Who released what

We keep our own copy of every file on the Internet Archive, in case the originals change or disappear: documents · videos. The official site is war.gov/UFO, where each release can also be downloaded as a bundle.

The Pentagon describes these as unresolved cases, “meaning the government is unable to make a definitive determination” about what was observed. Publishing a file does not mean it shows anything anomalous.
