# U.S. government UFO / UAP recording collection

Research cutoff: November 8, 2026 (PST / America/Los_Angeles).

Open **index.html** for an offline, searchable catalog with local playback. Start with the ranked section; it is a documentary-interest viewing order, NOT a scientific anomaly score. All descriptions are based on official text and metadata. **No videos were visually reviewed and no independent trajectory analysis was performed.**

## What “unexplained” means here

An official “unresolved” title is not proof of anomalous capability, and certainly not evidence of an extraterrestrial origin. It can mean insufficient data, unverified custody, an ordinary object whose exact type is unknown, or ongoing analysis. Observer speed/shape estimates and descriptive captions are not AARO analytical findings. Native sensor data, telemetry, range and radar records are often absent. These are unchanged publicly released media renditions, not claimed raw classified sensor originals. No transcodes or visual enhancements were made.

## Start here

1. **FLIR - UAP** — AARO lists this as an unresolved case. The public clip is not the complete radar/witness evidence package. No extraordinary performance is independently established here. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/955825)
2. **GIMBAL - UAP** — AARO lists this as an unresolved case. Identity and apparent image behavior are separate questions; the clip alone does not establish extraordinary motion. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/956955)
3. **DOW-UAP-PR135, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2025** — Official caption cites a mission report describing six spheres, frequent direction changes and an observer-estimated 480 mph. These are reported estimates, not an AARO-validated trajectory. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1023397)
4. **DOW-UAP-PR34, Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, October 2023** — Caption cites multiple reported 90-degree turns at approximately 80 mph near the sea. Observer interpretation, not a published analytic determination. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1006080)
5. **DOW-UAP-PR28, Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, January 2024** — Caption cites a diamond-shaped object and approximately 434 knots, reportedly visible only in SWIR. No public corroborated kinematic solution in the caption. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1006073)
6. **DOW-UAP-PR133, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2025** — Caption cites a white round object reportedly moving as fast as 500 mph. Title says 2025 but description says 2024: event year is inconsistent. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1023396)
7. **DOW-UAP-PR36, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, May 2020** — Caption cites a Range Fouler report describing a solid white object making erratic movements. Unresolved report, not confirmed anomalous capability. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1006083)
8. **DOW-UAP-PR112, Unresolved UAP Report, Eastern United States, 2019** — Caption cites an observer with 28 years of military service describing unfamiliar flight characteristics. The described path is straight; high speed is not independently validated here. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1014128)
9. **PR-011, UAP Report Undergoing Analysis, Europe 2021** — AARO explicitly says physical attributes and performance analysis is ongoing. This explicitly denotes ongoing investigation, not a finding of anomalous performance. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/992261)
10. **DOW-UAP-PR38, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2013** — DVIDS calls it unresolved, describes an eight-pointed-star-like contrast area and says no witness narrative was supplied. A mirrored PURSUE CSV has a conflicting secondary Video Title reading Resolved as an Aircraft. That CSV label could not be independently verified against the live official CSV; no explanatory analysis accompanied it. Do not call this either proven anomalous or conclusively resolved. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1006088)
11. **Middle East Object** — AARO says unidentified but NOT exhibiting anomalous behavior. Included as an important comparison to unidentified = extraordinary. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/880273)
12. **DOW-UAP-PR117, Unresolved UAP Report, Gulf of Oman, 2021** — Secondary phone recordings of an AC-130J sensor display, not native sensor files. Contemporaneous clips; PR121 and PR122 significantly overlap. Cold-orb dimensions are reported estimates. [Official source](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1017793)

## Requested PR38 example — an important warning

The exact DVIDS title is **DOW-UAP-PR38**, also written **DOW-UAP-PR038** in the release catalog, video ID **1006088**, event year **2013**, posted **May 8, 2026**. DVIDS describes 1:46 of IR footage, an eight-pointed-star-like contrast area and no accompanying observer narrative. Its caption explicitly disclaims analytical conclusions. A secondary Video Title column in the mirrored PURSUE CSV reads “Resolved as an Aircraft, Middle East 2013,” while the primary title and live DVIDS page say unresolved. The official CSV itself was not downloadable by these tools, so the secondary label is NOT independently verified as current official analysis. The clip is included in `conflicting-status`, not advertised as an extraordinary confirmed unknown or a conclusively solved aircraft.

