Background
The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act requires federal agencies to transfer digital copies of all UAP records to NARA. Agencies have begun transferring materials to NARA on a rolling basis. See AC Memo 04.2025: Transfer of Publicly Releasable Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Records.
NARA issued guidance to federal agencies regarding identification, preparation, and transfer of UAP records into Record Group 615. NARA will continue to add to the UAP Records Collection (RG 615) and make the records available online through the National Archives Catalog on an ongoing, rolling basis as they are transferred from federal agencies.
