Glossary

PURSUE

Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters. The Department of War's rolling release portal at war.gov/UFO. First tranche of 162 files dropped May 8, 2026.

UAP

Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon. The current preferred term in official documents. Replaces UFO in formal usage but means the same thing colloquially.

AARO

All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. The Department of Defense office tasked with investigating UAP reports across all military branches. Established 2022.

AATIP

Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. A 2007-2012 Pentagon program that became publicly known after the December 2017 New York Times story. Predecessor in spirit to AARO.

UAPTF

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force. Successor program to AATIP, established 2020 within Naval Intelligence. Folded into AARO when AARO was established.

Tic Tac, Gimbal, GoFast

The three best-known Navy infrared video clips of UAP encounters, released alongside the 2017 NYT story and 2020 Department of Defense official release. Each describes the visual shape or apparent behavior of the object captured.

FLIR / IR / EO

Forward-Looking Infrared, Infrared, and Electro-Optical. Three of the standard sensor modes on military targeting pods. Many UAP videos are recorded in IR rather than visible-spectrum because the targeting platform is itself in IR mode at the time.

Parallax

Apparent change in an object's position relative to the background as the observer moves. A frequent source of misinterpreted distance and size in UAP video; a small distant object can look like a fast nearby one if parallax is unaccounted for.

Project Blue Book

U.S. Air Force UAP investigation program 1952-1969. Cataloged 12,618 sightings, of which 701 remained unidentified at the program's close. Predecessor to all subsequent U.S. government UAP work.

Condon Report

1968 University of Colorado study commissioned by the Air Force. Concluded UAP investigation had no national-security or scientific value. The conclusion was contested at the time and the report's framing has been re-examined extensively since.

Project Mogul

Classified high-altitude balloon program (late 1940s) designed to detect Soviet nuclear tests. The currently accepted explanation for the 1947 Roswell debris recovery.

FOIA

Freedom of Information Act. The federal statute that lets the public request records from government agencies. Most pre-PURSUE UAP material entered public access via FOIA requests.

Experiencer

A person who has had a personal anomalous experience they associate with UAP. Distinct from a witness who simply observed something at a distance.

Transient lunar phenomenon

Brief flashes or color changes observed on the lunar surface. Most are explained by meteor impacts or outgassing. Not all are.

SWIR

Short-wave infrared. A sensor band sometimes detecting things that visible and thermal IR miss. SWIR-only signatures are unusual and worth flagging when they appear in a case file.

Co-orbital debris

Spacecraft components, jettisoned hardware, or spent stages traveling in similar orbits to the observing platform. A recurring source of UAP-shaped reports from crewed space missions.

Open and rigorous

The posture this site takes. We come to UAP with curiosity and care, looking honestly at what the evidence does and doesn't show. Wonder and rigor go together, and if something here turns out to be real, our default is welcome, not alarm.
