In August 2025, AARO hosted a private workshop with civilian researchers, universities, and government agencies to standardize UAP data collection. A Debrief report from February 26, 2026 detailed the workshop outcomes — including plans for structured public data sharing. This is AARO’s most significant institutional shift toward civilian collaboration.

On May 8, 2026 the Department of War launched PURSUE — the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters. 162 files released. war.gov/UFO is live. DOW statement: ‘in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency.’ Here is everything you need to know about what was released.

The AARO Historical Record Report Volume I was released February 2024. The Pentagon said it found no evidence of recovered craft or hidden programs. But the report’s own findings tell a more complicated story — Project SAUCER, Robertson Panel, AATIP, and 50+ years of USG UAP investigation are all documented inside.

On July 26 2023, three witnesses testified before Congress under oath: David Grusch (IC whistleblower), Ryan Graves (Navy pilot), and David Fravor (Nimitz TicTac pilot). Grusch alleged craft of non-human origin. Graves documented unreported UAP encounters. Fravor described the TicTac. This is the full record.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna set an April 14, 2026 deadline for the Pentagon to hand over 46 military UAP videos. The deadline was missed. A War Department official then confirmed AARO is working with the White House to prepare releases — the acknowledgement that prompted PURSUE one week later.

Multiple sources told Liberation Times that senior intelligence figures James Clapper (DNI) and Stephanie O’Sullivan (PDDNI) oversaw a UAP-related program within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence during the Obama administration. Never previously reported.

On February 3, 2026, Corbell and Knapp released footage from a US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper near the Syria-Jordan border. A mushroom-shaped object with no wings, control surfaces, or propulsion system achieved a weapons-grade target lock — then instantly accelerated and disappeared. Five Eyes classified it as UAP.

Congressional leadership abandoned full enactment of the UAP Disclosure Act. It was not included in the final NDAA for FY2026. The UAPDA — which would have mandated declassification of UAP records and established an independent review board — is dead for this legislative cycle.

Liberation Times sources confirm Matthew Sullivan was directly involved in the technical aspects of a UAP legacy program concerning a craft ‘believed to be possibly of non-human origin.’ He conducted this work through a private company collaborating with US intelligence. He was scheduled to testify. He is dead.

Liberation Times reports a source confirmed an exotic vehicle of unknown origin has been stored at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland for decades. Rep. Burlison visited Pax River last month. The Navy’s primary flight test center is now a named UAP storage site.

The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office was established in 2022 to investigate UAP across air, sea, space, and transmedium domains. UAP whistleblowers including David Grusch have called it a honeypot. Here’s what AARO publishes and what that tells us.

Days after Trump ordered UAP file releases, the US Navy formally denied an appeal for 78 classified UAP photographs. The Navy cited Executive Order 13526 and a UAP Classification Guide — stating there is ‘no discretion’ to release them. The Black Vault documented the full legal contradiction.

Jesse Michels runs the American Alchemy YouTube channel (612K+ subscribers) applying venture capital evidence evaluation to UAP claims. His interviews with Gary Nolan, Charles Buhler, Kevin Knuth, Jake Barber and Robert Salas have produced some of the most technically rigorous UAP content on the internet.

Ross Coulthart is the Australian investigative journalist who interviewed David Grusch before Congress did, documented underground UAP storage sites, and has more verified intelligence community sources than any other journalist covering UAP.

George Knapp broke Bob Lazar in 1989, co-broke AATIP in 2017, and has been at the centre of every major UAP story for 35 years. Multiple Emmy winner. The spine of the UAP journalism ecosystem.

Liberation Times sources confirm Sullivan was directly involved in the technology aspects of a UAP legacy program — an exotic vehicle suspected of non-human origin. Major General David Abba, head of DOD Special Access Program Central Office, attended his funeral and said Sullivan carried ‘the burden that a select few in this nation have of truly understanding what’s going on.’

Raytheon builds the directed energy weapons consistent with Amy Eskridge’s reported burns. Raytheon Australia manages Collins Class submarine combat systems. RTX just delivered a missile warning sensor to Space Force. All named in congressional testimony as keepers of UAP secrets.

Congressional testimony names SAIC as the ‘crown jewel’ with direct crossover to MAJIC. A former employee testified millions in contracts had no documentation. Bobby Ray Inman bridged SAIC and the UAP control group. All documented. All public record.

A former Green Beret was taken underground at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane and shown technologies ‘beyond human capability.’ 98 square miles. 3,000 buildings. Prometheus Energetics just broke ground. UAP Gerb documented it. UAP Oracle has the full picture.

Battelle manages Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Pacific Northwest and 5 other national labs under DOE. Two of the 11 missing scientists disappeared from LANL. Battelle is headquartered 60 miles from Wright-Patterson AFB. The connections run deep.
