading-room references for the same cables. - Any release-history, accession, declassification, or redaction-status references that can be released. - Records reflecting whether Release 01 State rows 29 and 30 are intended to reference the same PDF asset or whether one row points to an incorrect asset. - Records reflecting whether the cable identified in extracted text as MRN 23 MEXICO 2544 should be dated September 16, 2023 rather than the 2003 date shown in Release 01 catalog fields. The purpose is to cite the cables accurately and distinguish release metadata from event interpretation.
Requests Held Until A Trigger
These channels are documented, but they should not be first-wave outreach because they are duplicative, premature, too broad, or formally require more owner-side evidence packaging.
| Target | Status | Why held |
|---|---|---|
| Department of War Information Quality Act request for correction | Hold-ready escalation | Worthwhile only if DVIDS/CENTCOM cannot correct or route public metadata issues, or if the owner chooses a formal correction process. It requires the owner contact block and a documented evidence appendix. |
| OSW/JS FOIA for AARO-held release-control records | Hold | Use after DVIDS or CENTCOM referral/no-action, not as the first post-White-House move. |
| AARO Submit A Report | Do not send | AARO says that route is for current or former U.S. Government employees, service members, or contractors with first-hand program/activity knowledge; this is a public-source research packet. |
| FBI eFOIA / Vault comparison | Hold | Potentially useful later, but the bounded local Vault review is now complete and found no current trigger. Reopen only for an agency lead, concrete file/page question, future exhaustive all-page expansion, or explicit owner process-only choice. |
| USEUCOM or USNORTHCOM direct outreach | Hold | Geography and DVIDS-source conflicts are not enough. Let DVIDS or CENTCOM refer before opening parallel component threads. |
| Public affairs, Congress, journalists, podcasts, advocacy groups | Hold | These would amplify interpretation before source controls are repaired. They add risk without producing records. |

Requests Waiting On More Evidence
Hold-lane huddle completed on 2026-05-11. The team verified official routes, prepared trigger-ready drafts where a route could become useful, and kept true mismatches in a do-not-send lane. These are not first-wave sends unless their listed trigger is met.
| Check | Result | Details |
|---|---|---|
| DOW/IQA | Fixed conditional | Formal correction route is real, but it requires owner contact information, an evidence appendix, and either a failed/routed first-wave correction path or explicit owner escalation. |
| OSW/JS-AARO | Fixed conditional | FOIA route is real for AARO-held release-control records, but it should follow DVIDS/CENTCOM referral, no-action, or aged nonresponse. |
| FBI | Fixed conditional | RIDS/eFOIPA route is real, but the bounded local Release 01 versus Vault review found 0 stable shared anchors and 0 current send triggers. A process-only request remains drafted but lower priority unless the owner explicitly chooses it or new evidence appears. |
| USEUCOM/USNORTHCOM | Fixed conditional | Both FOIA routes are real, but geography or conflicted metadata is not enough. Use only after DVIDS, CENTCOM, OSW/JS, or an official public correction identifies custody. |
| AARO Submit A Report and amplification | Do not send | The AARO report form is not for this public-source packet; media, Congress, advocacy, private-witness, and public-affairs cold outreach remain blocked. |
| NASA HQ FOIA | Partial public-pointer response / Skylab search pending | NASA History indicated item-level NASA documentation should go through FOIA. One NASA HQ request was submitted by Gmail on 2026-05-11 rather than duplicating center-by-center requests. NASA HQ FOIA assigned request 26-00815-F-HQ on 2026-05-13, received the narrowed clarification the same day, and responded on 2026-05-19 with public Gemini/Apollo source pointers for items 1-4 while keeping the Skylab item 5 search open. Public pages do not expose requester contact fields. |
Conditional Requests
These drafts are ready to use only when their trigger is met. They document official routes and exact blockers now, so the team can act quickly without overstating custody or source control.
