The Department of War has declassified a new set of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) sensor data, this time from operations in Puerto Rico. The release, made under the PURSUE policy framework, includes video and radar recordings from an unspecified military platform operating in the region. The footage shows multiple objects exhibiting flight characteristics that are not immediately attributable to known aircraft or natural phenomena.
According to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which reviewed the material, the sensor data was captured by a platform operating in the vicinity of Puerto Rico. The exact date of the recording has not been disclosed, but the filename indicates it is part of a collection designated “puerto-rico-objects.” The report does not specify the type of sensor used, but analysts note that the objects appear to move in ways that suggest advanced propulsion or aerodynamic capabilities.
The release is part of a broader effort by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to increase transparency around UAP encounters. The PURSUE policy, established in 2023, mandates the systematic declassification of UAP-related materials that do not compromise national security. AARO has been tasked with reviewing historical and current cases to identify patterns and potential threats.
The Puerto Rico footage shows multiple objects tracked simultaneously, with some appearing to change direction abruptly. The report does not say whether the objects were detected by radar, electro-optical sensors, or a combination of both. Technical details from the filename suggest the data was collected in a multi-sensor environment, but further specifics have been redacted.
This is not the first UAP release from the Department of War. Previous declassifications have included encounters over Syria and Greece, as well as incidents involving Navy pilots. Each release is intended to provide the public and researchers with verifiable data while protecting sensitive information about military capabilities.
AARO officials have stated that they will continue to analyze the Puerto Rico data and may request additional information from the operators involved. The office has the authority to interview personnel, access maintenance logs, and request supplementary sensor data. Future releases will depend on the outcome of these investigations and the application of the PURSUE framework.
