DOE PURSUE D001 — Unidentified Object at PANTEX Radar Tower
Dr. Voss's Analysis
DOE-UAP-D001 is the Department of Energy's first contributed record in the PURSUE program. It contains an unidentified object report with enhanced imagery from a radar tower at the PANTEX Plant — the United States' primary nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility, located near Amarillo, Texas, operated by DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The appearance of an unidentified object at PANTEX is consistent with the broader pattern of UAP observations reported near U.S. nuclear facilities, documented in Project Blue Book, congressional UAP testimony, and AARO case reviews. The incident date is not publicly disclosed in Release 02 metadata. The case is designated unresolved.