## Do not confuse these categories

- **Unresolved-priority / ongoing analysis:** FLIR, GIMBAL, PR-011 and reports worth reading alongside their captions.
- **Insufficient data:** PR-001, PR-008, PR-017, Middle East 2023/2024 and Navy Flyby. Even a physical object may not be established in IR-signature cases.
- **Unidentified but unremarkable:** PR-012/013/014/015/018 and the Middle East orb. AARO explicitly does not describe unusual performance.
- **Conflicting presentations:** PR38 has the mirror-versus-live discrepancy above; PR-003 has an AARO resolved-birds heading but unresolved/insufficient-data body and DVIDS text. Both are flagged rather than silently harmonized.
- **Custody warnings:** many PR050–PR099 records were retrieved from a classified network with uploader-defined labels, unsubstantiated custody and sometimes prior digital alteration. Titles such as “instant acceleration” or “in and out of water” are NOT findings.
- **Resolved comparisons:** GoFast apparent speed, Aguadilla/Puerto Rico, Al Taqaddum, Etna, aircraft, birds and balloons. GoFast's motion explanation is not a definitive identity for every pixel/object.
- **Recreations:** FBI digital recreations and Puerto Rico simulation are segregated; they are NOT event footage.
- **Historical / witness / CBP releases:** government custody or publication alone does not establish authenticity of every claimed interpretation or scientific anomalousness. Blue Book film codes are not individually ranked as unexplained.

## Scope and honest limits

This is a broad systematic recording search, not a claim to have audited literally every U.S. government UFO record. It checks the central 2026 PURSUE catalog through Release 07 (official landing page dated October 23), all 18 numbered AARO PR-001–PR-018 imagery entries and older imagery, Navy/DVIDS, NARA moving-image/bulk/RG615 holdings, CBP, and the relevant NASA/ODNI/CIA/FBI/FAA/NSA/State/Air Force source collections. See **coverage.md** for URLs and omissions.

PURSUE's mirrored index has 478 rows: its 150 audio/video rows map to 149 distinct DVIDS IDs because PR057a/PR057b share an ID. It lists Release 07 as 28 PDFs and no new recordings; this enumeration is discovery-index evidence, not a live official CSV hash verification. Every actual downloaded DVIDS source was checked independently. Clips of the same event or overlapping segments are not independent cases. A fresh search could find additional digitized, newly posted, agency-specific, or incompletely indexed material.

Long Apollo debriefings, the Ruppelt speech, Roswell interview collections, hearing videos, engineering demonstrations, thousands of report PDFs and still photographs were not downloaded merely to inflate the collection. The other PURSUE audio sources remain linked in the manifest; the short Gemini 7 “bogey” communication excerpt is included as historical context, not an extraterrestrial claim. Classified, withheld and not-digitized holdings are outside this collection.

## Rights

Public availability is not a universal public-domain license. Some NARA films originated with private creators and may retain copyright restrictions; consult the linked catalog records before republishing.

## Integrity and desktop transfer

Manifest CSV/JSON records local filename, byte size, SHA-256, source/release/media URLs, event/release dates, status and caveats. Dates that look like January 1 may be catalog placeholders; the raw Date Taken field is preserved separately and not silently treated as an exact event date. Media were checked with ffprobe; SHA-256 establishes later transfer integrity, not government certification of what a clip shows. `server-integrity.json`, when present, also compares official CDN lengths/ETags.

Transfer packages are separate ZIP files at most 95 MiB. An oversized individual file's ZIP is split into ordered binary `.zip.partNNN` pieces, with a reconstruction manifest; these pieces are NOT independently extractable. See the adjacent transfer manifest and instructions. Extract all independent ZIPs into the SAME destination, preserving folders. Keep large-file ZIP parts until reconstructed and verified. Original quality is retained.

The connected desktop became offline during research, so this collection was prepared on the box; **preparation is not proof of delivery to the PC**. The parent agent must confirm successful transfer separately.

## Collection totals

194 distinct acquired media files, 12,101,859,204 media bytes (11.27 GiB). Files are not independent case counts.
