Pentagon posts seventh PURSUE UAP release, with 28 records and no videos
First page of AARO memorandum DOW-UAP-D176, distributed on the official PURSUE Release 07 portal. U.S. government document, reproduced with its original redactions; not a photograph of a craft or a reconstruction of its flight.

The U.S. Department of War published its seventh batch of declassified and historical UAP files on October 23, extending the PURSUE disclosure effort that began in May. The official portal's Release 07 filter lists 28 records, and its release panel explicitly states that this batch contains no videos. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the department and partner agencies were already preparing the next release, without announcing a date.

Among the featured entries are AARO memorandum DOW-UAP-D176 and FBI observation report FBI-UAP-D043, which the index associates with June 2026 in the western United States. The memorandum records agents' descriptions of a black triangular object, but its first page cautions that the reporter's interpretation is not conclusive evidence of intrinsic features or performance. The same release includes a 1957 Saudi Arabian air-intelligence report, a 2010 Utah ranch investigation report and several Catalina Island reports from 1949 to 1955. Those are historical incident dates, not new October sightings.

PURSUE makes unresolved records available for outside scrutiny; it does not certify the claims recorded in them. The portal says an unresolved designation can reflect insufficient data and that resolved cases are reported separately. The new disclosure therefore expands the documentary record without establishing measured extraordinary speeds or an extraterrestrial origin. Its immediate value is that readers can compare the official descriptions, redactions and source documents rather than treat an account or an illustration as a verified flight recording.
