WHERE TO START
The U.S. government is releasing its Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) records through a program called PURSUE, published at war.gov and framed with the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office's (AARO) assessments. The guides below explain the program, the people pushing it, the cases that made the subject mainstream, and the agencies whose files are being unsealed. Umbra is an unofficial reader that indexes and renders that public record natively on iPhone.
