Department of War Issues Legal Waiver Letting Personnel Disclose UAP Information to PURSUE

The Department of War announced a targeted legal waiver authorizing current and former service members, civilian personnel, and contractors who hold or previously held access to UAP-related National Defense Information to disclose that information directly to official PURSUE representatives without triggering breach-of-agreement penalties or Non-Disclosure Agreement/Special Access Program Indoctrination Agreement violations. The department said the waiver 'establishes an authorized pipeline for systematic review, security evaluation, and potential declassification of historical and ongoing UAP data' but does not authorize public disclosure, media leaks, or social media posts — it applies strictly to communications with designated PURSUE representatives. The move builds on President Trump's February 2026 directive ordering the Pentagon to release UAP files and ODNI's July 31, 2026 guidance waiving prior NDAs for AARO/PURSUE channel disclosures.
