The seventh tranche of the Trump administration's PURSUE program: 28 documents and, for the first time, no video, bringing the public corpus to 478 files per the portal's database. The lead files are an AARO memorandum and an FBI interview, with nine forensic sketches, on a 2026 triangle two Federal Special Agents saw at a national security site — a case AARO says warrants further investigation. Also: nine records from AAWSAP's contractor, BAASS, including its April 2010 Utah ranch investigation report; ten early-Cold-War Air Force intelligence reports; four Catalina Island reports; and a 1962-1964 Executive Branch file on recovering fallen space hardware.
At a sensitive national security site in the western United States in 2026, two Federal Special Agents watched what they described as 'a substantial, nonreflective, dark black triangular object most resembling a delta wing drone' climb over a ridge, then bank and descend into a canyon — hotter than ambient, no visible exhaust, no sound. A third official corroborated from a separate post; a second sighting followed the next evening. The FBI had nine forensic sketches drawn from the agents' account, and AARO says the case warrants further investigation.
An April 2010 Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies investigation report, written under the DIA's AAWSAP contract, documents field deployments to a Utah property and nearby communities: interviews with residents, law enforcement, ranchers, business owners and tribal community members; handheld sensor sweeps; planned plant-based biosensor experiments. It records accounts of 'dog-like bipedal creatures,' orbs of light, 'little people' and 'prehistoric-looking' birds, and states that BAASS intended to attempt communication with 'the presumed source of reported anomalous activity.'
Seven records from Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, the Las Vegas contractor that ran the DIA's AAWSAP: the December 2008 project management plan, the Project Capella database proposal, MUFON's papers for BAASS, monthly reports from March, April and June 2009, and a November 2010 self-assessment the Department reads as a case for the program's continuation. They show the money going to case data, reporting pipelines and field teams.
Two files on an Executive Branch policy fight: who would recover, analyse and dispose of U.S. and foreign space material that fell to earth. The 1962-1964 correspondence (USG-UAP-D002) shows public messaging naming NASA as the holding authority for foreign material while private correspondence 'described a parallel plan to exploit such materials for technical analysis.' A May 1963 National Aeronautics and Space Council memo (EOP-UAP-D002) records NASA's international director reacting 'very negative.' No settled policy came of it.
Near Hässleholm, Sweden, Transair chief pilot Captain Ulf Christiernsson and crew chief Olle Johansson reported a 'shining metal spherical elliptical object' approaching their DC-3 head-on, about 600 metres below, at roughly the speed of sound. The Swedish Defense Staff found no Swedish aircraft in the area. The U.S. Air Intelligence Information Report relaying the sighting also relays a contact's view that the captain was 'most untrustworthy.' One of ten early-Cold-War Air Force reports in PURSUE Release 07.
PURSUE Release 07 publishes four unresolved reports from Santa Catalina Island, California: six objects described in a 1949 letter to Kenneth Arnold; three Boy Scouts' silver 'flying saucers' in 1952; a purplish-white object local astronomers attributed to Jupiter in 1953; and a bright orange object 'the size of a nickel held at arm's length' in 1955. None was investigated far.