| Target | Status | Route | Trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
| DOW/War.gov Public Release Correction Routing | Fixed conditional – send only if chosen as a single catalog-correction route or after DVIDS routes to DOW | DOW Contact / Technical Support for war.gov public-page defects; public communications postal route if needed. | Use if DVIDS says War.gov/DOW owns the public CSV/page correction, or if the owner wants one non-IQA catalog-correction route before formal RFC. |
| DOW Information Quality Act Request for Correction | Fixed conditional – owner-contact required before sending | Mail formal RFC to DOW Public Affairs/Information Quality Act. | Use after DVIDS/DOW/CENTCOM cannot correct or route the metadata issues, or if the owner explicitly chooses the formal correction clock now. |
| OSW/JS FOIA for AARO-Held Release-Control Records | Fixed conditional – send after referral/no-action/aged first-wave requests | OSW/JS FOIA Requester Service Center. | Use if DVIDS/CENTCOM routes to AARO/OSW, if first-wave routes age without action, or if a specific AARO-held release-control record set is identified. |
| FBI RIDS/eFOIPA 62-HQ-83894 Process/Crosswalk Request | Fixed conditional – no current trigger after bounded local Vault review | FBI eFOIPA or RIDS; use only after a new concrete trigger, an agency lead, future exhaustive comparison, or explicit owner process-only choice. | Use if a future exhaustive crosswalk, agency response, or new source packet produces a concrete file/serial/page/process question. Optional weaker trigger is owner choice to ask only whether an existing FBI crosswalk or processing inventory already exists. |
| USEUCOM Conditional FOIA | Fixed conditional – send only after custody/referral trigger | USEUCOM FOIA Requester Service Center. | Use only if DVIDS, CENTCOM, OSW/JS, AARO, or a corrected public source identifies USEUCOM as holder or correction owner for a specific Greece/Aegean/Mediterranean record. |
| USNORTHCOM Conditional FOIA | Fixed conditional – send only after custody/referral trigger | USNORTHCOM FOIA Requester Service Center. | Use only if DVIDS, CENTCOM, OSW/JS, AARO, or a corrected public source confirms NORTHCOM owns PR29 submission metadata, release-control records, or a specific correction route. |
| NASA HQ Source-Lineage FOIA | NASA HQ FOIA request 26-00815-F-HQ received a 2026-05-19 partial public-pointer response for items 1-4; Skylab item 5 search remains pending | NASA Headquarters FOIA through NASA Public Access Link or the National FOIA Portal. | NASA History replied that item-level NASA documentation for the Release 01 NASA materials would need to go through FOIA. |
DOW/War.gov Public Release Correction Routing
Route: DOW Contact / Technical Support for war.gov public-page defects; public communications postal route if needed.
Contact: Website Technical Support: https://www.war.gov/Contact/Website-Technical-Support/; Contact page: https://www.war.gov/Contact/
Trigger: Use if DVIDS says War.gov/DOW owns the public CSV/page correction, or if the owner wants one non-IQA catalog-correction route before formal RFC.
Missing before send: No owner contact block required for a web/support form, but include a reply email in the form. Keep the War.gov technical-support question under its 1000-character field limit.
Caveat: This is not a formal IQA Request for Correction and should not ask for native sensor files or event validation.
Open conditional draft
Subject: PURSUE Release 01 public metadata correction and routing request Suggested route: Department of War Website Technical Support. Use the question text below in the form; it is designed to stay under the 1000-character question limit. Question: I am reviewing PURSUE Release 01 public War.gov materials and trying to cite them accurately. Please route this to the office that can correct or explain public CSV/page metadata conflicts: State rows 29/30 duplicate PDF; PR26/D12/D23/PR27 pairing; PR28 D7 vs D25; PR29 D8/NORTHCOM vs D27/Gulf of Oman; PR38 unresolved vs aircraft; PR49 and FBI Photo A1 sharing DVIDS ID 1006111; State Cable 5 2003 vs MRN 23 MEXICO 2544 dated 2023; NASA VM1-VM6 source-frame/annotation lineage. I am asking only for routing or a corrected machine-readable addendum, not validation of object identity, origin, performance, anomaly status, or non-human technology. Evidence-control page: https://virtualrealityaistudio.com/uap/evidence-control-requests/ If routed to postal public communications instead of the web form, include the same public evidence-control URL and the DOW IQA evidence appendix for the longer issue list. Do not use this route for disclosure demands, native sensor files, or event validation.
