Worth Revisiting
The National Archives’ Record Group 615 is the dedicated Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection created under the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act. Its current agency listings include records from the FAA, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ODNI, Office of the Secretary of Defense, NSA, State Department, and FBI.
NARA says agencies are transferring digital copies on a rolling basis and that publicly releasable records will be linked through the catalog. Presence in the collection establishes provenance and custody; it does not mean every observation or interpretation contained in a record has been independently verified.
Why it matters
A stable catalog, agency attribution, metadata, and downloadable files make it easier to distinguish an authentic government record from what the record actually proves.
