Common questions

What is this NARA sub-page?

It is a sub-page maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) titled "Records Related to Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) at the National Archives: Presidential Library Holdings." According to the page, NARA holds records related to UFO and UAP investigations, sightings, and reporting across multiple Presidential Libraries, and the page lists those presidential records as described in the National Archives Catalog. NARA states the page is organized by Presidential Library, links to featured content in the Catalog, and will be updated as new records are made available online.

Which libraries and collections does the page index?

As listed on the page, the indexed libraries are the Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, William J. Clinton, and George W. Bush Libraries. The entries reference named collections and personal papers (for example the Bourke B. Hickenlooper Papers, the Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Papers, the Papers of Drew Pearson, and the Gerald R. Ford Congressional Papers) alongside White House central and records-management files, National Security Council records, oral histories, presidential photographs, and electronic-mail series, with each item identified by its National Archives Identifier.
