AARO, PURSUE, and UAP file releases

A guide to the U.S. UAP file-release story: AARO, PURSUE, Release 01, the alleged 46 videos, and what public records still need to show.

What this topic covers

This hub tracks the current U.S. UAP file-release story: AARO, the PURSUE portal, Release 01, congressional pressure, and the claim that 46 requested videos remain outside the first public release.

The useful question is not whether a release feels historic. The useful question is whether public files arrive with enough context to evaluate them.

Core terms

AAROThe All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the U.S. government office associated with evaluating UAP reports and records.
PURSUEThe public UAP file-release portal announced by the U.S. government as a way to review, declassify, and publish unresolved UAP-related records.
Release 01The first public tranche. It matters, but a first release is not the same as a complete archive.
46 videosA specific missing-material claim raised in interviews and UAP commentary: videos allegedly requested by Congress but not included in the first release.

What is known

  • The U.S. government has published a public UAP portal and described it as an ongoing interagency release effort.
  • Recent interviews and commentary focus on whether the first release omitted more substantial video material.
  • Some officials and commentators argue that the file-release process is shaped by classification, agency resistance, and national-security review.
  • Public clips and release pages are useful starting points, but many do not include enough metadata to evaluate the case independently.

What is still missing

  • A public inventory of which UAP files are new, recycled, unresolved, or previously available.
  • Original video files rather than documentary glimpses, social clips, or edited excerpts.
  • Dates, locations, platform information, sensor mode, range, and chain of custody.
  • A clear answer on whether 46 specific videos were requested, which body requested them, and where they are in the release process.

What to watch next

The next meaningful development would be boring in the best way: filenames, source files, dates, platform data, sensor context, and a public explanation of what was withheld and why.

If the alleged 46 videos surface as public records, this topic changes. If they remain interview references and documentary glimpses, that is also a result worth recording.
