FBI PDF — Case File 62-HQ-83894 (2026)

Summary

This is Section 2 of the FBI's main UFO case file (62-HQ-83894), covering reported flying disc and UFO incidents from June 1947 through July 1968. It contains investigative records, eyewitness testimonies, public reports, and photographic evidence, and represents a more complete version of the file than what the FBI previously posted publicly, with fewer redactions and some previously missing pages now included.

Key Findings

• 1The file spans over two decades of FBI UFO documentation, from the first major wave of flying disc reports in June 1947 through July 1968.
• 2Photographic evidence from Oak Ridge, Tennessee — a classified nuclear facility — is specifically mentioned as part of the file's contents.
• 3The file includes technical proposals related to potential propulsion systems associated with the reported objects.
• 4This version contains newly declassified pages and fewer redactions than the copy previously available on the FBI's public Vault website, meaning some content here has not been widely seen before.
• 5Beyond incident reports, the file also includes researcher accounts, convention programs, and extensive media coverage from the era, suggesting the FBI was tracking public and scientific interest in UFOs, not just individual sightings.
