Friday July 10th: Department of War drops forty more Pursue files spanning 1948 to last year. Tonight Jeremy and Jake go through all of it.
The centerpiece is a 77-year-old transcript that sat classified until last Friday. On February 16th, 1949, Edward Teller, Lincoln La Paz, and the Los Alamos lab director convened a secret meeting about green fireballs streaking silently over their own nuclear installations. By the end, even Teller couldn't explain the horizontal flight path. The lab director closed the meeting admitting it remained unexplained. That meeting created Project Twinkle, a network of observation posts built to catch these things on instruments. It was shut down before it could.
Seventy years later: an unidentified object over the Pantex plant near Amarillo, Texas, the country's primary nuclear weapons assembly facility. Radar, trained witnesses, cameras, and video all converging on the same object above a nuclear weapons site with no explanation.
Also in the release: a photograph from the space shuttle Columbia, a 28-year Air Force and Navy veteran who saw something unlike anything in his career, and a Harvard astrophysicist revealing his science council has requested 50 additional files the Pentagon still hasn't handed over.
