The Department of War's 14 September waiver voids UAP nondisclosure and Special Access Program agreements — but only for disclosures routed to PURSUE, and it leaves the Espionage Act entirely untouched.
Shinjiro Koizumi is expected to keep the defence job in this month's reshuffle. He is also secretary-general of Japan's cross-party UAP caucus — and Japan's UAP material remains entirely unpublished.
The Ministry of Defence says it holds nothing on UAP and joins no international group on the subject. A Pentagon document naming Britain at a Five Eyes UAP working group says otherwise — and the wording of the denial is doing a lot of work.
AARO has filed to sole-source a data subscription to North America's largest private UFO archive. The reason is that the government stopped keeping the record itself in 1970.
Lawmakers want immunity for witnesses who claim knowledge of recovered craft. The instrument they keep naming — a presidential pardon — cannot do that job.
Correspondence from the European Commission's defence department, obtained by Euronews, shows Brussels engaging with UAP reports years before it admitted to any interest — while EASA keeps refusing to give pilots a box to tick.
Marco Rubio told a podcast that objects are flying over US military installations and 'they're not ours'. The transcript is official and the quote is real — but the same answer contains a denial, a handover, and an admission worth more than the headline.
The Pentagon's fifth tranche of UAP records runs to 41 files. One of them is an unresolved intelligence report on 25 objects around an AC-130J gunship — and one debunks itself two cables later.
Matthew Brown, who wrote the Immaculate Constellation report, says the new PURSUE intake channels are 'more of the same' and possibly a trap. The awkward part is that some of his objection is procedurally correct.
An unclassified memorandum signed on 31 July tells every US intelligence agency that UAP nondisclosure agreements are no longer in force — and that staff who know something should report it. To the government.
Five weeks, six broadcasts and no documents. A deep dive into the row between Luis Elizondo and the researcher UAP Gerb — what was actually alleged, what Elizondo actually said, and why the argument as built cannot be tested.
A congressman says MIT Lincoln Laboratory has agreed to hand over a 1952 recording of a 'flying saucer talk' given by Project Blue Book's Edward Ruppelt. The press has filed it as the missing tape of the Washington flap. The catalogue date says otherwise — and what it probably is instead is more interesting.
For the first time, the House has adopted a comprehensive UAP records framework on its own floor — Archives collection, review board, eminent domain and all. Turning that into law is an entirely different problem.
The annual AARO report catalogues hundreds of fresh military encounters, resolves a chunk of them as balloons and drones, and quietly leaves a stubborn few unexplained.
