October 29 — Two charter pilots report a silver pill over Ohio
SAYS HE SAW IT. Coast to Coast’s Tim Binnall posted the account on October 29. On August 16, the captain of an empty private charter and his co-pilot were flying over Ohio when they saw a silvery, pill-shaped object that seemed almost standing still, or slowing down, as it passed their plane. They first thought weather balloon. The nearest air-traffic tower told them nothing on radar could account for it. The object’s reported distance was about five nautical miles, and the plane’s traffic-collision box never tripped. A NUFORC investigator later heard the captain describe the surface as silver and highly reflective, like pure polished metal, bouncing sunlight rather than glowing on its own. The whole look lasted about two minutes. They snapped a couple of pictures. This desk has not authenticated the file.
The collision box never made a sound.

October 26 — Bright orbs parked over downtown Portland
WITNESS VIDEO. Coast to Coast’s Tim Binnall posted a clip from Portland, Oregon, on October 26. An Oregonian man told the National UFO Reporting Center he saw three bright white orbs over downtown on the evening of October 9. He said they hovered about an hour, then floated south one by one. A couple of minutes later two more appeared in the same spot and hovered another hour. He put them no higher than 5,000 feet, with no red or green lights, and said a flight-tracking app showed no air traffic that would explain them. Three other people watched with him. Coast to Coast wrote that the long hover would seem to preclude ordinary airport traffic. This desk has not authenticated the file.
The second shift used the same parking space.

October 23 — PURSUE Release 07 is on the table
OPEN. The Department of War posted PURSUE Release 07 on October 23 at war.gov/UFO. Spokesman Sean Parnell said it is the seventh drop of declassified and historical UAP files, with more coming on a rolling basis. AARO pointed to the same page. The site still files these as unresolved cases. The government has not said what the objects were.
New titles on the official table include an AARO memorandum on a triangular UAP in the western United States in June 2026, an FBI FD-302 from the same month and region, Catalina Island reports from 1949 through 1955, a 1957 air intelligence report from Saudi Arabia, and a 2010 Utah Ranch investigation report. The New York Post, briefed Thursday, wrote that an FBI report timed black triangles over secret military bases at 1.5 miles in three seconds, about 1,800 mph, with no sound and no vapor trail. NewsNation wrote that three reports describe a black triangle about 9 feet long with a 13-foot wingspan, 200 to 300 feet up. This desk has not independently authenticated those readings against the PDFs.
The sketches went out. The photographs did not.

The open cabinet
The Department of War posts declassified UAP records at war.gov/UFO, under the name PURSUE. Release 07 went up on October 23, 2026. AARO keeps its own site at aaro.mil. A newer drop belongs above this note, not inside it.
October 14 — A dark object hung over Saltillo for about five hours
WITNESS VIDEO. Yoel Jesús Dávila posted the recording on the Facebook page Avistamientos Coahuilenses. He said the object stayed in view on Sunday, October 11, near the Escuela Forestal in Saltillo, from about 1 p.m. to about 6 p.m. Vanguardia published the clip. Coast to Coast wrote it up on October 14. In the footage a dark object descends, then climbs. People watching it said craft, drone, or balloon. This desk has not authenticated the file.
Five hours is a long time to watch one dot.

October 5 — Three quiet lights over Wolverhampton
WITNESS VIDEO. Coast to Coast reported a clip filmed August 23 in Wolverhampton, England. Three lights moved slowly and quietly, about north to south. The witness told the Mutual UFO Network that their mother saw the lights first while letting the dog out, and that the witness then saw them too. The lights kept their places relative to each other. The witness said they could not see a structure connecting them, and they did not see a sudden acceleration. This page does not have a stable copy of the clip, so there is no embed.
The dog got the first look.

October 18 — Jay Stratton told Bret Baier he has seen non-human beings
SAYS HE SAW IT. Coast to Coast reported that Jay Stratton, former director of the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force, told Fox News anchor Bret Baier that he has seen non-human craft and beings. He also said the U.S. government and defense contractors have craft of non-human origin and are trying to reverse-engineer them. That is his account. The interview is not a recovered object, and this page does not have one.
He answered yes. The argument did not end there.

October 16 — Some of the Pentagon’s unresolved dots flap
OPEN. Avi Loeb wrote on October 16 that his group measured sensor videos declassified under PURSUE. He says more than 8 percent of them match the wing-flap rate of birds, including clips still labeled unresolved. He counts 10 videos and 25 bird candidates. That is his group’s measurement. This page has not seen AARO adopt it.
Some of the unresolved dots appear to flap. Flapping is a very ordinary way to stay in the air.

October 16 — AARO sat down with Uruguay’s UFO office
OPEN. USA Herald reported that FOIA records show AARO arranged a meeting inside the Pentagon on August 4, 2025, with CRIDOVNI, Uruguay’s official UAP office, the day before an AARO workshop. The story says the attendee list includes CRIDOVNI twice and a separate “Australian Government” line with no agency named. Uruguay’s director says a cooperation agreement is being developed, and that it could include shared investigations, data, software, and equipment. The meeting was in 2025. The records are what is new.
The interesting part of a UFO story is sometimes a calendar.

October 13 — Northern Israel sirens, then a balloon assessment
CLOSED. On Saturday, October 10, an unidentified object set off sirens in Arab al-Aramshe, near the Lebanese border. The Times of Israel reported on October 13 that the Israeli military, after a review, said the object was most likely a balloon or something that floats on hot air. The military said it was not a drone or UAV. It also said the origin, the purpose, and the size are not settled, and the object has not been found.
The sirens were real. Nobody has the object in a bag.
