GEIPAN
France is widely considered a pioneer in government transparency regarding UAPs. The government established GEIPAN (Group for the Study and Information of Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena), which operates directly under CNES (the French Space Agency). They rigorously investigate reports and maintain a massive, publicly accessible database of their findings, categorizing sightings from explained to completely unexplainable.
The link points to the documentation section of the Geipan website which includes cases, briefs, methodology documents and conference proceedings.
National Archives – Records Related to UFOs
Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE)
In 2026 President Donald Trump directed the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs). This is the DoW’s archive of released records.
The Black Vault
Proprietor John Greenewald, Jr. founded the Black Vault in 1996 and has accumulating documents ever since. As of 2026, the overall collection approaches 4 million documents and many thousands of UFO / UAP related documents built up from thousands of FOIA requests.
AARO EFOIA Reading Room
The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) EFOIA Reading Room contains a collection of responses to UAP-related FOIA requests.
This collection contains responsive documents to FOIA requests relating to AARO since its establishment in July 2022. This collection is not intended to serve as an exhaustive reference for UAP record requests across the U.S. Government.
