Role in UAP Records
The Government Accountability Office (known as the General Accounting Office until 2004) is the nonpartisan audit and investigative arm of the U.S. Congress. At the request of members of Congress it has examined federal record-keeping on UAP/UFO matters — most notably its 1995 search for government records concerning the 1947 crash near Roswell, New Mexico. These records document oversight of federal recordkeeping, not investigations of the phenomena themselves.
