Department of War says a third PURSUE release is already in work
The official Release 02 statement says the Department of War and agency partners are already working on a third UAP file release.
The Department of War's official Release 02 statement includes one useful forward-looking line: the Department and its agency partners are already working on a third UAP file release.
The wording is narrow. It does not say what Release 03 will contain, how many files are expected, or whether the next batch will add more context to the videos already posted.
The same statement says WAR.GOV/UFO has received more than 1 billion hits since launch. That is a web-traffic claim, not a count of individual readers, but it does show why the release cadence now matters.
The next useful check is whether Release 03 adds original files, timestamps, sensor context, or analytic notes, rather than more clips with labels and little supporting data.
