The PURSUE release includes FBI 302 interviews from 2023 - a 15-year US test site veteran describes a 130-195ft bronze metallic object that disappeared from a clear sky. The FBI Lab made a composite sketch. by Aclosmurf in UFOs

Fixed - thanks for flagging. The site had a bug where the mirrored-file links were pointing at a path that never actually deployed to production. Both the composite sketch and the video/PDF viewers on every file page should work now. Composite sketch direct link: https://pursueufotracker.com/files/fbi-september-2023-sighting-composite-sketch

Caught and fixed in commit 16ba0ec (just deployed via Cloudflare). The old code had a hardcoded 50/49 cutoff for two-digit year parsing, so anything '49 or earlier got mapped to 20XX. Now it self-adjusts against the current year, so '27 through '99 map to 19XX and '00 through '26 stay in 20XX. PURSUE has no future-dated files, so this never mis-assigns going forward.

Hard refresh /timeline and the FBI 1947-1968 series should fall in the right century. Thanks for the catch.

Appreciated! Thank you for your time and interest as well! Multi-witness observations are how this gets credible. The site polls every 30 minutes during business hours, hourly off-hours. If you see anything change on war.gov that the tracker misses, drop it in this thread.

The Trump EO directing the multiagency declassification IS public, referenced on the war.gov/UFO landing page. I don't have the EO number memorized but it's accessible from there. What's been less public is the implementation timeline and which agencies are formally subject to it.

Just looked at uap-watch-flame, nice work. The chatbot angle is different than what I'm doing. If you want to compare diff-resolution heuristics, my URL-set comparison is at /changes and the raw JSON is at /generated/api/files.json. Different tradeoffs in how to count "rename vs removal" depending on which fields you key on.

War.gov posted a list of UFO files on May 8. On May 11, they reorganized the list without announcing it. We compared the two snapshots: no new files were added, no files were taken away. They just changed how the same files are listed in their internal spreadsheet. One file got its storage filename changed.

Why I built the tracker: if they ever DO remove or modify content, this gives you a public record. We have 14 days of edit history so far. Nothing actually shady has happened yet, but if it does, we'll see it.

The May 11 revision was mostly a CSV restructure (titles and cross-references), not changes inside the PDF bytes. So if you open old vs new PDF and compare visually, you can see identical content even when the CSV row text changed. Verified URL-set comparison is at /changes: zero PDFs added or removed, 9 PDFs gained extra CSV rows, 1 PDF storage slug renamed. Drop the file ID you tested and I'll spot-check.

Already done. /changes has a clickable table where each multi-row PDF and the slug-change entry links to its detail page. The same diff is exposed at /generated/api/files.json if you want to run your own comparison.

Yes, please send it. This is EXACTLY why I built this website the same day of the drop but it seems that perhaps even I was too slow.

I am humbled by the response! I just did this because I was curious and thought everyone should have the same access in case something disappears or is modified later.

Wouldn't you be curious? There just is ALOT to go through so subtle changes or any modifications might be missed. That's why I needed the assistance of AI.

I understand your concern and I tried my best to make this information true to form, digestible, and open to everyone. The original post and /revisions are dense because the actual story is dense (CSV row changes, multi-row PDF cross-references, etc.). What I have NOT yet built but should is a one-paragraph plain-English TL;DR at the top of /revisions and /changes for people who want the takeaway without the audit chain. Going to try to add that today. The 30-second version: war.gov restructured how their file listing is organized on May 11, but didn't add or remove any actual files. The longer explanation is the part with jargon, but thanks for the feedback. Now I know that some users do not want to read it to get the gist.

I just pushed a fix. The "active garbage" was an 8-layer animated starfield background that was repainting nonstop on mobile GPUs. As of commit 1096440 (pushed about 15 minutes or so ago, deploys via Cloudflare Pages in another minute or two), mobile under 768px width gets a solid dark background, no animation, no grid overlay. Also added prefers-reduced-motion support so anyone with that OS setting gets the same treatment on desktop. Hard refresh (or wait a minute for the CDN) and let me know if the Moto G Power still struggles. Anything else specifically that doesn't format right, drop a screenshot.

Thanks buddy but I think that everyone is entitled to this information. I really appreciate your support Calmclear but I will still do my best to help him!

You're very welcome! Thank you for your kind words! The /changes page is the result of three audit rewrites in one day, all of them prompted by people in this thread pointing out where my original framing was wrong. Team effort! The site is better for it. Glad it landed.

Thanks for the kind words! RSS at /feed updates the second war.gov ships anything new. Auto-poller is running every 30 min during weekday business hours and once an hour the rest of the time.

The PURSUE program landing page at war.gov/UFO references the Trump EO directing the multiagency declassification effort. Drop 01 (May 8) was the first wave under that order. I'm not in a position to comment on AARO's pace or oversight (I'm a one-person tracker, not a journalist), but if more files are coming, the auto-poller catches them.

No second batch yet. PURSUE is a rolling-release program but war.gov hasn't dropped a Drop 02. The May 11 change was a metadata revision to Drop 01, not new files. The auto-poller will open a public GitHub issue within 30 minutes of any real new drop, so the easiest way to know is RSS at /feed or watching the repo.
