Official documentsFact checked

What is the “new wave” of Pentagon documents?

The “new wave” designates the progressive declassification process initiated by the American government since 2020 and formalized with the PURSUE program in 2026. It is distinguished from the unofficial leaks of 2017 by its institutional, official, and systematic character.

This wave includes several layers:

  • The three Navy videos made official in 2020 (FLIR1, Gimbal, GoFast) — first official recognition.
  • AARO Annual Reports since 2022 — quantitative data on reports.
  • The PURSUE program (May 2026) — WAR.GOV/UFO portal, archives gradually declassified.
What these documents collectively reveal

What the new wave confirms

✓ Points established by the entire corpus

  • Unidentified aerial phenomena are documented on a continuous, multi-sensor basis by the US armed forces.
  • The US government has chosen a step-by-step approach to transparency — not a single revelation.
  • The declassified archives do not, to date, contain any evidence of extraterrestrial origin.
  • The process is accelerating: from 9 pages in 2021 to hundreds of files in 2026.
What the new wave doesn't say

What the new wave does not reveal

⚠ Limits of declassification

  • The most sensitive archives remain classified — PURSUE only covers documents voluntarily transmitted by agencies.
  • None of the published pieces establish the origin of the documented phenomena.
  • The pace of publication is gradual — there is no full publication planned in the short term.
