Brief
This is the National Archives landing page for Record Group 615, the dedicated archival collection for UAP-related government documents. The group was created pursuant to Sections 1841 through 1843 of the FY2024 NDAA to receive, organize, and publicly disclose UAP records transferred from federal agencies. It is the first archival collection at NARA dedicated to UAP material. The page itself is an HTML collection index rather than an extractable document, so no verbatim source text is available for quotation.

Most interesting

- The FY2024 NDAA sections that created the group (1841 through 1843) are the same statutory provisions that set the transfer and disclosure framework agencies are now operating under.
- The collection page is the public-facing front door for the May 2026 Department of War tranche and any future inter-agency UAP transfers.
