As part of the review of historical Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) materials under the PURSUE program, U.S. government agencies have presented a series of documents and sensor data spanning from 1972 to 2026.
NASA-UAP-VM006: Apollo 17 Mission, 1972
A special task force has opened a case to investigate an archival NASA photograph taken in December 1972. The image reveals three luminous dots in a triangular formation in the lower right quadrant of the lunar sky. Preliminary government analysis suggests the feature could potentially be the result of a physical object in the scene. The original mission film has been obtained for detailed study.

DOW-UAP-PR019: Middle East, May 2022
The U.S. Central Command submitted a five-second infrared sensor video to AARO. The operator captured a high-contrast object moving rapidly across the bottom third of the field of view. The report describes the object as a "possible missile," though no definitive conclusions have been reached yet.
DOW-UAP-PR046: Football-Shaped Object, 2024
The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command reported an unusually shaped object near Japan. According to sensor data, the body resembles an American football with three radial projections: one oriented vertically and two oriented downward at a 45-degree angle.
DOW-UAP-PR049: Army Report, 2026
The most recent report from the Department of the Army includes nearly two minutes of tracking footage showing two areas of contrast in the sky over North America. The infrared sensor automatically maintained the objects in the center of the frame, repeatedly cycling through zoom levels and contrast settings for target identification.
These descriptions are provided for informational purposes only. Data analysis is ongoing, and final conclusions regarding the nature of these phenomena will be released by NASA and the respective agencies upon completion of the investigations.
