Enigma Labs (enigmalabs.io) is a private technology company building a structured, filterable global UAP sighting database. Coverage in Bloomberg, Fortune, Vice, and The Economist. Partner links with pentagonufofiles.io. Enigma allows users to filter specifically for transmedium and underwater sightings — making it the only civilian database where USO cases are a searchable category.
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.
Legendary investigative journalist George Knapp physically removed classified Soviet UFO documents from Russia in the 1990s by stripping their classified cover sheets. The files reveal the Soviet Union ran multiple parallel UFO investigation programmes tracking thousands of reports while publicly dismissing UAP as American propaganda. Former FBI agent Ben Hansen: “This phenomenon was taken seriously at the highest levels of government.”
The National Archives Presidential Library UAP holdings span thirteen presidential libraries from Herbert Hoover through George W. Bush. Records include Senate committee files on unidentified flying objects (1965), journalistic investigations, Air Force briefings, and presidential correspondence. The Herbert Hoover Library holds Bourke Hickenlooper’s Senate UAP files. Every administration from the atomic age onward has a documented UAP record.
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.
In March 2023 a US citizen filed a FOIA request to the Department of Defense Inspector General specifically naming “Directed Energy Bio-Behavioral Research (DEBR)” programmes, “Remote Neural Monitoring weapons/technologies,” and requesting informed consent documentation for DEW testing on US civilians. Tracking number DODOIG-2023-000607. Status: Rejected. The rejection itself is evidence.
The National Archives holds the complete Project Blue Book photographic record — the entirety of the US Air Force’s UFO investigation photography from 1952 to 1969. The bulk download is 36.48GB. UAP Oracle has downloaded and uploaded three photographs directly from the NARA S3 archive: Alamogordo NM, Naha Okinawa 1962, and Snohomish Washington. These are now permanently hosted here.
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.
The National Archives has established Record Group 615 — the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection — per sections 1841–1843 of the 2024 NDAA. Six agencies have already transferred files: FAA (63MB), NRC (11.74MB), ODNI (1.29MB), OSD (103.37MB), NSA, and the Department of State. All records are available as bulk downloads from NARA’s S3 infrastructure.
NARA has established a formal metadata standard for UAP Records Collection transfers. Every document requires a UAP Record Identifier in the format ###UAP00001. Required fields include: transferring agency, agency-assigned identifiers, title, creation date, and classification history. The metadata schema is publicly available. This is the cataloguing architecture for what will become the most significant declassified government archive ever assembled.
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 National Archives holds moving images and sound recordings related to UAP across nine record groups and collections. Among them: RG 263 (Central Intelligence Agency) contains CIA-produced moving images related to UAP. RG 111 includes Major General John A. Samford’s 1952 press conference addressing the Washington DC overflights — the largest US Air Force press conference since WWII. These are online and downloadable.
In March 2023, a FOIA request filed through MuckRock to the DOD Office of Inspector General asked for records on directed energy weapons being used on US civilians, naming specifically “Directed Energy Bio-Behavioral Research (DEBR) programs.” Tracking number DODOIG-2023-000607. The DOD OIG rejected it with a “no nexus” response within two days. The rejection letter — signed by Eric R. Powers — does not deny these programmes exist. It says ask somewhere else.
The National Archives holds declassified UAP photographs across multiple record groups including Project Blue Book (RG 341), USAF Commands (RG 342), and NASA (RG 255). NARA’s photographs page lists seven NASA “Flying Saucer” images, multiple Project Blue Book film stills, and USAF Commands photographs with National Archives catalog identifiers. These are public domain and downloadable.
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.
The Air University research guide and the CRS DEW report together map a complete industrial ecosystem building toward megawatt-scale directed energy weapons. AFIT has a dedicated Centre for Directed Energy. AFRL has an active DE technology directorate. DARPA runs classified programmes. Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Honeywell all have active DEW product lines. The Directed Energy Professional Society organises the community. This is a mature, fully funded industrial programme.
Australia’s DSTG published DSC 2084 on HPRF DEW. The US CRS published IF11882 updating DEW programmes. The UK MOD has active DEW programmes under Project Dragonfire. Canada and New Zealand participate through Five Eyes intelligence sharing and joint research programmes. The entire Anglophone military intelligence alliance is simultaneously developing directed energy weapons that can counter uninhabited aerial systems.
The Australian DST definition of HPRF DEW — “coupling electromagnetic energy into circuitry at sufficient levels to cause operational disruption or damage” — is the precise mechanism that explains documented UAP effects on aircraft electronics, vehicle ignition systems, military radar, and human neurological tissue. HPRF coupling is not a theory applied to UAP. It is the only known mechanism that fits every documented category of UAP physical effect.
