The US Department of War announced a targeted UAP legal waiver on 14 September 2026 allowing certain current and former service members, civilian personnel and contractors to provide UAP-related National Defense Information to officials working through the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, or PURSUE.
The measure applies to Department of War personnel and contractors who hold, or previously held, access to UAP-related National Defense Information. It does not authorise unrestricted public disclosure. Instead, the department said the waiver applies strictly to communications directed to official PURSUE representatives.
