[ARCHIVE | BlackVault | cred=86] Welcome to the dedicated archive of FBI files on Scientists and Medical Professionals at The Black Vault. This specialized collection offers a revealing window into the FBI’s monitoring and investigation of notable individuals within the scientific and medical communities.
[FAA/PILOT | BlackVault | cred=82] This FOIA release stems from a request seeking emails to or from the Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force, General Stephen W. “Seve” Wilson, using Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP)-related keywords. While the resulting records do not contain substantive internal
[FAA/PILOT | BlackVault | cred=86] A newly released set of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), documents an unusual aerial encounter involving a business jet over Northern Nevada in May 2025. The records include air traffic control (ATC) audio and
Weekly archive watch. The institutional records worth tracking right now.
The current institutional UAP apparatus did not emerge from a single decision. It was built incrementally over 75 years.
UAP is not a US-only problem. It has never been. But the institutional response has been almost entirely national. That is beginning to change.
AARO’s EFOIA Reading Room is the most underused primary source in UAP research. Ten leads worth investigating.
AARO’s public face gets all the attention. The institutional infrastructure feeding into AARO is mostly absent from coverage despite being a matter of public record.
Aviation produces the most credible UAP reports in the official record. Here’s why pilots, ATC, and the structures around them matter more than civilian witnesses.
When a commercial pilot sees something they cannot explain, the report moves through three separate systems and two federal agencies. The infrastructure is the more interesting story.
The week’s archival activity worth tracking: the April 27 congressional deadline, AARO’s GREMLIN sensor deployment, and quieter primary-source updates.
Most UAP coverage collapses three fundamentally different verdicts into one. Resolved, insufficient data, and unresolved are not interchangeable.
House Oversight gave the FBI, DoD, DoE, and NASA until April 27 to brief on the missing scientists. The deadline passed. Only the FBI has publicly confirmed engagement.
