About UFO Files Archive

An independent archive making declassified UAP documents accessible, searchable, and understandable.

Our Story

Why We Built This

On May 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of War released the first batch of declassified UAP documents under the PURSUE initiative — 158 files spanning FBI investigations, NASA mission records, Pentagon operational reports, and State Department cables. It was a historic moment for transparency.

But accessing these documents was difficult. The official war.gov portal, while authoritative, was hard to navigate. Files were buried in nested directories, lacked metadata, and had no search. For researchers, journalists, or anyone simply curious about the UFO files released in 2026, finding relevant documents felt like searching a filing cabinet in the dark.

UFO Files Archive was built to fix that. We downloaded the metadata, organized everything into topics and categories, and added AI-generated summaries so you can understand what a document contains before opening a 50-page PDF. We don't host the files ourselves — every document links directly to its official source on war.gov. We're just the map.

What We Do

How This Archive Works

We aggregate publicly released declassified UFO files from official government sources — primarily the Department of War's PURSUE releases, FBI Vault, NASA archives, and Pentagon UAP reports. Each file in our database includes:

  • A direct link to the original PDF or image on war.gov
  • Structured metadata: agency, date, classification, document type, region
  • An AI-generated briefing summarizing the document's contents and significance
  • Cross-references to related files and topic collections

You can browse by topic (like the FBI's 1947–1968 UFO investigation or NASA Apollo mission records), filter by agency, or search across all 158 documents.

Sources

Where the Documents Come From

Every document in this archive is sourced from official government releases. We do not create, modify, or fabricate any content. The primary sources include:

  • Department of War (PURSUE) — Mission reports and unresolved UAP documentation from military operations worldwide
  • FBI Vault — The complete 62-HQ-83894 case file on flying discs (1947–1968) including photographic evidence
  • NASA — Declassified Apollo, Gemini, and Skylab mission transcripts and video evidence
  • State Department — Diplomatic cables reporting UAP sightings from U.S. embassies

Each file entry links directly to its original source on war.gov or the respective agency portal. If you need official verification, we encourage you to check the primary source.

We're Not a Government Site

UFO Files Archive is an independent platform run by a small team of researchers and developers. We are not affiliated with any government agency, including the Department of War, Pentagon, FBI, NASA, or CIA.

We don't have special access, insider information, or hidden files. Everything here is sourced from publicly available government releases. Our only goal is to make these documents easier to find and understand.

This also means we don't speculate about extraterrestrial life or promote conspiracy theories. We present the documents as they were officially released, with context and summaries, and let you draw your own conclusions. Read our full disclaimer →

FAQ

Common Questions

Are these UFO files real?
Yes. All documents are sourced from official government releases, primarily war.gov. Each file links directly to its original source. We don't create or modify documents.
Can I download the original PDFs?
Absolutely. Every file entry includes a direct link to the original PDF, photo, or video on war.gov. We don't host files ourselves — we just organize and summarize them.
What does "unresolved" mean?
"Unresolved" is the official government designation for cases where AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) could not determine the nature of the observed object after analysis. It does not mean "alien" — it means "we don't know what this was."
Will more files be released?
Yes. Release 01 (May 2026) was just the beginning. AARO has announced plans for Release 02 (CIA/NSA records, Q3 2026), Release 03 (Navy/Air Force, Q4 2026), and Release 04 (Congressional briefings, Q1 2027). We'll add them as they're published.