DOW Information Quality Act Request for Correction
Route: Mail formal RFC to DOW Public Affairs/Information Quality Act.
Contact: Use the linked official source page for the current public route.
Trigger: Use after DVIDS/DOW/CENTCOM cannot correct or route the metadata issues, or if the owner explicitly chooses the formal correction clock now.
Missing before send: Owner full name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, organization affiliation if any, and approval of the evidence appendix.
Caveat: IQA is for accuracy, clarity, completeness, utility, and integrity of disseminated information; do not use it for disclosure demands or UAP interpretation.
Open conditional draft
Subject: Request for Correction under DOW Information Quality Guidance: PURSUE Release 01 public metadata/source-control conflicts Mail to: DOW Public Affairs/Information Quality Act, 1400 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-1400. Do not send until the owner contact block below is completed and the evidence appendix is attached or included. This is a Request for Correction of information submitted under DOW's Information Quality Guidance. Requester contact information: - Name: [OWNER FULL NAME] - Mailing address: [OWNER MAILING ADDRESS] - Telephone: [OWNER PHONE] - Email: [OWNER EMAIL] - Organization affiliation, if any: [OWNER ORGANIZATION OR NONE] Information to be corrected: PURSUE Release 01 public materials, including the War.gov PURSUE public page, Release 01 public CSV/data product, public media links, and related public source metadata for the affected rows listed in the appendix. This request concerns source provenance and public-record auditability; it does not ask for validation of object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, speed, range, altitude, anomalous physics, sensor truth, or non-human technology. Explanation of correction requested: Please correct or publicly explain specific public metadata/source-control conflicts in PURSUE Release 01. The requested correction is a public, machine-readable addendum or corrected CSV that identifies stable row IDs, source URLs, final URLs, file size or hash fields where available, duplicate-byte group where applicable, agency, record type, DVIDS ID, report/video pairing fields, redaction/status definitions, conflict flags, and last-reviewed timestamp where available. Impact: The current conflicts make it difficult for public researchers to cite Release 01 accurately, distinguish public source metadata from local inference, and avoid linking unrelated records through duplicated identifiers. Corrected public metadata would improve accuracy, clarity, completeness, utility, and integrity of the disseminated public data product. Requested corrections or explanations: - State rows 29 and 30: correct or explain whether two differently titled/dated catalog rows intentionally point to the same PDF asset. - PR26 / D12 / D23 / PR27: correct or explain whether PR26 should reference DoW-UAP-D12, DoW-UAP-D23, both, or neither, and how D23 maps to PR26/PR27 if applicable. - PR28: correct or explain whether PR28 is paired to DoW-UAP-D7, DoW-UAP-D25, both, or neither. - PR29: correct or explain whether PR29 is paired to DoW-UAP-D8, DoW-UAP-D27, both, or neither, and reconcile public United Arab Emirates / Gulf of Oman / source-command fields if they remain conflicted. - PR38: correct or explain the conflict between unresolved title language and any field that says resolved as aircraft. - PR49 / FBI Photo A1: correct or explain why an Army video row and an FBI image row both carry DVIDS ID 1006111. - State Cable 5: correct or explain whether the cable identified in extracted text as MRN 23 MEXICO 2544 should be dated September 16, 2023 rather than the 2003 date shown in Release 01 catalog fields. - NASA VM1-VM6: provide or route public source-lineage fields for original frame IDs, unmodified source-frame links or scans, adjacent-frame lists, and release-image modification/crop/annotation history where already public or releasable. Supporting documented evidence: Include the accompanying evidence appendix listing the affected rows, public URLs, observed conflicting fields, and local source-control notes. The appendix should not include claims about object identity, origin, performance, anomaly status, or non-human technology.
OSW/JS FOIA for AARO-Held Release-Control Records
Route: OSW/JS FOIA Requester Service Center.
Contact: Email: whs.mc-alex.esd.mbx.osd-js-foia-requester-service-center@mail.mil
Trigger: Use if DVIDS/CENTCOM routes to AARO/OSW, if first-wave routes age without action, or if a specific AARO-held release-control record set is identified.
