The Department of War declassified and released the document for the first time as part of PURSUE Release 05 on August 7, 2026. [^1][^2][^3]\n\n<PDF src=\"https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/080726/release_05/documents/DOW-UAP-D105.pdf\" />\n\n## Provenance and Analysis\n\nThe Air Intelligence Division prepared the report to correlate independent radar returns with visual descriptions submitted by pilots and ground observers during the July 1965 contacts. The evaluation weighs three possible explanations: a coordinated foreign reconnaissance effort, an atmospheric phenomenon, or an unknown technological presence. The document does not settle on one of the three.[^3]\n\n## References\n\n[^1]: [Department of War PURSUE page](https://www.war.gov/UFO/#release)\n[^2]: [Department of War PURSUE data file (uap-data.csv)](https://www.war.gov/Portals/1/Interactive/2026/UFO/uap-data.csv)\n[^3]: [DOW-UAP-D105, USAF Air Intelligence Historical Analysis, Caribbean Radar Contacts, 1965 remote release asset](https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/080726/release_05/documents/DOW-UAP-D105.pdf)","readingTime":"1 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-05-013-dow-uap-d105-usaf-air-intelligence-historical-analysis-caribbean-radar-cont","title":"DOW-UAP-D105, USAF Air Intelligence Historical Analysis, Caribbean Radar Contacts, 1965","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-05-013-dow-uap-d105-usaf-air-intelligence-historical-analysis-caribbean-radar-cont","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
