Coulthart on NewsNation Predicts PURSUE Second Tranche This Week, Friday 22 May Window

Journalist Ross Coulthart told NewsNation on 17 May 2026 that the next Pentagon Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) tranche could arrive as early as Friday 22 May 2026, following the Friday cadence set by the 8 May 2026 first drop. Coulthart cited Department of War spokesperson Sean Parnell's signalling and Representative Anna Paulina Luna's public statements that a second batch is on the way, including some of the 46 video files Luna formally requested in her 31 March 2026 letter to Secretary Pete Hegseth. The prediction sits alongside Luna's separately stated thirty-day expectation, which would point to a window closer to 7 to 8 June 2026. Coulthart's NewsNation appearance is the second such prediction he has made for a Friday tranche, after the 12 May 2026 Prime appearance flagged 15 May 2026 as a possible date. That window passed without a release on 15 May 2026.
