Coulthart Explains DoD UAP NDA Waiver Limits to PURSUE Only

Sep 20, 2026

In the NewsNation segment, investigative journalist Ross Coulthart breaks down recent U.S. government mechanisms for UAP-related disclosures. He describes provisions allowing current and former Department of Defense (referred to as Department of War) military members, civilians, and contractors to share classified UAP information from special access programs with the Presidential Records Unsealing Initiative (PURSUE), without violating NDAs. Coulthart stresses this is limited to confidential submissions to the executive branch for review and potential declassification. He notes parallel but slightly distinct rules for the intelligence community established by a memo from Aaron Lukas (also spelled Lucas in some reports) of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence about a month prior. The segment emphasizes these are not blanket waivers for public discussion.
