About this archive

The UAP Records Archive is an independent, neutral web archive that indexes official U.S.-government records on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Each record links to the primary source at the National Archives (NARA), AARO, ODNI, or NASA. The archive links to those sources and does not host the documents themselves. It is independent and is not an official or government source.

Citing a specific record

Every record page includes a citation panel with a plain-text and BibTeX citation that references the official source. Open the record at /uap/records/<id>/ and copy the citation shown there. When you cite a record, please also cite the underlying official source it links to.
