The frames show an illuminated object moving along a trajectory the report describes as anomalous relative to expected orbital paths. The reviewed sensor data was cleared for public release with its observable characteristics intact.[^1][^2][^3]\n\nThe report does not resolve the object's origin or nature, and the object remains unidentified in the released material.[^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]: [NASA-UAP-D033, International Space Station External High-Definition Camera Observation, 2017 remote release asset](https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/080726/release_05/documents/NASA-UAP-D033.pdf)","readingTime":"1 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-05-021-nasa-uap-d033-international-space-station-external-high-definition-camera-o","title":"NASA-UAP-D033, International Space Station External High-Definition Camera Observation, 2017","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-05-021-nasa-uap-d033-international-space-station-external-high-definition-camera-o","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
