UAP Records Collection opens at the National Archives (Record Group 615)
The 2024 defence bill (NDAA FY2024, section 1841) ordered every federal agency to find its UFO and UAP records and hand copies to the National Archives. NARA created a new record group, RG 615, to hold them. By 2026 it had nine series from the FAA, Pentagon, ODNI, NSA, FBI, State Department, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Customs and Border Protection and the Air Force.
