2026 has turned into a major year for the public release of U.S. government UAP material.
Rather than having the videos scattered across different releases and discussions, I thought it would be useful to keep one thread tracking the official footage released during 2026, along with what the government actually says about it and which cases still deserve a closer look.
The Department of War's Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) is releasing government UAP/UFO records on a rolling basis. The effort includes records reviewed across multiple government agencies, with additional material expected as records are discovered, reviewed and declassified.
Important distinction: these are videos released in 2026, not necessarily encounters that happened in 2026. Many of the incidents occurred years earlier.

Some of the Cases That Stand Out
There are now far too many videos to assume every one represents something extraordinary. In fact, that's one reason this collection is useful: government releases include unresolved cases alongside objects that may eventually receive conventional explanations.
Among the official video records are:
DOW-UAP-PR019 — Middle East, May 2022
Listed as an unresolved UAP report and released as part of Release 01.
DOW-UAP-PR021 — Iraq, May 2022
Another unresolved report involving an incident over Iraq.
DOW-UAP-PR022 — Syria, July 2022
DOW-UAP-PR023 — Iraq, December 2022
DOW-UAP-PR026 and PR027 — United Arab Emirates, October 2023
DOW-UAP-PR028 — Greece, January 2024
DOW-UAP-PR029 — Gulf of Oman, June 2024
DOW-UAP-PR031 and PR032 — Syria, October 2024
Release 04 also added additional unresolved video records involving locations including the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, Western United States and Gulf of America.
AARO Also Released New Footage in 2026
Separate from the PURSUE releases, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has continued publishing official UAP imagery and case material.
PR-013 — Unresolved UAP Report, Europe 2022
AARO describes this as infrared footage captured by a U.S. military platform. AARO assesses that a physical object is present, but the case remains unresolved based on the information currently available.
PR-011 — UAP Report Undergoing Analysis, Europe 2021
This case includes infrared footage showing an area of contrast consistent with a physical object. AARO has said analysis of the object's characteristics and performance remains ongoing.

"Unresolved" Does Not Mean Extraterrestrial
This distinction is important.
A government case can remain unresolved simply because there isn't enough reliable information to identify what was observed. An unresolved classification does not by itself mean the object demonstrated extraordinary technology or has an extraterrestrial origin.
AARO's own case archive illustrates this well. Some cases remain unresolved, while others have ultimately been assessed as balloons, birds, conventional aircraft or other ordinary objects.
That makes the remaining unresolved cases interesting for a different reason: they give us an opportunity to separate cases that are simply lacking data from cases where the available sensor information may warrant deeper analysis.
What Should We Analyze First?
The government video database has grown large enough that dumping every filename into the first post probably wouldn't be very useful.
Instead, I'd like to use this as a living 2026 UAP video index and add the more interesting cases as replies with:
the original government footage
incident date and location
sensor or platform information when available
the government's official assessment
supporting documents
credible independent analysis
possible conventional explanations
details that remain genuinely difficult to explain
If anyone finds an especially interesting video in one of the releases, post the PURSUE record number or official government link below and we can take a closer look at it.
Which 2026 release or individual UAP video do you think deserves the deepest analysis?
This topic will serve as an ongoing index of official UAP video releases. As new Pentagon, PURSUE and AARO footage is released, DisclosureWatch will add the new material and analysis as replies below.
