The record was declassified and released publicly as part of PURSUE Release 05 on August 7, 2026, pursuant to Section 1842 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024.

Official metadata identifies it as the second frame in a sequence captured by an external camera on the International Space Station, taken while the station was in low Earth orbit in April 2017.[^1][^2][^3]\n\n## Sensor Observation\n\nThis frame follows the first capture in the sequence and records the same target's velocity vector and luminosity profile across the interval between exposures. NASA reviewed the sensor data for public release and retained the observable characteristics of the object in the frame.[^1][^2][^3]\n\n## What the Record Supports\n\nThe two-frame sequence lets a viewer compare the object's position and brightness between exposures, but the record does not identify the object or state its origin.[^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-D036, ISS External Camera High-Resolution Frame 2, 2017 remote release asset](https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/080726/release_05/documents/NASA-UAP-D036.jpg)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-05-024-nasa-uap-d036-iss-external-camera-high-resolution-frame-2-2017","title":"NASA-UAP-D036, ISS External Camera High-Resolution Frame 2, 2017","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-05-024-nasa-uap-d036-iss-external-camera-high-resolution-frame-2-2017","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
