AARO Plans Access to NUFOHRC Historical UAP Archive
The Pentagon initiated steps toward a sole-source procurement intended to give AARO access to the private historical UAP archive maintained by the National Unidentified Flying Object Historic Records Center. The planned subscription focuses particularly on pre-1990 material that could support AARO's congressionally mandated review of the United States government's UAP history since 1945.
Background
A Department of Defense contracting notice disclosed plans for a commercial data subscription from the National Unidentified Flying Object Historic Records Center. The proposed access would allow AARO to examine historical UAP case material that the department described as unavailable at comparable depth and volume in other public or private repositories.
The planned access supports AARO's mandate to review the United States government's UAP activities since 1945. The available source does not establish that a contract has already been awarded or that records have already been transferred.
Significance
The initiative could broaden AARO's historical review through a large body of privately preserved case files and help identify gaps in pre-1990 government records.