Missing before send: No current AARO-specific PURSUE release-control contact beyond OSW/JS FOIA was verified.
Caveat: Ask for existing release-control records only; component-originating operational records stay with component FOIA unless referred.
Open conditional draft
Subject: FOIA request: AARO / OSW-JS PURSUE Release 01 release-control records To the OSW/JS FOIA Requester Service Center: This is a Freedom of Information Act request for existing AARO-held or OSW/JS-held records. I request electronic copies where available. If fees will exceed $25, please notify me before incurring additional cost. If any portion is exempt, please release all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions. If another office or component maintains any responsive records, please refer that portion and let me know the referral destination. This request concerns source provenance and public-record auditability; it does not ask for validation of object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, speed, range, altitude, anomalous physics, sensor truth, or non-human technology. Date range: January 1, 2020 through the date of search. Please search for existing AARO-held or OSW/JS-held records concerning PURSUE Release 01 release control and public crosswalks, including: - Catalog/report/video relationship tables or source-control crosswalks. - Release 01 public page correction tickets or coordination records. - DVIDS upload, source-description, source-office, caption, or public-rendition coordination records. - DOPSR or public-release package identifiers, if releasable. - Non-sensitive release notes or public-release coordination records for PR27/D23, PR28/D7/D25, PR29/D8/D27, D33/PR34, D35/PR35, PR49/FBI Photo A1, the 2020 maritime IR records, and related Release 01 source-control conflicts. - Referral or ownership notes identifying whether DVIDS, AARO, USCENTCOM, USEUCOM, USNORTHCOM, DOW Public Affairs, or another component owns correction of specific public metadata fields. Please do not create a new analysis or event interpretation. If no responsive AARO/OSW-JS release-control records exist, a no-records response or referral path is sufficient.
FBI RIDS/eFOIPA 62-HQ-83894 Process/Crosswalk Request
Route: FBI eFOIPA or RIDS; use only after a new concrete trigger, an agency lead, future exhaustive comparison, or explicit owner process-only choice.
Contact: eFOIPA: https://efoia.fbi.gov/; Questions: fbi.foia@fbi.gov
Trigger: Use if a future exhaustive crosswalk, agency response, or new source packet produces a concrete file/serial/page/process question. Optional weaker trigger is owner choice to ask only whether an existing FBI crosswalk or processing inventory already exists.
Missing before send: No current send trigger. The bounded 10×10/manual review found 0 stable shared anchors and 0 next-pass rows; exhaustive all-page mapping is optional future expansion, not a current blocker.
Caveat: Do not claim novelty, missing pages, less redaction, completeness, or FBI validation without page-level proof and/or FBI response.
Open conditional draft
Subject: FOIA request: existing FBI release inventory/crosswalk records for 62-HQ-83894 and Vault UFO Parts 01-16 To the FBI Record/Information Dissemination Section: This is a Freedom of Information Act request for existing FBI records. I request electronic copies where available. If fees will exceed $25, please notify me before incurring additional cost. If any portion is exempt, please release all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions. This request concerns source provenance and public-record auditability; it does not ask the FBI to validate object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, speed, range, altitude, anomalous physics, sensor truth, or non-human technology. Please search for any existing FBI release inventory, processing note, public crosswalk, or other reasonably segregable record that maps FBI file 62-HQ-83894 / 65_HS1-834228961_62-HQ-83894 to the FBI Vault UFO collection, including UFO Part 01 through UFO Part 16 (Final), and to the PURSUE Release 01 section/serial PDFs released publicly on May 8, 2026. If no crosswalk exists, please do not create one. Instead, please provide any existing Vault part/page range records, section/serial inventory records, release-processing metadata, prior-public release notes, or reading-room records that would help researchers compare page order, serial order, and redaction state without inferring that any page is new, missing, less redacted, or complete. This request does not seek duplicate physical copies of public Vault PDFs unless those records contain separate release-processing metadata. Public citations or URLs are sufficient for records already available in the Vault.
USEUCOM Conditional FOIA
Route: USEUCOM FOIA Requester Service Center.
