WASHINGTON, June 12 — The Department of War has released its third tranche of UAP documents, including a 1949 U.S. Army Flying Saucer Study, under the PURSUE program.
This historical study, catalogued as DOW-UAP-D084, reflects early U.S. military efforts to collect and assess reports of unidentified flying objects in the years immediately following World War II.
The release of this decades-old document provides a long historical context to the current wave of UAP review, showing that official attention to anomalous aerial sightings dates back to the late 1940s. The file was published at war.gov/UFO as part of a rolling declassification effort ordered by President Donald Trump and overseen by the Department of War with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Officials emphasize that releasing historical records is intended to provide transparency.
They also stress that unresolved cases are not evidence of extraterrestrial origin, a point that will likely be closely watched as more documents are released. The Department said more materials spanning many decades will continue to be posted in future tranches.
This will likely be a significant development for those following the UAP disclosures, as it promises to shed more light on the history of UAP sightings and the military’s response to them.
It is a significant step in the declassification effort that the 1949 U.S. Army Flying Saucer Study has been made public.
The study is one of the oldest records in the disclosure to date, and its release suggests that the Department of War is committed to providing a comprehensive picture of the UAP phenomenon. As the Department of War continues to release more documents, it will be important to watch for any new information that sheds light on the UAP sightings and the military’s response to them. With the release of the 1949 U.S.
Army Flying Saucer Study, it is clear that the current wave of UAP review is part of a long history of official attention to anomalous aerial sightings, and it will be interesting to see what other historical records are made public in the future.
The publication of the study at war.gov/UFO is a significant development, and it will likely be closely followed by those interested in the UAP disclosures. As more documents are released, it will become clearer what other historical records are being made public, and how they contribute to our understanding of the UAP phenomenon.
