PURSUE Release 01: 18_6369445_General_1948_Vol_1

Department of War PURSUE Release 01 lists this record as row 18, with an incident date of June 15, 1948.¹ The release summary describes the file as memorandums, correspondence, and forms about reporting information on flying discs and investigating sightings.¹ Its value is in preserving the official paperwork trail rather than offering a later narrative with conclusions added after the fact.²

  Release Index and PDF

This record should be read as a release index entry tied to the remote PDF asset, with the CSV supplying the official label and link.¹ Its source context matters because it places early flying-disc reports inside routine government correspondence and forms, showing how sightings became administrative records before later retellings reshaped the subject.²

  Early Flying-Disc Paper Trail

The volume is useful as a baseline record for how early flying-disc information was collected, forwarded, and held in official files. It helps separate documented process from later interpretation: the release identifies paperwork about reports and investigations, not a finished explanatory finding.¹
