NARA Publications about UFO and UAP Records

Common questions

What is the NARA UAP publications sub-page?

It is a curated bibliography page at the National Archives and Records Administration titled "Publications about Records Related to Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) at the National Archives." It gathers links to NARA-authored writing about the agency's UFO/UAP holdings, and indexes published items rather than the records themselves.

Which record groups and collections does the page index?

The NARA source page includes a background section and an overview of the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection, referencing the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, the agency's AC Memo 04.2025 on transferring publicly releasable UAP records, Record Group 615, and the collection's photographic, moving-image, sound-recording, textual, and microfilm formats. The bibliography itself is organized into sections for Blog Posts, News Articles, Online Exhibits, and Web Pages, with blog entries grouped under The NDC Blog, Pieces of History, and The Unwritten Record.

Can I view or download the documents through this archive entry?

No. This entry is a neutral, link-only index of the NARA source page; it does not host or read the underlying documents. The page links to published writing such as "Saucers Over Washington: the History of Project Blue Book" and "The Roswell Reports: What crashed in the desert?," and points to NARA's standard reference and media inquiry channels for obtaining materials.

Is this entry an official National Archives product or a statement about the nature of UAP?

No. This entry is not an official National Archives product. It asserts no conclusion beyond the linked sources and makes no claim about the nature or origin of the phenomena described.
