war.gov PURSUE Release 02 – AFSWP Document: 209 UAP Sightings New Mexico 1948–1950

A 116-page document from the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project (AFSWP) – the predecessor of the Defense Nuclear Agency – documents 209 sightings of 'Green Orbs', 'Discs', and 'Fireballs' near military bases in New Mexico between 1948 and 1950. DoW description: 'This file contains 209 sightings of green orbs, discs, and fireballs reported near the military base. Witnesses reported unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) maneuvering, flying out of sight, disappearing, or exploding.' Historical significance: The AFSWP was responsible for the administration of all U.S. nuclear weapons. The concentration of UAP sightings near nuclear weapons sites (New Mexico = Trinity, Los Alamos, White Sands, Holloman AFB) confirms the nuclear-UAP nexus thesis. Connection to Dr. Lincoln LaPaz (FBI 62-HQ-83894), who documented the same sightings from a civilian perspective. Source: war.gov/UFO (Release 02, AFSWP document), CBS News, Fox Baltimore.
