DOW-UAP-D104, Final Personnel Record for Newhouse, Delbert C., U.S. Navy, 1957
This file contains the final personnel record of U.S. Navy Chief Warrant Officer Delbert C. Newhouse, who left naval service as a Chief Warrant Officer 4, then the highest Warrant Officer grade. In July 1952, Newhouse recorded 16mm motion-picture film near Tremonton, Utah; the film later became the subject of a Project Blue Book investigation. Project Blue Book was the U.S. Air Force program active from 1952 to 1969 that investigated the nature and origin of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). In addition to documenting routine assignments and training, the file records Newhouse’s career progression as a Photographer’s Mate, a Navy enlisted specialty responsible for photography and related imaging work. Project Blue Book investigators characterized Newhouse as an expert photographer based on his naval experience.

Where this file fits in the PURSUE archive
This file is one of DoD's 282 files in the Trump PURSUE disclosure. Within the DoD agency block it ranks #158 of 282 by Anomalousness Index. Across the entire 478-file archive it ranks #282 of 478.
That places it in the lower-scoring band of the archive (282 of 478 by score), typical of investigative-record style files where the report is paper-based rather than instrumented.
Anomalousness Index: 56/100
This is a reference document, not an encounter report, so the index has no encounter to measure here. The value above is the rubric's default for a document that describes no event, shown so every file in the archive can be ranked the same way. Not a probability of extraterrestrial origin - that number is not honestly computable from the released files and this tracker refuses to publish it.
🤖 AI-ASSISTED SCORING · methodology
The six rubric components break down for this file as follows. Each component has a weighted contribution to the final score; the per-component explanation below describes what this file's particular value on that component means in the rubric's framework.
This file is a reference document, not an observation, so no sensor, camera, or witness captured anything. The rubric's sensor axis has no not-applicable option, so a document with no instrument record sits on its lowest tier by default.
There is no witness: this is a document released by the Department of War, not a first-hand account. The rubric assigns this axis from the originating body, so the value reflects the source of the record, not anyone's testimony.
Nothing is being corroborated, because the file does not report an event. Like every file in the archive it takes the rubric's single-source default.
The file describes no object and no motion, so the kinematic axis takes the archive-wide 'no kinematic data' default.
Every file in the archive scores this tier. For a document that describes no event it carries no information about the record at all.
The rubric's default for the file's release status (files released with redactions are catalogued as unresolved, unredacted ones as open). For a document that reports no event this describes how the file was released, not anything that happened.
Bottom line on the score: the 56/100 is the rubric's default for a document that reports no encounter, so it is not a finding about any event and should not be compared with the scores of sighting reports. For the full per-axis weights and the rubric JSON, see /methodology.
