2026 war.gov/ufo PURSUE Releases 01–06 & AARO Multi-Sensor UAP Correlation Engine

Meteors.ai ingests all 6 official 2026 Department of Defense (war.gov/ufo), AARO (aaro.mil), and National Archives (archives.gov/research/topics/uaps) PURSUE releases and correlates every multi-sensor track against 200 NASA JPL CNEOS atmospheric fireballs and NORAD satellite TLE shells. Field investigators and skywatchers can verify orbital glints, stratospheric bolides, and low-altitude tracks using 15x70 astronomy binoculars[↗], a plate-solved smart telescope[↗], an all-sky meteor camera[↗], an ADS-B receiver[↗], and an RTK GPS module[↗].

Archived in PURSUE Release 04 from DHS / U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations, a Bombardier DHC-8 maritime patrol aircraft recorded 3 minutes and 54 seconds of calibrated L-3 WESCAM MX-15D 3–5 μm thermal video over Aguadilla, Puerto Rico (18.49°N, -67.13°W) on April 25, 2013. The 1.5 m (5 ft) object maneuvered at 365 m (1,200 ft / 0.365 km / 0.23 mi) and 95 mph (0.042 km/s) before entering the Atlantic Ocean without splash signature or deceleration. Coastal low-altitude airspace monitoring combines 10x50 binoculars[↗] with an ADS-B receiver[↗], digital anemometer[↗], and RTK GPS module[↗] to distinguish wind-borne thermal lanterns from powered transmedium tracks.

Kinematic Anomaly Score88 / 100

Local Gemma (tier1-local-server-gemma) records a 1% CNEOS bolide match and 1% satellite flare likelihood for this marine boundary layer track at 365 m (1,200 ft / 0.365 km / 0.23 mi) and 95 mph (0.042 km/s). WESCAM MX-15D Thermal pixel radiometry showing air-to-sea transmedium entry and dual-target bifurcation yields an 88/100 kinematic anomaly score. Nearest cataloged NASA CNEOS bolide is cneos-fb-093 (1,093.7 km / 679.6 mi great-circle separation).
