The sixth release from Donald Trump’s UAP archive contains military videos, police sightings and studies of technology once confined to science fiction. Buried among them is a 38-page report examining what may happen to people who get too close to an aerospace system they cannot identify.

On September 18, 2026, the Pentagon published the sixth batch of records released through PURSUE, the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters. The collection contains 71 files spanning more than seven decades, from 1952 to 2025.
At first glance, the release looks like another mixture of grainy military footage and heavily edited paperwork. A closer look reveals something much broader. The records connect the Project Blue Book era with modern sightings over the Middle East, reports submitted by Colorado law enforcement and government-sponsored studies of warp drives, wormholes, negative mass propulsion, antigravity and invisibility cloaking.
The most unsettling file is not a video of a light crossing the sky. It concerns the injuries allegedly suffered by people exposed to an advanced system of unknown origin.
What is inside Release Six?
According to the official announcement of the sixth release, the Pentagon intends to continue adding material to the PURSUE archive on a rolling basis.
Of the 71 files, 67 came from the Defense Department and four were submitted by local law enforcement in Colorado. The batch consists of 55 PDF documents, 15 videos and one audio recording. Sixty-four of the files contain redactions, meaning the public versions remain incomplete.
A detailed review by CBS News found that 37 of the documents are Defense Intelligence Reference Documents, commonly called DIRDs. They were produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program, or AAWSAP.
Most of those 37 studies had already been obtained through earlier Freedom of Information Act releases. The new copies consolidate them within the official portal and expose some details that were previously withheld, including the names of government offices involved in their production.
A program built to anticipate the year 2050
AAWSAP was established in 2008 and ended in 2012. Its stated purpose was to examine future aerospace threats and technologies capable of creating sudden breaks in the normal development of aviation and weapons systems.
One released statement of objectives explains that the program was intended to understand the physics and engineering of advanced aerospace applications through 2050. Its contractors were asked to study breakthrough concepts that could fundamentally change existing technological trends.
That mandate explains the presence of papers on manipulating space-time, traversable wormholes, propulsion using negative mass, control of gravity, advanced metamaterials and methods of making objects effectively invisible to sensors.
The Pentagon cautions that these papers are reference and synthesis products rather than proof that the concepts have been validated or successfully engineered. The qualification is important, yet the scale of the research still raises a question. Why did a military intelligence program consider such an extensive catalogue of exotic ideas worth commissioning?
The report about people who got too close
The most disturbing document is a 38-page technical study from 2010 examining “unintended injury to human observers by anomalous advanced aerospace systems.”
It discusses three previously healthy and physically active antenna engineers who experienced an unusual aerospace-related event. Afterward, they reportedly developed symptoms including intense heat and redness of the skin, hair loss and signs resembling radiation illness.
One individual later showed changes described as malignant transformations. The study did not identify the exposure source and did not name the object or system that might have produced it.
The cases were compared with 42 published and approximately 300 unpublished incidents involving conventional radiofrequency injury where the radiation source was known. The underlying idea was that medical damage could serve as a technical fingerprint. If physicians could determine what type of energy harmed the tissue, analysts might infer characteristics of the machine that produced it even if the machine itself was never recovered.
The author concluded that enough incidents and medical data existed to support the hypothesis that certain advanced systems might already be deployed while remaining opaque to full United States understanding.
This was not an anonymous internet witness statement. It was a technical product included within a military intelligence research program. Its language is cautious, but its existence shows that the biological consequences of close encounters were treated as a potential national-security problem.
Can the human body reveal how an unknown craft works?
The report’s method is unusual but scientifically recognizable. When a person is exposed to a known energy system, the injury pattern may indicate the approximate frequency, intensity and duration of that exposure. Burns, neurological effects, eye damage and changes in blood chemistry do not occur randomly. They can point toward microwaves, ionizing radiation or another physical mechanism.
Applied to a UAP encounter, the witness becomes the sensor left behind. The object has vanished and radar data may be unavailable, but the body retains evidence of the interaction.
That possibility is more consequential than another ambiguous video. A distant light can be a balloon, drone, optical artifact or sensor problem. A medically documented injury in a healthy person requires a physical cause.
The unresolved question is whether that cause was an undisclosed military system, an unusual electromagnetic event or a technology whose origin the investigators could not determine.
Six spheres changing direction over the Middle East
The 15 videos resemble footage from earlier PURSUE releases. Many were captured through military infrared systems and show small objects moving at considerable distance from the sensor.
In one 2022 case, personnel conducting a mission over the Middle East observed objects estimated to be between one and two meters in size. An accompanying report placed their speed between 80 and 180 miles per hour and described them as moving sporadically within the target area.
Another clip shows approximately six small spherical objects traveling together. The report describes the objects as agile and notes that they frequently changed direction. The event remains unresolved.
Short clips rarely allow members of the public to determine true size, range and speed. Military operators may have additional context from mission data and sensor readings. The preservation of these incidents as unresolved UAP reports indicates that the initial review did not produce a satisfactory identification.
Silent colored lights reported by police
Four videos in the release came from local law enforcement officers in Colorado and were recorded on mobile phones in October 2023.
One officer described the phenomenon as silent, with flashing red, blue and green lights. Parts of the recordings were blurred or redacted because they revealed sensitive information. The lights alone do not establish the presence of an extraordinary craft, but their inclusion marks a shift in how official reports are handled.
For decades, reporting a UFO could damage the reputation of a pilot, service member or police officer. Adding local law-enforcement observations to the federal archive suggests that witnesses are increasingly encouraged to preserve data rather than quietly discard an incident they cannot explain.
The 1952 film that returned after 74 years
Release Six also includes the famous Tremonton, Utah, footage recorded on July 2, 1952, by Navy warrant officer Delbert Newhouse. Bright objects can be seen moving across the sky on 16mm color film.
The footage was examined under Project Blue Book. One proposed explanation suggested the camera had captured birds reflecting sunlight while circling in thermal currents. The case remained controversial because the apparent brightness and behavior of the objects did not satisfy every analyst.
The batch contains an hour-long audio recording of Air Force officer Edward Ruppelt speaking in 1952. Ruppelt later became the head of Project Blue Book. In the recording, he explains that of roughly 800 reports examined by the Air Force, about 20 percent were strong cases submitted by reliable observers for which no conclusion could be reached.
That statement came from an officer positioned near the center of the official investigation. Even in 1952, military analysts understood that after mistakes, hoaxes and ordinary objects were removed, a core group of incidents resisted straightforward identification.
What the sixth release actually reveals
The files do not contain a single page stamped as proof of extraterrestrial visitation. Some documents were available before, many pages remain redacted and the released videos are difficult to analyze in isolation. The importance of the archive lies in the pattern created by the collection.
For decades, American agencies preserved reports of unknown objects, commissioned studies of technology beyond conventional aerospace engineering and examined possible physical injuries to witnesses. The timeline begins with color film from 1952 and extends to police footage from 2023 and records dated as recently as 2025.
Release Six demonstrates that the subject extends beyond lights in the sky. It includes possible energy exposure, medical consequences and attempts to understand systems that could represent a threat regardless of who built them.
The most disturbing question is not whether the Pentagon believes in aliens. It is why military researchers believed it was necessary to study the bodies of people reportedly injured by aerospace systems the United States did not fully understand.
And if 64 of the 71 files still contain redactions, what remains hidden beneath the black bars?
