From Project Blue Book to AARO: The National Archives’ Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Collection in RG 615 (2024 NDAA)
To the point
National Archives has created the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection (RG 615) to centralize and preserve multi‑agency UAP records under the 2024 NDAA, requiring agencies to transfer digital copies with metadata by September 30, 2025 and to continue rolling transfers as needed, expanding the scope to include airborne, submerged, and transmedium phenomena and related technologies, while originals stay in agency records and public access is provided via the National Archives Catalog with redactions, all to make UAP documentation a transparent, systematically preserved part of national history beyond Project Blue Book in a post‑AARO era.
