-<!-- ml-intern-provenance -->
-## Generated by ML Intern
+This dataset contains every page of the 120 PDF documents released by the U.S. Department of War on **May 8, 2026** as part of **Release 01** of the **Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE)**. Each PDF page has been rendered as a JPEG image at 200 DPI and paired with metadata extracted from the official release manifest.
 
-This dataset repository was generated by [ML Intern](https://github.com/huggingface/ml-intern), an agent for machine learning research and development on the Hugging Face Hub.

+## 🏛️ Source Data
+
+The source documents were downloaded from the official Department of War UFO/UAP release portal:
+
+- **Portal:** [https://www.war.gov/UFO/](https://www.war.gov/UFO/)
+- **Program:** Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE)
+- **Release:** Release 01 — "Cleared for release - May 8, 2026"
+- **Agencies represented:** FBI, NASA, Department of War, Department of State
+
+### Document Types
+
+The 120 PDFs include:
+- FBI investigative case files (62-HQ-83894 series)
+- Department of War historical records (1946–1955)
+- NASA mission transcripts and crew debriefings (Apollo, Gemini, Skylab)
+- Department of State diplomatic cables
+- Contemporary UAP mission reports (2020–2025)
+- Range fouler debriefs and reporting forms
+- Photographic evidence (FBI Photo B1–B24)
+
+## 🔧 Processing Steps
+
+1. **Download:** All 120 PDFs were downloaded from `war.gov/medialink/ufo/release_1/` using the official manifest.
+2. **Verification:** Each file was verified to start with the `%PDF-` magic bytes and have non-zero size.
+3. **Rendering:** Each PDF page was rendered to an image using [PyMuPDF](https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF) at **200 DPI**.
+4. **Encoding:** Images were encoded as **JPEG** with quality determined by the renderer's default settings.
+5. **Metadata pairing:** Each page was matched with metadata from the official release manifest (`pdf_manifest.tsv`).
+6. **Dataset creation:** Images and metadata were assembled into a Hugging Face `datasets` Dataset and exported as Parquet.
