Defense Press Operations

Defense Press Operations (DOPSR) is a U.S. government entity within the Department of Defense responsible for reviewing and authorizing the public release of classified defense-related information, including documents on UAP/UFO investigations. It appears in official DoD markings, such as on the AARO Historical Record Report Volume 1 (2024), which details U.S. government UFO efforts since 1945, including Projects SIGN, GRUDGE, and BLUE BOOK. No specific founding year is documented in available sources; it operates as a government administrative office. Key activities involve declassification oversight to ensure national security while enabling transparency on historical UAP programs like AARO, established in 2022. Notable achievements include facilitating releases that confirm no evidence of extraterrestrial technology in reviewed cases. Currently active as of 2024, supporting ongoing UAP disclosure amid congressional mandates.
