Pentagon Issues Waiver Letting Officials Share Classified UFO Data Without Penalty
The Department of War has created a legal waiver that permits current and former personnel, contractors and civilians to submit UAP-related classified information to the PURSUE task force without risking security clearance loss or legal action.
The Pentagon announced a legal waiver that removes the constraints of NDAs and SAPIAs for service members, contractors and civilians who possess classified information on unidentified anomalous phenomena. Under the waiver, disclosures must be routed through PURSUE, the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, the administration’s dedicated task force. The Department of War emphasized that participants will not face loss of clearance, legal repercussions, or administrative penalties for sharing such data.
This policy implements President Trump's demand for comprehensive UAP transparency, despite his personal skepticism about alien life. The announcement does not clarify whether the Pentagon will investigate the thousands of civilian UFO reports catalogued by NUFORC and MUFON. Agencies like AARO continue to limit reporting to government-affiliated individuals with direct program knowledge dating back to 1945.
Why it matters
It creates a protected channel for insiders to reveal classified UFO information, potentially reshaping public understanding and policy.
