Government Documents
38 items · 2 videos · updates automatically
Government documents dealing with UFOs include various types of material: reports from military personnel and civilians, memos, photographs, and archival records. The mere existence or release of a document indicates documentation or investigation, but does not, in itself, prove what was seen in the sky or what its origin was.
On this page, you'll find publications and articles about American and other documents, including military files, public records, and materials, some of which have been redacted or do not include full details. The articles discuss what is written in the documents, their context, and the questions that remain open.

Common questions about Government Documents
What are government documents about UFOs?
These are records, files, memos, reports, or photographs created or maintained by government and military bodies, dealing with unidentified aerial phenomena. Their content and the quality of the information within them vary from document to document.
Do government documents prove that UFOs are alien spacecraft?
No. A document can record a report or an investigation of an unidentified phenomenon, but the mere documentation does not determine the origin of the phenomenon.
Where can I find government documents about UFOs?
Some materials are published by government agencies or kept in public archives. On our site, you'll find articles about released documents and records, and the details they contain.
Why are some UFO documents redacted?
Released documents may contain hidden sections or missing details. Redaction limits the information available to readers, making it not always possible to infer the full context from the document.
What can be learned from military reports on UFOs?
Reports may show what was observed, who reported it, and what investigations were conducted, if these details appear in the record. They do not always include a conclusion or information that allows for the identification of the phenomenon.
