白宫公布第七批UAP解密文件：加州Catalina Island目击记录在列 含1952年童子军报告
美国联邦政府10月23日周五通过「总统UAP解密与报告系统」（Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters，简称 PURSUE）公布第七批不明异常现象（UAP）解密文件。加州 Santa Catalina Island 的多份历史目击记录在列，包括一份1952年的空军情报报告。（GSM 据《纽约邮报》报道）
据《纽约邮报》报道，该报等多家媒体的记者周四已听取高级政府官员的提前简报。文件中的一份空军情报报告记载：1952年8月25日中午时分，三名童子军在 Catalina Island 的 Camp Fox 附近山区徒步时，看到一个「银色物体」，其移动速度「比常规喷气式飞机更快」；当时天气晴朗，三名目击者无法估算该物体的高度、速度和距离。报告还提到，目击者在报告背面画下了一幅该物体的草图，但这幅草图至今下落不明，档案人员搜寻数十年未果。
另一份文件是一封日期为1947年5月1日的手写信，署名 Percy E. Mackey。信中写道，1947年4月28日晚约8时，他的妻子与一名学校教师先看到六个物体「不是编队、而是单个地」飞过；几分钟后到了女儿家，他与女儿、外孙又看到四个物体朝同一方向飞去。官方对这起目击的结论是「数据不足，无法评估」。据当地历史刊物《The Catalina Islander》的记载，1947年7月8日下午约1时，三名到访的陆军航空队退伍军人还报告在 Avalon 上空看到六个「飞碟」编队飞行，随后消失在 East Peak 上空，目击者之一 Alvio Russo 估计其时速约850英里；另一名目击者、航拍摄影师 Bob Jung 称自己拍下了其中一个物体，照片曾刊于《Los Angeles Examiner》。
据哈佛大学天文学家 Avi Loeb 对本批公开文件的梳理，第七批共包括28份 PDF 文件，与此前几批不同、本批不含视频；其中包括一份关于犹他州 Skinwalker Ranch 的2009年3月月度报告，以及一份1963年5月的白宫层级文件，内容涉及是否应向公众说明回收到的太空飞行器碎片，当时美国国家航空航天局 NASA 国际关系负责人 Arnold Fruitkin 认为白宫声明会「不必要地吓到公众」。
PURSUE 是特朗普政府为分批解密 UAP 记录设立的公开渠道，文件由战争部等机构陆续发布。据《纽约邮报》报道，周五的公布是该系统的第七批，后续预计还有更多文件陆续公开。已公布材料中，不少案件因数据不完整而未有定论。
White House Releases Seventh Tranche of UAP Files: Catalina Island Sightings, Including a 1952 Boy Scout Report, Among the Records
The U.S. federal government on Friday, October 23, released the seventh tranche of declassified records on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) through the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, known as PURSUE. Among the records are several historical sighting reports from Santa Catalina Island, California, including a 1952 Air Force intelligence report. (GSM, based on reporting by the New York Post)
According to the New York Post, its reporters and a small group of other journalists were briefed by senior government officials on Thursday ahead of the release. One Air Force intelligence report in the files describes an alleged encounter on August 25, 1952: three Boy Scouts hiking in the mountains of Catalina Island near Camp Fox at noon Pacific time saw an "object silver in color" that moved "faster than a conventional jet." The weather was clear, and the Scouts could not estimate the object's altitude, speed or distance. The report also notes that a sketch of the object drawn on the back of the original report is missing and remains unaccounted for despite searches through decades of archives.
Another file is a handwritten letter dated May 1, 1947, signed by Percy E. Mackey. The letter says that at about 8 p.m. on April 28, 1947, his wife and a school teacher saw six objects in the sky, "not in a group, but singly," and minutes later, at his daughter's home, the family saw four more traveling in the same direction. The official conclusion on that sighting was "insufficient data for evaluation." A historical account published by The Catalina Islander also records that on July 8, 1947, at about 1 p.m., three visiting Army Air Force veterans reported six "flying discs" in formation over Avalon that disappeared over East Peak; one witness, Alvio Russo, estimated their speed at 850 mph, and former aerial photographer Bob Jung said he photographed one of the objects, in an image published by the Los Angeles Examiner.
In a review of the newly posted files, Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb noted that the seventh tranche contains 28 PDF files and, unlike earlier tranches, no videos. The files include a March 2009 monthly report concerning Skinwalker Ranch in Utah and a May 1963 White House-level report on whether to tell the public about recovered space-vehicle fragments, in which Arnold Fruitkin, NASA's chief of international relations, argued that a White House statement would scare people needlessly.
PURSUE is the public channel the Trump administration set up for rolling releases of UAP records, published by the Department of War and other agencies. Friday's disclosure is the system's seventh tranche, the New York Post reported, with more files expected to follow. Many of the released cases remain unresolved because the underlying data are incomplete.
