RFK Files, UAP Records, and More
The National Archives continues to deliver for the American people by making more government records available. We released the first tranche of Records Related to the Assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy through a web page dedicated to these records. The release of the first 10,000 pages fulfills part of President Trump’s maximum transparency promise in Executive Order 14176. Visit Archives.gov/RFK to explore the records.
Acting Archivist of the United States Secretary Marco Rubio was at the National Archives at College Park on Wednesday, April 23. The Archivist viewed iconic artifacts spanning 250 years of American history and visited the Digitization Lab to receive a briefing on the ongoing digitization efforts related to Executive Order 14176.
On Thursday, April 24, The National Archives released Records Related to Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) at the National Archives. These records and their release fulfill the National Archives’ requirement in the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act to establish the ‘‘Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection.”
Additionally, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library released 25 boxes of newly declassified National Security Council records, which are now open and available to the public. These include records related to the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, negotiations to end the Vietnam War, diplomacy with the People’s Republic of China, and more.