Contact: Email: eucom.stuttgart.ecj1.list.foia-privact-request-mb-access@mail.mil
Trigger: Use only if DVIDS, CENTCOM, OSW/JS, AARO, or a corrected public source identifies USEUCOM as holder or correction owner for a specific Greece/Aegean/Mediterranean record.
Missing before send: No verified USEUCOM custody for D33/PR34, D35/PR35, or PR28 was found.
Caveat: Geography alone is not custody. Do not open a parallel EUCOM thread without referral or source-owner proof.
Open conditional draft
Subject: Conditional FOIA request: referred PURSUE Release 01 Greece/Aegean/Mediterranean records To the USEUCOM FOIA Requester Service Center: This draft should be used only if DVIDS, USCENTCOM, OSW/JS, AARO, or a corrected public source identifies USEUCOM as the holder, submitter, release coordinator, or correction owner for a specific PURSUE Release 01 record. This is a Freedom of Information Act request for existing USEUCOM records. I request electronic copies where available. If fees will exceed $25, please notify me before incurring additional cost. If any portion is exempt, please release all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions. If another office or component maintains any responsive records, please refer that portion and let me know the referral destination. This request concerns source provenance and public-record auditability; it does not ask for validation of object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, speed, range, altitude, anomalous physics, sensor truth, or non-human technology. Please search for existing releasable USEUCOM records or release-control records for the referred PURSUE Release 01 Greece/Aegean/Mediterranean item(s), limited to the specific records identified in the referral. Requested record categories: - Authoritative report/video pairing or source-description ownership records. - Releasable report-line-to-video timestamp crosswalks. - Public-rendition generation or release history where already reviewed. - Releasable sensor/display/platform/environment context if already contained in existing records. - Referral notes identifying the originating or holding component for the specific public metadata conflict. Please do not conduct new analysis or event interpretation. A no-records response or referral path is sufficient if USEUCOM does not maintain the records.
USNORTHCOM Conditional FOIA
Route: USNORTHCOM FOIA Requester Service Center.
Contact: Email: n-nc.peterson.n-ncspecialstaff.mbx.cska-foia-omb@mail.mil
Trigger: Use only if DVIDS, CENTCOM, OSW/JS, AARO, or a corrected public source confirms NORTHCOM owns PR29 submission metadata, release-control records, or a specific correction route.
Missing before send: No source-owner confirmation resolves whether PR29 pairs to D8, D27, both, or neither.
Caveat: Do not treat the DVIDS submitter field alone as final custody and do not ask NORTHCOM to validate PR29 interpretation.
Open conditional draft
Subject: Conditional FOIA request: referred PURSUE Release 01 PR29 / DVIDS 1006074 records To the USNORTHCOM FOIA Requester Service Center: This draft should be used only if DVIDS, USCENTCOM, OSW/JS, AARO, or a corrected public source identifies USNORTHCOM as the holder, submitter, release coordinator, or correction owner for the PURSUE Release 01 PR29 / DVIDS 1006074 lane. This is a Freedom of Information Act request for existing USNORTHCOM records. I request electronic copies where available. If fees will exceed $25, please notify me before incurring additional cost. If any portion is exempt, please release all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions. If another office or component maintains any responsive records, please refer that portion and let me know the referral destination. This request concerns source provenance and public-record auditability; it does not ask for validation of object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, speed, range, altitude, anomalous physics, sensor truth, or non-human technology. Please search for existing releasable USNORTHCOM records or release-control records concerning the referred PURSUE Release 01 PR29 lane, including DVIDS video 1006074, the DVIDS reference to DoW-UAP-D8, any D27/Gulf of Oman referral or correction records, source-description ownership, AARO submission coordination, public-page correction records, and releasable report/video pairing notes. Please do not conduct new analysis or event interpretation. A no-records response or referral path is sufficient if USNORTHCOM does not maintain the records.
NASA HQ Source-Lineage FOIA
Route: NASA Headquarters FOIA through NASA Public Access Link or the National FOIA Portal.
Contact: NASA Public Access Link / National FOIA Portal; NASA FOIA guidance says to use Headquarters when multiple centers may need to search.
