On May 11, war.gov silently revised the canonical PURSUE file list. 161 files became 158. They renamed 28 with new DOW-UAP-PR## prefixes, removed 5, added 3, and quietly consolidated all 6 "Arabian Gulf 2020" entries under "Middle East 2020". My automated tracker (which polls war.gov every 30 min during weekday business hours via a public GitHub Action) caught it within hours. Full diff with what they renamed, what they removed, and what they added: https://pursueufotracker.com/revisions For context on what this tracker actually is: I built it for the May 8 PURSUE drop (war.gov/UFO) because the official interface is a flat list of 161 thumbnails with no search, no filtering, no transcripts on the videos. While I was at it, I had Claude AI apply a six-factor rubric to every file and rank them by what I'm calling the Anomalousness Index - NOT "probability of aliens" (anyone publishing that number is selling you something), but evidentiary weight that the encounter remains unexplained after conventional analysis. The rubric is open JSON, anyone can audit or recompute it: https://pursueufotracker.com/data/scoring-rubric.json Six components, weights sum to 1.00: - Sensor quality (0.25): multi-sensor military > single sensor > photo > eyewitness - Witness credibility (0.20): astronaut > trained aviator > federal agent > civilian - Corroboration (0.20): multi-witness multi-instrument > single source - Kinematic anomaly (0.15): physically impossible > edge of envelope > consistent with known craft - Mundane explanation availability (0.10): no plausible mundane > strong mundane candidate - Official disposition (0.10): open after review > resolved conventional Top 5 by score (read these first): **NASA-UAP-D3A, Gemini 7 Audio, 1965** - score 72 Frank Borman reporting unidentified object to mission control in low Earth orbit, on the official NASA voice loop. Astronaut-witness on the official record is essentially unique in this archive. **Greece, January 2024 - diamond-shaped UAP, SWIR only** - score 66 U.S. military operator tracked an object at ~499 mph that was only visible on the Short-Wave Infrared sensor and invisible in EO/IR. The kinematic profile doesn't fit any known craft. **UAE, October 2023 - 4 min 57 sec IR sequence** - score 66 Longest unresolved IR tracking sequence in Drop 01. Multi-sensor platform. **Syria, July 2022 - dual-sensor IR + EO** - score 66 14 seconds of footage with both infrared and electro-optical capture - the multi-sensor confirmation that makes single-sensor explanations harder to sustain. **Apollo 17, December 1972 - 3 dots, triangular formation on lunar surface** - score 65 Open Department of War investigation under PURSUE. What this tracker does NOT do: - Claim aliens exist (the files don't prove that) - Claim aliens don't exist (the files don't prove that either) - Sell anything (no paywall, no ads currently, no email signup wall) What it does do: - Full text search across every PDF - Whisper-generated transcripts on every video (28 videos, 41 minutes of footage) - SHA-256 hash on every file so journalists can verify the mirror matches war.gov byte-for-byte - Public-domain confirmed (17 U.S.C. § 105 - all U.S. Gov works) Site: https://pursueufotracker.com Top 10 page: https://pursueufotracker.com/top-10 Methodology: https://pursueufotracker.com/methodology The honest verdict: https://pursueufotracker.com/verdict War.gov revision diff (the story): https://pursueufotracker.com/revisions Happy to AMA on the methodology, the war.gov diff, or anything else. submitted by /u/Aclosmurf [link] [comments]
