Records Related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) at the National Archives

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has established an ‘‘Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection,” per sections 1841–1843 of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 118-31).  

Record groups (RG) and collections are the highest level of archival description. Record group numbers are assigned by NARA to large organizations, such as Federal Departments or Agencies. For example NARA has assigned RG 255 to the records of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

National Archives Identifiers (NAID) are unique numbers assigned to all descriptions in the National Archives Catalog. NAIDs can be assigned at all levels of description, from record groups down to individual items.
