The collection requires agencies to review, identify, and transmit relevant records for public disclosure, explicitly including materials on unidentified anomalous phenomena, technologies of unknown origin, and non-human intelligence. It serves as a centralized repository pursuant to the NDAA, encompassing historical and contemporary documents. Transferred records to date include annual reports, historical reviews, and other materials that address (and in many cases refute) claims of crash retrievals or recovered biologics, such as AARO findings of no verifiable evidence for such programs. The archive does not itself endorse any specific claims but preserves the official record of government investigations and denials.
