Presidential libraries add another route into the federal UAP record
Worth Revisiting: NARA’s dedicated guide links UFO and UAP material across presidential collections rather than leaving researchers to guess which administration held what.

Worth Revisiting
The U.S. National Archives maintains a dedicated page for UFO- and UAP-related holdings across presidential libraries, organized by administration with direct links into the National Archives Catalog. The guide includes records from the Herbert Hoover, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama libraries where material is available.
Presidential holdings may contain letters, staff correspondence, agency briefings, public inquiries, policy material, or records transferred from executive offices. Their presence in a presidential library shows custody and administrative context; it does not mean the president investigated or endorsed each underlying claim.
Why it matters
A cross-library index helps researchers trace how the subject entered executive correspondence and policy channels across administrations without relying on isolated quotations or partisan timelines.
What the source establishes
NARA’s page is an official finding aid and is updated as more records become available. Availability varies by collection, and catalog inclusion does not certify the claims within a record.
