WASHINGTON, September 23 — The Pentagon has added ten new files to its UAP records portal, a fresh transparency drop that mixes a recent law enforcement report with material dating back more than seventy years. The release, published through the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, or PURSUE, includes new UFO videos and decades-old records. PURSUE began publishing records in May; these ten files are its latest addition.
The Department of War, identified in image captions as DoW, released the documents and videos. Under the hood, the two headline items could hardly be more different in provenance.
The newer case was submitted by a local law enforcement officer to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO. It consists of one minute and nineteen seconds of video from a commercially available cellular device’s rear-facing camera, captured in October 2023. The reporting officer described the phenomenon as “silent” and as featuring “red, blue, and green flashing lights.” The older file is tied to U.S. Navy Chief Warrant Officer Delbert C.
Newhouse, who reported observing and filming a group of bright airborne objects near Tremonton, Utah, on July 2, 1952. He submitted the footage to the U.S. Air Force shortly thereafter.
That case remains described as a report of bright airborne objects filmed near Tremonton on that date. As ever, the detail that matters is what the release does not contain. There is no statement of conclusion about the nature of the phenomena observed in either case, and the source material provides no further details about the contents of the remaining files beyond those described.
The drop follows the Pentagon’s ongoing effort to publish UFO and unidentified anomalous phenomenon records through AARO, the office to which the October 2023 law enforcement report was submitted. The reporting was carried by ALEXX ALTMAN-DEVILBISS of The National News Desk, with WPDE as publisher.
What to watch
Whether PURSUE’s cadence holds — and whether future drops carry the same mix of contemporary sensor footage and archival material — is the next thing to track. For now, the portal has ten more files than it did before, and still no verdict attached to any of them.
