AARO UAP Records and Information Papers
AARO points researchers to NARA UFO/UAP records, NASA UAP study materials, KONA BLUE records, ORNL material-analysis synopses, declassification context, and misidentification papers such as satellite flaring and parallax.
Pentagon Historical Navy UAP Videos
The Department of Defense release for the historical Navy videos remains the highest-value official source for searches around "ufo files pentagon" and early public UAP video context.
Official source guide
Source material by agency
Pentagon/AARO, NASA, CIA, FBI, and National Archives material is organized into research paths. Each card keeps its official source links visible for verification.
Pentagon / AARO
Current U.S. government UAP source layer: recent AARO report documents, official imagery, historical Navy videos, records hub, and public misidentification papers.
NASA
NASA provides the scientific framing: better data collection, calibrated sensors, open methods, and careful separation of unknown observations from extraordinary conclusions.
CIA / FBI / NARA
Historic document repositories are useful for original UFO records, but they need context: a file being real does not mean the claim inside it is confirmed.
