Records from the Office of the Secretary of Defense Relating to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (RG 615 collection)

Per the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 118-31), NARA established Record Group 615 as a dedicated UAP Records Collection. Agencies are required to identify, review, and transfer publicly releasable records relating to unidentified anomalous phenomena, technologies of unknown origin, and non-human intelligence (excluding temporarily non-attributed objects). The collection includes records from OSD, ODNI, NSA, Department of State, FBI, Department of the Air Force, and others. As of the latest updates, it incorporates annual UAP reports, historical cables, and assessments. The collection is being digitized and made available on an ongoing basis through the National Archives Catalog, with the goal of comprehensive public access to official UAP documentation while protecting national security information through standard declassification processes.
