Complete 2026 PURSUE Research Tool: Search, View, Play and Map All 517 Government Files
The five 2026 PURSUE releases contain 517 files spread across documents, images, audio and video. Trying to work through the material as released means jumping between separate tranches, ZIP files, folders and different media types.
So I built the tool I wanted while researching it.
It lets you:
- Search and filter all 517 files across all five releases in one place.
- Open everything directly in your browser. Documents, images, video and audio all have built-in viewers or players.
- Use a Map Room to see incidents, facilities and reporting locations geographically where the released information provides a usable location. It also has a topographic overlay for reports where terrain may be relevant.
- Go straight back to the primary source. Every item retains a direct link to the original government source so you can verify it yourself.
The collection currently covers the May 8 through August 7 releases and material from the Department of War, FBI, NASA, CIA, State Department, Air Force and Department of Energy. It will be updated as additional PURSUE releases come out.
Full disclosure: the tool lives on The Daily Alien, the UFO/UAP news and research site I run. I asked the UFOB moderators before posting this and received permission. There is no paywall, no registration and I'm not asking for money.

If you use it, I'd particularly like to hear about any missing files, metadata errors or map locations that need correcting.
And if you have additional information that sheds light on any of the reports, videos, images or documents, I'd like to hear about that too. Where useful, we may be able to add clearly labeled researcher notes or addenda alongside the original material while keeping the government record itself untouched.
The point is to make this material as easy as possible for people here to actually research.