Trigger: NASA History replied that item-level NASA documentation for the Release 01 NASA materials would need to go through FOIA.
Missing before send: Skylab item 5 search result, fee assessment or decision, referral, no-records response, or records response. Private requester contact fields were used for submission and must not be published.
Caveat: Use NASA-cited Gemini/Apollo links as public source leads only. Do not ask NASA to create a crosswalk, conduct analysis, validate object identity, or interpret image content.
Open conditional draft
Subject: FOIA request: PURSUE Release 01 NASA source-lineage records To NASA Headquarters FOIA: This is a Freedom of Information Act request for existing NASA records. Please process this as one Headquarters-routed request because the responsive records may involve multiple NASA offices or centers. I request electronic copies where available. Requester information to add before submission: - Name: - Email: - Mailing address: - Phone: - Fee category: - Maximum fee amount or fee waiver request: This request concerns source provenance and public-record auditability. It does not ask NASA to validate object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, anomalous physics, non-human technology, or any visual interpretation. Please search for existing records, source-lineage identifiers, or public-release records sufficient to identify the original NASA source context for the NASA materials included in Department of War PURSUE Release 01 rows 20-21 and 139-150, including: - Gemini VII transcript, debriefing, audio, and caption lineage, including mission-elapsed-time or page-span references where available. - Apollo 12 transcript source title, page span, mission-elapsed-time crosswalk, and adjacent transcript context for the Release 01 excerpt. - Apollo 17, Apollo 11, and Skylab transcript/debriefing source title, page span, mission-elapsed-time crosswalk, and adjacent context for the Release 01 excerpts. - Apollo 12 VM1-VM6 image/frame provenance, including original frame IDs, unmodified source-frame URLs or scans, adjacent-frame lists, scan/film notations, and public image modification/crop/annotation history where such records exist. - Apollo 17 VM6 original frame ID, adjacent-frame list, source-frame URL or scan, original-film scan notation, and any existing releasable release-control or analysis-status record tied to the public Release 01 claim. For context only, local public-source review found candidate Apollo 12 Image Library source-frame matches for VM2-VM5 in AS12-46-6846 through AS12-46-6849, within the AS12-46-6845 through AS12-46-6852 sequence. These are candidate source-lineage leads only, not image-content claims. If NASA does not maintain responsive records, please provide a no-records response or refer the request to the appropriate NASA office or federal component. Please release all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions.
Outreach We Are Not Doing
These routes remain blocked because they are duplicative, outside the public-source packet, or more likely to amplify interpretation than produce records.
| Lane | Status | Reason | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| AARO Submit A Report | Do not send | AARO says the route is for current/former U.S. Government employees, service members, or contractors with first-hand knowledge of U.S. Government UAP programs or activities; public reporting is not available yet. | source |
| Repeat White House submissions | Do not send | All seven White House letters were owner-reported sent on 2026-05-11. Re-sending now is duplication unless there is a receipt, response, material new evidence, or distinct routing need. | source |
| Public affairs, Congress, journalists, podcasts, advocacy groups | Do not send now | These channels amplify interpretation before source controls are repaired and do not produce records. Reconsider only after documented agency response history creates a concrete oversight or public-interest need. | reports/investigation/outreach/hold_lane_huddle/skeptic_hold_lane_gate_2026-05-11.md |
| Foreign governments, embassies, airports, ATC, maritime operators, inferred witnesses | Do not send | Jurisdiction, privacy, inference, and operational-sensitivity risks are too high unless an official agency response identifies a specific public contact path and record owner. | reports/investigation/outreach/hold_lane_huddle/skeptic_hold_lane_gate_2026-05-11.md |
Hard Stop Lines
- Do not claim object identity, origin, extraordinary performance, validated anomalous physics, measured speed/range/altitude, or confirmed non-human technology.
- Do not say State, NASA, FBI, NARA, DOW, AARO, DVIDS, or VRAI confirmed the underlying observations.
- Do not treat unresolved as anomalous.
- Do not use thumbnails, contact sheets, 1 FPS sampled frames, or DVIDS prose as native forensic measurement.
