November–December 1996

Three frames from Columbia: NASA's 1996 photographs of an object in low-Earth orbit

Three photographs taken from Space Shuttle Columbia during the STS-80 mission (November 19 – December 7, 1996) show an unidentified object in low-Earth orbit near the Earth's limb. Across the sequence the object appears to rotate or tumble, then continues along a trajectory that carries it against the face of the Earth. The Department's release includes no NASA disposition for the object, unlike two earlier Shuttle-era anomalies — STS-48 (1991) and STS-75 (1996) — already on the public record.

1962–1972

NASA's Gemini debriefings and the Cronkite–Cooper tape

PURSUE Release 03 publishes eight NASA crew-debriefing transcripts spanning Glenn and Schirra (1962-63) through Gemini 4, 5, 7, and 9 — the formal record of the 'sparkles,' 'snow,' and luminous-particle observations of early U.S. spaceflight — plus three audio files: the November 1962 Walter Cronkite interview in which Gordon Cooper says 'exceptionally well-qualified people have seen objects' without logical explanation, and two Apollo 16 scientific debriefings, one containing an off-hand 'could be an alien starbase' remark.
