Pentagon releases sixth batch of UAP files with Advanced Aerospace Weapon System program details
The Defense Department released 71 files including documents on the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program, a secretive Defense Intelligence Agency initiative established in 2008 that studied warp drives, wormholes, antigravity, negative mass propulsion, and invisibility cloaking through 2012. The release includes 55 PDFs, 15 videos, and one audio file; 64 of the 71 files contain redactions, and most newly released versions include previously withheld details like agency office names.
“One aspect of the future threat environment involves advanced aerospace weapon system applications. The objective of this program is to understand the physics and engineering of these applications as they apply to the foreign threat out to the far term.”

Pentagon creates legal waiver for UAP secrecy breach protection
The Pentagon issued a legal waiver allowing current and former service members, civilians, and contractors to provide UAP-related classified information to PURSUE without legal penalty, overriding non-disclosure agreements and Special Access Program Indoctrination Agreements (SAPIAs). The waiver shields those coming forward from losing security clearances or facing administrative penalties.
“This waiver removes those barriers by explicitly authorizing covered disclosures to PURSUE representatives without triggering breach-of-agreement penalties or standard NDA violations.”
