National Archives UAP Record Uploads - Lemmy.World

The National Archives uploaded their first batch of transferred UAP records on 04/24/25. Records from the FAA, NRC, ODNI, and OSD are the only agencies included so far. This release mirrors the responses I have received so far from my contacts and FOIA requests to federal agencies. Of agencies to complete my FOIA requests for lists of UAP records identified for transfer to NARA, only the FAA and NRC yielded any results. The records uploaded to NARA’s site for ODNI have previously been released and most of the OSD’s records have been previously been released. Records are being sent to NARA on a rolling basis and there could potentially be more to come for these and other agencies. Though, this release highlights the issue of lack of visibility on the progress and communication between agencies and NARA. Are there additional records that NARA has received that are publicly available, but not uploaded? Are there agencies that have confirmed to NARA that they do not have records to transfer? How many agencies have identified records that will be withheld from release? I have been seeking to have the metadata spreadsheets of records identified by each agency be made publicly available so that the progress of transfers can be tracked. However, NARA has often dodged this request. At this time, the public just has to wait and hope that work is being down to insure records are being transferred. Let’s take a look at what we have with this first batch… # Federal Aviation Administration In the spreadsheet released in response to my FOIA there were 651 records that the FAA had identified for transfer, but only 575 uploaded to NARA’s site. 13 of these records were marked as “Confidential” and to be “Withheld in Full” with the exemption “Full Denial-- (SORN 845, 847, Privacy Act; K2 Exemption, FOIA Ex.3, Ex.6”. These are from the FAA Hotline & Whistleblower Information System (FHWIS), so naturally there could be identifying information that may need to be redacted. However, instead of releasing redacted documents, the FAA seems to be opting to fully withhold these records. This leaves 62 records that are “Unclassified”, but not uploaded to NARA’s site. There also doesn’t seem to be placeholder pages identifying that NARA has possession of the records, but that they are not currently available online. All records being transferred as part of this record transfer are to be digitized before being sent to NARA, so if NARA has them then they could have been uploaded with the rest. This suggests that these records were not transferred with the rest or they’re a part of contention between the FAA and NARA, as we’ll see with the NRC. # Nuclear Regulatory Commission The NRC released 3 records which match the 3 records listed in the spreadsheet released in response to my FOIA. These have also been previously available on NRC’s ADAMs database. https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2423/ML24234A061.pdf [https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2423/ML24234A061.pdf] https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2424/ML24241A137.pdf [https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2424/ML24241A137.pdf] https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2424/ML24241A242.pdf [https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2424/ML24241A242.pdf] Though, more importantly, there is a second list that is being withheld. As noted in the response to my FOIA: > “The first list is enclosed; the second list is withheld at this time, as it remains the subject of deliberations between NRC and NARA records staff.” This was to be expected, as the NDAA left open room for records to be transferred to NARA, but withheld from public release. However, no information is being shared on the type of records or even how many are being withheld. # Office of the Director of National Intelligence NARA has uploaded 4 ODNI records, all of which have been previously released. - Fiscal Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena - Fiscal Year 2023 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena October 2023 - Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena - 2022 Annual Report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena # Office of the Secretary of Defense NARA has uploaded 30 OSD records, of which 5 are potentially new to the public and 25 have previously been released. It’s also possible that some are too new to have been added online or they could have been a part of previous FOIA releases. I’ll provide updates if I come across any reference to these online. ## Potentially New Releases - Mission Brief AARO - DGI Conference - AARO Trifold 2024 - 2023 The U.S. Defense Department and its UAP Mission - 2025 AARO Trifold - DGI Presentation 2025 ## Previously Released - Fiscal Year 2023 Consolidated Annual Report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena previously released on ODNI’s website. - Physical Constraints on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena available since 2023. - AARO Historical Record Report Volume 1 previously released on AARO’s website. - SAPCO CAPCO MFR previously released on AARO’s website. - FY24-CONSOLIDATED-ANNUAL-REPORT-ON-UAP-508 previously released on ODNI’s website. - Go Fast Case Resolution Card with Appendix recently released on AARO’s website. - SASC Open Hearing Case 19Nov2024 previously released on AARO’s website. - Puerto Rico Case Resolution Card recently released on AARO’s website. - AARO Presentation for NASA Study Public Meeting 5.31.23 shown in a public meeting in 2023. - ORNL - Analysis of a Metallic Specimen previously released on AARO’s website. - Supplement to Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Analysis of a Metallic Specimen previously released on AARO’s website. - Timothy Phillips Biography previously released on AARO’s website. - Effect of Forced Perspective and Parallax View on UAP Observations previously released on AARO’s website. - Case Resolution of ‘Atmospheric Wakes’ previously released on AARO’s website. - Pensacola Case Resolution (Eglin) previously released on AARO’s website. - Case Resolution of ‘Southeast Asia Triangles’ previously released on AARO’s website. - Case Resolution of ‘Western United States’ previously released on AARO’s website. - Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) on Emerging Threats and Capabilities Briefing 2023 previously released on Senate’s website. - UAP Mission & Civil Aviation had a different version previously released on AARO’s website. - Trends as of 20Nov23 previously released on AARO’s website. - Public UAP Sightings and The Environment: An Analysis for Sky View Potential a previously released scientific report. - AARO Satellite Flaring Paper recently released on AARO’s website. - Open Hearing Briefing previously released on AARO’s website. - 2023 The U.S. Defense Department and its UAP Mission Slides previously released on AARO’s website. - Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) on Emerging Threats and Capabilities Briefing Slides 2023 previously released on AARO’s website.

National Archives: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection

National Archives: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection - Lemmy.World

The National Archives (NARA) has released their initial batch of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) records transferred as a result of the 2024 NDAA. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), and Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) now have UAP records publicly available on the National Archives website. However, these are not complete records for these agencies, nor are all federal agencies accounted for. I have been reaching out to federal agencies for some time now and have submitted FOIA requests at the request of these agencies. Of the agencies I have contacted, only two have provided results to my FOIAs. The FAA provided a list of 651 records being transferred, of which 575 seem to be uploaded. And, the NRC provided 3 records, but noted that another list is “withheld at this time, as it remains the subject of deliberations between NRC and NARA records staff.” The records released by ODNI and OSD appear to be records previously released by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). It was confirmed to me by the Air Force/Space Force that all Department of Defense (DoD) UAP records will be transferred to AARO, who will then transfer to NARA. This creates a bottleneck for the defense records at AARO where additional records could be withheld or delayed. I have a list on Substack [https://hm05uap.substack.com/p/uap-record-transfer-status-04112025] of agencies I have contacted and the responses received so far. Naturally, this update came while I’m on vacation, so I’ll dig into these more once I return.
