War.gov/UFO Portal Logs 340 Million Hits in 12 Hours, Approaches 500 Million in 24

Department of War spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed on 9 May 2026 that war.gov/UFO, the public-facing repository for the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE), recorded approximately 340 million visits in the first 12 hours after launch and close to 500 million in the first 24. The traffic figure is the first quantitative public-engagement metric tied to the 8 May tranche release and exceeds same-window engagement for any prior Department of War transparency action. The portal hosts the 162 files of the initial PURSUE tranche (120 PDFs, 28 videos, 14 images) sourced from the FBI, DoD, NASA and the State Department. The Department of War committed to rolling tranches every few weeks; Representative Anna Paulina Luna's 46-video list is expected in a subsequent release.
