The Department of War declassified and released it as part of PURSUE Release 05 on August 7, 2026, under Section 1842 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024. [^1][^2][^3]\n\n<PDF src=\"https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/080726/release_05/documents/NASA-UAP-D034.pdf\" />\n\n## Provenance and Content\n\nThe memorandum was produced by NASA's Space Shuttle Anomaly Evaluation Working Group. It reviews optical tracking data and ice-debris particle dynamics from shuttle missions, including STS-80, and covers sensor captures from those flights that the working group could not resolve. The version released under PURSUE Release 05 retains the observable data while withholding whatever material remains restricted.[^1][^2][^3]\n\n## What the Record Supports\n\nThe document shows NASA's own working group evaluating shuttle-flight sensor anomalies against known ice-debris behavior, not a claim of anomalous origin. Some of the captures reviewed remained unresolved at the time the summary was written.[^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-D034, Space Shuttle Anomaly Evaluation Working Group Technical Summary, 1998 remote release asset](https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/080726/release_05/documents/NASA-UAP-D034.pdf)","readingTime":"1 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-05-022-nasa-uap-d034-space-shuttle-anomaly-evaluation-working-group-technical-summ","title":"NASA-UAP-D034, Space Shuttle Anomaly Evaluation Working Group Technical Summary, 1998","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-05-022-nasa-uap-d034-space-shuttle-anomaly-evaluation-working-group-technical-summ","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
