NOAA is not a UAP archive. But FOIA requests for NOAA sonar data — particularly around the ‘Malibu Anomaly,’ an unusual undersea structure off the California coast — have been a persistent avenue for USO researchers. NOAA’s hydrophone arrays and sonar survey data represent the largest civilian acoustic monitoring infrastructure on the planet. Unknown acoustic phenomena have been documented in those systems.

In 2019, the USS Omaha documented a UAP entering the water from the air. The ‘splash’ was captured on multiple sensors. An object that was aerial became submerged — the definitive transmedium event. AARO’s subsequent classification of UAP as ‘all-domain anomalies’ explicitly covering undersea is a direct institutional response to Omaha and cases like it.

Naval History Magazine, August 2022: The USS Stein (1978) had its sonar dome slashed by claws from a giant squid larger than any documented specimen. The first megamouth shark was discovered in 1976 when a torpedo recovery boat accidentally caught one. A 1955 USS Hale report described a monster on the ship’s ramming stem. The USNI’s argument: no plane has ever been documented damaged by a UFO. Several ships have sustained physical damage from unknown underwater organisms.

The KGB’s primary classified UAP file is known as the ‘Blue Folder.’ No official Russian .ru portal exists. The files are physically held in Moscow or have been leaked and hosted on Western archival sites. This is the complete research guide to accessing Soviet and Russian UAP records from outside Russia.

BAE Systems is the UK’s largest defence contractor and one of the world’s top five. Its Electronic Systems division operates major DEW programmes including participation in Project Dragonfire — the UK MOD’s high-energy laser weapon. BAE’s US subsidiary contracts across DARPA, AFRL, and US Navy DEW programmes. With $29B in annual revenue and 100,000 employees, BAE represents the mature industrial base behind the DEW race.

The NARA UAP Records Collection FAQ states the collection will consist of records relating to “unidentified anomalous phenomena, technologies of unknown origin, and non-human intelligence.” Non-human intelligence is now a formal legal category in US federal records law. This is not a UFO enthusiast’s framing. It is the exact language of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, codified at 44 U.S.C. 2107.

BAE Systems — the UK’s largest defence contractor — is a primary participant in Project Dragonfire, the UK MOD’s high-energy laser weapon that completed its first aerial target engagements in January 2024. BAE also developed HYPERION (HPM weapon) and ADAPTIV (thermal camouflage eliminating infrared signature). Together with Leonardo, MBDA, QinetiQ, and Thales, BAE represents the Five Eyes’ European DEW industrial capability.

The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, sections 1841–1843, requires NARA to establish a UAP Records Collection and every federal agency to identify and transfer records relating to “unidentified anomalous phenomena, technologies of unknown origin, and non-human intelligence.” That phrase — non-human intelligence — is now a formal legal category in US federal records law. NARA has established Record Group 615. The transfer deadline was October 2024.
