Press Release · Thursday, April 24, 2025

Washington, DC

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) today released new records related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). These records were transferred to the National Archives from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in accordance with sections 1841–1843 of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 118-31). They are now part of the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Collection at the National Archives. 

The release of these UAP records is part of the National Archives’ priority to maximize transparency, ensuring that this information is made available to the American people. NARA will continue to add UAP records to the Collection and make them available online through the National Archives Catalog on an ongoing, rolling basis as they are transferred from federal agencies.
