UAP Records Collection at the National Archives

The FY2024 defence act ordered every agency to send its UAP records to the National Archives, which created Record Group 615.

The account

The provision was the surviving core of the Schumer–Rounds UAP Disclosure Act. Agencies must identify and transfer UAP records, which are to be released by default unless there's a specific reason to withhold them. NARA has opened a UAP records page and begun receiving transfers.

The sceptical view

The House stripped out the original act's independent review board and its eminent-domain claim over any recovered 'non-human' technology, so agencies largely judge their own records.
